UrbanOccupationsOETR_1844/45 Bursa Region Temettuat Agricultural Production Dataset

<p><strong>&lsquo;UrbanOccupationsOETR_1844/45 Bursa Region Temettuat Agricultural Production Dataset&rsquo;</strong>&nbsp; is constructed first by manual data entry from the Ottoman temettuat registers (available at the Turkish Presidency State Archives of the Republic of Turkey &ndash; Department of Ottoman Archives, (ML. VRD. TMT. d.) collection) into our customized relational database and then by making a selection available in spreadsheet format.</p> <p><br> Our team located, curated, and extracted agricultural production data for a total of 81 geosampled villages from the Bursa region for 1844/45. We coded both agricultural production areas as well as product type using the Corine Land Cover nomenclature (CLC2018,&nbsp;<a href="https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html">https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html</a>) and made available only the category, &lsquo;2.1.1 Non-irrigated arable land&rsquo; (<a href="https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html/index-clc-211.html">https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/corine-land-cover-nomenclature-guidelines/html/index-clc-211.html</a>), as a proxy for grain production.</p> <p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-ikBlHshXqyDBiKYuhMkLW3LSWyBgAFj/view?usp=sharing"><strong>02122020-A5_Total</strong></a>&nbsp;count of agricultural entries CLC 2.1.1 coded, qualified (d&ouml;n&uuml;m and convertible) and quantified (numerical value)<br> provides data on the cultivated area in square meters of 4,657 units, belonging to 3,019 producers, of 2,892 households, in 81 villages.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XeJnAvPhH0TJpb3ZwAk_sVgPqBzGMjj4/view?usp=sharing">02122020_T6_Total</a></strong>&nbsp;count of tithe tax entries CLC 2.1.1 coded, qualified (kile and convertible), and quantified (numerical value)<br> provides data on production volumes in kgs of 4,516 units, belonging to 1,924 producers, of 1,873 households, in 70 villages.</p> <p><br> Please cite the below paper in your publications if you use the dataset:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <blockquote> <p>Ustaoglu, Eda, M.
