Sažetak
The paper analyses demographic, landholding and economic structure in Lika, namely in the three Ottoman nahiyes founded in the second half of the 16th century – nahiyes Novi, Medak and Bilaj Barlete, and reconstructs the course of settlement based on the preserved Ottoman tax registers from the 16th century for the sancaks of Bosnia, Klis and Krka to which Lika belonged. The said nahiyes were “clustered” geographically and administratively ; they were three neighbouring administrative and judicial units in the area where the centre of administration over Ottoman Lika was situated. The area encompassed by the three nahiyes become the nucleus of population density in Ličko polje. The paper records the changes between the census years in the number of settlement and population density, demographic movements, landholding structure and tax system. The paper devotes attention to the characteristics of the Ottoman recolonization policy, the efforts invested by the Ottoman government to repopulate Lika and describes the effects of the measures undertaken. The paper reconstructed the landowning structure based on the information from the tax register.
