Abstract

   For years, working on the products of foreign diplomats has become a subject of research, and in this regard, the study of urban situations, based on this information, is the most focused. Kirkuk is one of the cities that for years was the center of the state and then the center of the Sanjak, which led to most foreign diplomats and writers passing through the region or registering their interest in the region.

    This research is entitled (The Economic situation of Kirkuk and its surroundings in several foreign sources in the nineteenth century), and it consists of introduction and three axes: The first is entitled (The Agricultural Sector in Kirkuk) and focuses on the geographical location, climate and topography of the city, which made it fertile soil and abundant crops. As for the second axis, entitled(The Trade Sector in Kirkuk), it focuses on the importance of the city as a center and a trade route between the two mountainous regions in the north and northeast, as well as the Hills and Flat regions in the south. The focus is on the markets, khans, and the most important goods and products traded in the city.

    In the third topic entitled (The Craft industries sector in Kirkuk), we discussed the most prominent professional activities that existed in the city, some of which were characteristic of Kirkuk. Finally, the most important conclusions reached by the researcher while writing his research are presented. As for the method or methodology of writing this research, we relied on the narrative and synthetic approach, and sometimes in order to present some information and compare it with foreign sources, we relied on some Ottoman sources, such as books, encyclopedias, and other auxiliary sources.
