Aspects of Nish’s Economic Structure: A Comparative Analysis between the Early Ottoman Period and the 19th Century

Öz

In ancient times, Nish, known as Naissus, was a major urban center with a strategic position along the Via Militaris. Following its incorporation into the Ottoman Empire in 1385, the city became one of the leading commercial and military hubs in the southeastern Balkans. During the Ottoman period (1385–1878), Nish preserved its importance and played a significant role in historical and economic developments. In the 16th century, the economy was structured on an agrarian‑feudal basis supported by the timar system; land was administered in forms such as has, zeamet, and timar, while revenues were primarily derived from agricultural production, livestock, and taxation. In the 19th century, a transformation of the economic structure is observed, marked by a stronger urban orientation and the expansion of trade, crafts, and services, although agriculture remained the dominant sector. At the same time, an economic network developed between Nish and the surrounding kazas, supported by road infrastructure and commercial facilities. The results reveal a gradual modernization process characterized by increased financial stability and improved infrastructure, while industrialization remained restricted. This study analyzes the economic transformation of Nish and its surroundings within two main periods: the early Ottoman era (15th–16th centuries) and the 19th century.
