Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This study releases the first complete Ottoman urban population dataset from 1839 Bursa registers. This historical demographic data is now accessible for global research, enhancing social science understanding.
Area Of Science
- Historical demography
- Social science research
- Ottoman studies
Background
- The
- big microdata revolution
- transformed social science research through accessible historical census data.
- Ottoman Empire population records were largely unavailable to this ecosystem.
- This limited historical demographic studies in the region.
Purpose Of The Study
- To release the inaugural complete population dataset for an Ottoman urban center (Bursa, 1839).
- To make previously inaccessible Ottoman population registers available in a compatible format for global microdata repositories.
- To enable and broaden historical demographic studies for the Ottoman realm and beyond.
Main Methods
- Digitization and tabulation of originally non-tabulated 1839 Bursa population registers.
- Integration of data into a relational Microsoft Access database.
- Ensuring compatibility with global microdata repository standards.
Main Results
- The first complete dataset of population records for the Ottoman city of Bursa (1839) is now available.
- The dataset reveals the quality and sophistication of Ottoman population registers, comparable to 19th-century global censuses.
- The data is presented in an accessible, tabular format within a relational database.
Conclusions
- The released Bursa dataset significantly enhances the accessibility of Ottoman historical demographic data.
- This resource unlocks underexploited potential for historical demographic research in the Ottoman Empire and related regions.
- The project broadens access to valuable datasets for the global social science research community.

Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...
Collecting samples or responses from an entire population takes significant time and effort, so a researcher collects responses from only a sample of that population. Suppose a study needs to collect information about a specific mobile application. After sample collection, the researcher analyzes the data and discovers that most individuals in the sample use that specific mobile application. The sample proportion measures the number of individuals in a sample who either use or don't use the...
A frequency distribution table can be constructed using the steps given below.
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
Systematic sampling is one of the simplest methods...
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...
