Revealing urban–rural migration corridors through edge-path bundling of historical census data in Bulgaria
This featured graphic visualises internal migration flows in Bulgaria using settlement-level census data from 1934 to 1946, highlighting how topography and local factors shaped migration and urbanisation. By combining spatial interaction models (SIMs) and edge-path bundling techniques, we reveal fine-scale migration corridors and the role of mountainous terrain in influencing mobility. The SIM approach goes beyond aggregate district analysis to p…
Automatic Road Extraction from Historical Maps Using Transformer-Based SegFormers
Historical maps are valuable sources of geospatial data for various geography-related applications, providing insightful information about historical land use, transportation infrastructure, and settlements. While transformer-based segmentation methods have been widely applied to image segmentation tasks, they have mostly focused on satellite images. There is a growing need to explore transformer-based approaches for geospatial object extraction …
Mid-Nineteenth-Century Gemlik and Its Environs
This paper discusses the interrelations between migration, agricultural production, class, and cultural belonging, focusing on the economic and demographic transformation of Gemlik, an Ottoman district that underwent substantial change over the course of the nineteenth century. Based on the mid-nineteenth-century population and tax registers of the town of Gemlik and of two villages in the district, Kurşunlu and Kumla-i Sagir, we demonstrate that…
Making of a mid-nineteenth century Ottoman gazetteer and mapping and examining late Ottoman population geography
This article highlights the absence of historical gazetteers for territories once part of the Ottoman Empire, which hinders modern scholarship. The mid-nineteenth-century population registers ( nüfus defterleri ) offer a useful foundation for developing a gazetteer of the entire Ottoman Empire, but their use is limited due to the challenging task of geolocating the included populated places. To overcome this issue, two research projects collabora…
Automatic Road Extraction from Historical Maps Using Deep Learning Techniques
Scanned historical maps are available from different sources in various scales and contents. Automatic geographical feature extraction from these historical maps is an essential task to derive valuable spatial information on the characteristics and distribution of transportation infrastructures and settlements and to conduct quantitative and geometrical analysis. In this research, we used the Deutsche Heereskarte 1:200,000 Türkei (DHK 200 Turkey)…
Labor Migration from Kruševo
Although mountainous regions remained relatively isolated and almost untouched by the Ottoman rule, labor migration connected the inhabitants of these regions to the socioeconomic and political processes in the Ottoman Empire and beyond. Kruševo, a highland village located in present-day North Macedonia, provides an excellent case for understanding these connections. This paper presents systematic evidence from the Ottoman archives to document an…
Bridging the Gap between Pre-census and Census-era Historical Data
This research introduces a novel geo-spatial sampling model to overcome a major difficulty in historical economic geography of Bulgarian lands during a crucial period: immediately before and after the de facto independence of the territory from the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the nineteenth century. At its core it seeks to investigate the research question how the Bulgarian independence affected agricultural production in two regions (ce…
Working for the State in the Urban Economies of Ankara, Bursa, and Salonica
In most cases, and particularly in the cases of Greece and Turkey, political transformation from multinational empire to nation state has been experienced to a great extent in urban centres. In Ankara, Bursa, and Salonica, the cities selected for this article, the consequences of state-making were drastic for all their inhabitants; Ankara and Bursa had strong Greek communities, while in the 1840s Salonica was the Jewish metropolis of the eastern …

Working in a Fez Factory in Istanbul in the Late Nineteenth Century
In terms of production volume, most Ottoman state factories cannot be regarded as success stories, yet the labour relations they initiated, engendered, and supervised were important for the emergence of factory labour in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish republic. One of those state factories was the Imperial Fez Factory, where, throughout the nineteenth century, approximately 500 workers were employed, making it the second highest concentration…
