Özet:

The settling characteristics of Erzincan town in Ottoman Period are examined in this study. City (quarter), village, and small rural settlements, which are seen as settlements in the town, are analyzed and periodic changes are established. It is important to consider long time periods in terms of the time limitation in the sense of that the changes the settlements have experienced are propounded. The toughest side of the research is to determine the names and sites of the settlements. Terrain study has been made to determine the names of the sites and the findings acquired have been comparatively evaluated. Because of the destructive earthquakes, except for the quarters in the town, most of the villages and small rural settlements are seen to maintain their existence since they can hold population.
