Administrative, Social and Economic Structures of Nomad Communities in Cihanbeyli-Haymana Area (1827-1861)

Abstract

By the 1850s, the Haymana-Cihanbeyli area was filled with nomads, whose origins were Eastern Anatolia or Southern Azerbaijan. One of them was the Cihanbeyli tribe and the other eight tribes or communities which were under this tribal administration. While each of these communities was ruled by tribal rulers (mir) in the long Ottoman history, after the declaration of the Tanzimat-i Hayriye (Edict of Gülhane) in 1839 when the empire aimed to take control of nomadic organizations and include them in the same administrative system as other citizens, the process of being included in the system has accelerated. Accordingly, and especially towards the 1850s, the nomadic communities in the Cihanbeyli-Haymana area were transformed into a separate town/district governorship under the name of the Aşayir-i Seb’a Kaymakamlığı, that is to say, Yedi Aşiret Kaymakamlığı (Seven Tribe Governorship). This development was undoubtedly against tribal rulers like Alişan Bey, who had an influence on him in the region. In Central Anatolia, there were approximately 103 nomad villages in the Cihanbeyli-Haymana area and provided agriculture as well as livestock. They have exceptionally special features by embroidering the Ottoman mosaic and Turkish-Islamic culture to Central Anatolia by preserving their social and cultural structures till today with their efforts in animal husbandry, agriculture, and trade. Since it provides a cross-section of these features, our study makes an important contribution to the nomadic studies in Anatolia.
