Profile of the group: Provincial administration

No source read describes Belediye Muhasebecisi by itself, so this is the profile of its group of job titles.

Officials of provincial administration: governors (vali), mutasarrıfs, kaymakams, nahiye directors, and officials of the municipalities (belediye) and of the population registers (nüfus).1 Under the provincial regulation of 1864 (Vilayat Nizamnamesi) the eyalet gave way to the province (vilayet), and each sancak was put under a mutasarrıf.2 From 1864, under the regulation of the Danube province, the kaymakam became the civil head of a kaza, and nahiyes formed from several villages were put under nahiye directors (nahiye müdürü). The units, from the top, remained vilayet, sancak, kaza and nahiye until 1921.3

Requirements for entry

  • kaymakams generally chosen, from 1864, from the graduates of the Mekteb-i Mülkiyye3
  • the Mekteb-i Mülkiyye, opened in 1859, was to train kaymakams and directors of kazas and of finance (mal müdürü),4,5 and its first 33 graduates, in January 1861, were appointed kaza directors, to be raised to kaymakam as they gained experience6
