Özet:

During the period of Sultan Mahmud II., records called tahrir were kept in order to determine the economic and human resources of the country. In these population records, information about the name, nickname, profession, father's name, father's occupation, age, disability, military status, and migration movements of the all-male population residing in the settlement centers were recorded. In this context, the population record of Chungush district, dated 1842 and numbered 2662, was examined. Based on the population records of Chungush district, the administrative status of Chungush, the distribution of the male population in the district center and the villages connected to the district, the religious-ethnic structure of the district, its distribution to age groups, the occupational and social status of the people, the disease and disability, and the way of cultivation of the lands in the Chungush district were discussed.
