Agricultural and administrative reforms in Ottoman Syria and their impact on the City of Salamiyya and its Ismaili Population
This lecture will be held in Arabic at 16.00 BST (18.00 SYR)
The lecture deals with the Ottoman second Tanzimat (reforms) that were announced and implemented in the second half of the nineteenth century and how these reforms had their impact on the city of Salamiyya and its Ismaili population. In particular, we will examine the agricultural reforms represented by the Land Code of 1858 (Arazi Kanunnamesi), the land registration law of 1861 known as the tapu, and others. We will explore how these laws played an important role in the expansion of the agricultural area in Salamiyya and its surroundings, land ownership and the types of crops that were grown there, in addition to other contributions that helped making Salamiyya a distinct town in Ottoman Syria in the last decade of Ottoman rule.
We will also examine the Ottoman administrative reforms represented in the Wilayat (Vilayet) Law of 1864, which participated in placing Salamiyya on the map of the administrative hierarchy in Ottoman Syria through the official recognition of Salamiyya as an administrative unit in the 1880s. Throughout the lecture, we will explore the role the Ottoman authorities and Salamiyya鈥檚 Isma鈥榠li inhabitants played in implementing these reforms and in advancing Salamiyya from a small village to a district with its own municipal council with a number of its residents as members of it.
