Özet:

The cities, which are the most important extension of the process of civilization started by the humans’ transition into the settled life, are the places of settlement formed by various principle entities which are generated based upon the needs of the community throughout the history. These entities are the structures in regards to fulfilling the social, economic, religious and cultural needs of the society which lives together in the city. These structures, which have a significant place in the formation of both the silhouette and architecture of the Ottoman cities, have mostly been created and maintained by means of establishing waqfs. The concept of waqf also forms the harmony, solidarity and cooperation observed in the neighborhoods which are the basic units of the city. In an Ottoman city, the structures such as mosques and hermitages, which are amongst the tangible manifestations of the institution of waqf, had been providing a social and cultural interaction within the society and thus contributing into its development. In this study, based upon the Ottoman archival documents, the Imam Abdullah Mosque and Zawiyah, which provided great contributions into the development of the social fabric and the dynamism of the daily life of the city of Hasankeyf, are introduced. Additionally, the way of operation, revenues and expenditures of the waqf, comprising a group of  various buildings, and the wages of its personnel are addressed.
