Many reform reports were prepared during the Ottoman Empire to evaluate Konya’s agricultural and economic opportunities. One of these is the commission report dated 1902, which is the subject of the study. The article discusses the report prepared by the commission established to examine the situation of Kastamonu and Adana provinces, as well as Konya and its districts, to guide the reforms to be made. The report includes the commission’s opinions and Konya Governorship’s objections to the commission report. Thus, it is possible to compare the information provided. Most of the original report was prepared based on districts. Accordingly, significant information is given about the branches in which the districts stand out regarding economic activities, their current situation, opportunities, and deficiencies. Although districts and sectors are explained separately, it is seen that the issues are approached from a holistic perspective. In the article, the district-based method was not followed; the report was classified by subject and examined under subheadings such as agriculture and animal husbandry, industry, trade, capital and technology, and public works activities; however, some information about the districts is also provided. In addition to the original documents containing the commission report, the Salname of the period (1317/1900) and secondary sources were consulted. Moreover, some similar reports submitted about Konya before the 1902 report were discussed, and a brief comparison was made.}, number={2}, publisher={Sinop Üniversitesi}
