Abstract

The study of Ottoman lakes and wetlands from the perspective of management and conservation is an emerging field. Scholars have explored Ottoman strategies for managing agricultural and extractive landscapes, yet detailed investigation of socio-political responses to dynamic wetlands, particularly during periods of drastic climate shifts, requires deeper investigation. Our research on wetlands and lakes moves from the purview of waqf s (pious foundations) to the emergence of the Ottoman Public Debt Administration (OPDA). By examining the shifting perspectives of institutional authority and community responses to it from the early modern period to the nineteenth century, we discuss the complexities of wetland management in the Marmara Lake Basin within the sancak of Saruhan (contemporary Manisa) in western Anatolia. We argue that intimate knowledge of this specific ecosystem played a critical role in mitigating attempts at reclamation and land grabbing and ultimately in developing legal structures of and policies for Ottoman conservation strategies. We situate our discussion within the paradigm of environing made possible by detailed longue-durée archival narratives; these micro-histories afford a dynamic perspective into non-linear responses to ecological and political changes and provide a local lens into the scalar impacts of human agency.

奥斯曼湖泊和流动景观:马尔马拉湖盆地的环境、湿地和保护,大约1550-1900年
从管理和保护的角度研究奥斯曼湖泊和湿地是一个新兴的领域。学者们已经探索了奥斯曼帝国管理农业和采掘景观的策略,但对动态湿地的社会政治反应的详细调查,特别是在剧烈气候变化期间,需要更深入的调查。我们对湿地和湖泊的研究从waqf(虔诚的基金会)的范围转移到奥斯曼公共债务管理局(OPDA)的出现。通过研究从现代早期到19世纪机构权威和社区对其的反应的转变观点,我们讨论了安纳托利亚西部萨鲁汗(当代马尼萨)sancak内马尔马拉湖流域湿地管理的复杂性。我们认为,对这一特定生态系统的深入了解在减轻开垦和土地掠夺的企图以及最终为奥斯曼保护战略制定法律结构和政策方面发挥了关键作用。我们将我们的讨论置于环境的范例中,通过详细的长时间的档案叙述来实现;这些微观历史为生态和政治变化的非线性响应提供了一个动态的视角,并为人类机构的标量影响提供了一个局部的视角。
