Abstract

Archival resources related to the population of the Ottoman State are different according to the periods and while the population information related to the classical period is being tried to be extracted from the tahrir books, XIX. and XX. in the centuries, this situation has left its place in the census books. The Ottoman Empire attaches great importance to keeping records about land typing and population counts and related records. The first population census in modern sense in the Ottoman State was made in 1831. The purpose of the population census is to determine the military potential of the army and the amount of tax that can be taken. At the same time, in many states and empires where the structure of the agrarian society is dominant, counts were made in order to determine the tax population potential of the country. The main book of my work is the Konya province, Hamid Sanjak, İncir Township Muslim population book, written in 1831, registered in the Prime Ministry's Ottoman Archives (Hijri 1246, NFS.d, 3237). In this study, according to the first population book dated 1831, the Muslim population living in Kestel, Yüreğil, Keçili, Ürkütlü, Seyyid, Dere and Koklan villages of İncir township will be determined and evaluated with socio-economic dimension.
