Strategies for Maintaining Social Order in Jerusalem From Ottoman Rule to The Present Day and Their Effects on Marketing Power

Abstract

The study examines the strategies for maintaining social order in Jerusalem from the Ottoman period to the present day, and the effectiveness of today's modern information technologies in maintaining social order is analyzed. In the conceptual framework, the strategies used to organize and stabilize society during Ottoman rule are discussed in relation to historical practices. This point reveals the differences between the British Mandate's practices and the next administration period. Following the analysis of historical practices, the interaction between the academic study data obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) database and the country populations is presented with the help of the SPSS v21 program to measure the value countries attach to information systems in the social field today. Thus, a study covering historical strategies and modern practices used to manage dense population structures is presented. The findings provide valuable results to draw attention to the importance of information systems in maintaining social order. These findings offer strategic insights into government policies in managing population density, a key aspect of ensuring social stability.
