In this respect, between the years 1922 and 1938 a total of twenty-oneworks were published under the title of "Turkey's Sanitary and Social Geography".One of these works, which introduces the Anatolian provinces and sanjaksregarding health, social and geographical aspects of the political, social andeconomic conditions that the newly established Turkish State took over from theOttoman period and contains first-hand authentic information is the OsmaniyeProvince.
