Profile of the group: Provincial administration

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
