Özet:

This study aims to examine the employment status of the 18th century of the Jerusalem City foundations in terms of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the founding staff. The study, in the context of the practices of the Ottoman Central Administration with regard to the foundations, focuses on the functioning of the state power and control and the signs of existence. In the first part of the study, which is formed in the four parts, the position of the foundation officials within the Ottoman society structure will be identified, the titles and statements of these officials and the changes within the historical process will be included. After that, the appointment, minimum and mandate periods of the officers will be examined again under a separate title. In this context, the processes related to the impact and control of the Ottoman Central Administration on these appointments will be determined. The third part, which we try to identify the status of the foundation officials in Jerusalem within the city population, will follow the section where the salaries of the foundation officials are examined. The analysis of these will be attempted to keep the light on employment policies that enable the Ottoman central administration to maintain its authority in a town of Taşra through the foundation tasks and wages.
