Abstract
This work is a two part inquiry into the nature of the Ottoman urban settlements in
a certain context. In the first part a broad classification of three important functional
and structural characteristics of the Ottoman city are evaluated. In the second part
follows a discussion regarding the urban relations experienced both internally and
externally. While considering these relations grouped under some general headings,
an interpretation of certain correlations between them and the previously examined
urban characteristics is provided taking different cities of the Ottoman geography as
examples. Original Ottoman documents from especially the Court Registers provide
additional insight into the various administrative, social and economic mechanisms
within towns and cities. They also shed light into a number of issues associated
with some of the internal relations of cities as well as external ones which develop
in conjunction with the socio-economic and geographic qualities of the near and
distant environment.
