Summary/Abstract: The economic structure of the Gazi Ali Bey neighborhood in 1845 presents a diverse array of professions and income sources that had a profound impact on the life and stability of the community. Drawing from the Temettuat Defter of 1845 (ML.VRD.TMT.d.15477) and various historical sources, the study categorizes primary income streams—including crafts, trade, rentals, and security services—as key contributors to economic growth in the neighborhood. A particular emphasis is placed on the revenues generated from agricultural lands and pastures, underscoring the essential role of agrarian economics in sustaining the daily life and well-being of the local population. This rich economic diversity across sectors helped maintain socio-economic stability, allowing the Gazi Ali Bey neighborhood to remain resilient and adaptable amid the shifting conditions of mid-19th century Vushtrri.
