Özet:

Sanjak of Teke (Antalya), one of the five sanjaks of the Konya province in the beginning of the 20th century had possessed an area of 22,370 square kilometers and a 350 nautical miles of coastline. Its population was about 250,000. With this position it had constituted a geographical unit which was bigger than many separate sanjaks and even some provinces. In spite of this, insufficient organization of the sanjak which is incompatible with its size and its long distance to the provincial center of Konya had caused serious troubles in the administration. This situation revealed the need for a new administrative organization. Besides this, the provincial law of 26 March 1913 had brought a new understanding of governance which was based on smaller, manageable administrative units. With all these reasons, Sanjak of Teke had been established as a separate unit by parting from the province of Konya on 12 March 1914. The administrative organization in the detached sanjak followed a long and troublesome path. In this process, new districts (Kaza) and subdistricts (Nahiye) had been formed. In these areas it has been tried to establish new civil service units and their staff. On the other hand special sanjak administration had been found, the general council of the sanjak had assembled and set to work for the preparation of the sanjak budget.
