- Abstract
The existence of information and documents about the history of a space contains information about the stages of the place and how the geographical factors are reflected in the socioeconomic and cultural life. This information can also be used for planning the future of the space. This study aimed to evaluate the work of "Geography of Balıkesir Province" written by Mehmed Gazâlî in 1927, from the perspective of historical geography. This work, which is in the form of a photograph of the province of Balıkesir (geology, climate, mountains, rivers, lakes, swamps, seas, forests, plants, animals, agriculture, transportation, population, settlement etc.) approximately a century ago, is an important work in terms of revealing the stages through which Balıkesir passes. When the results of the research are considered, this study of Gazali, where the physical and human geography characteristics of Balıkesir are handled together, is a work that can be evaluated within the scope of regional geography. The work usually includes explanations based on description. Considering that the date the work was written and the author was not a geographer, it can be said that it was a successful work for his period. The author has successfully used the data obtained from relevant institutions and sources in his text. Although he often produced a work based on depictive explanations, he sometimes made important inferences or comparisons in the study.
