Abstract
During the period of Mahmut II, a mukhtar organization was established in the field of local administrations. It is aimed to strengthen the municipality organization and the central authority. In this way, population mobility can be controlled and state control will be ensured by restricting the activities of provinces. The first mukhtar organization was established in Istanbul in 1829 during the reign of Mahmut II in Üsküdar, Galata and Eyüp (bilad-ı selasa). It is aimed to control the immigration of people to Istanbul and control the entrances and exits. Mahmut II ordered that the organization be established soon in the province. It appears that the first work of a mukhtar organization was established in Kastamonu in 1833. It followed flags like Ankara, Sivas and Aydin. The establishment of the organization is delayed in Aksaray's Karaman State. Mahmud II Karaman gave an order to the establishment of an organization with an order sent to the Supreme Court. In 1835, Mutasarrif Ali Pasha informed that Konya, Aksehir, Aksaray and Beyşehir banners were appointed by choosing the muhtars for the new method. In the direction of the Sultan's command, the names of muhtars who were established in Aksaray neighborhoods and villages in 1835 constituted the basis of our work. The establishment and operation of the muhtar organization in Aksaray and Köyler will be explained in this booklet.
