Özet:

 Mustafa Kemal Pashas journey through Western Anatolia, encompassing Eskişehir, Bilecik, İzmit, and Bursa, and concluding in İzmir, marked his first extensive domestic tour and served as an opportunity for direct engagement with the public, effectively functioning as a public opinion survey. During this journey, Mustafa Kemal Pasha sought to assess the state of the military following the National Struggle and to address the concerns of the people directly, providing immediate and detailed responses to their inquiries. This research covers the part of the trip that took place between January 14 and February 17, 1923, and lasted a little more than a month, until the Pashas arrival in Izmir on January 25, 1923. During this time Mustafa Kemal Pasha featured official ceremonies and large crowds welcoming him at each stop. He met with the public at train stations and cinema halls, listened to their grievances, and delivered explanations regarding the nations critical issues. Key topics on his agenda included the Lausanne Conference, the Caliphate, and the establishment of the Peoples Party. This study traces Mustafa Kemal Pashas journey through Western Anatolia step by step, analysing his speeches and addresses to evaluate the process that ultimately led to the proclamation of the Republic.

 Mustafa Kemal Paşanın Eskişehir, Bilecik, İzmit ve Bursayı kapsayan ve İzmirde noktalanan, Batı Anadolu seyahati, halk ile doğrudan temas kurduğu, böylece kamuoyu yoklaması yapabildiği ilk geniş çaplı yurt gezisiydi. Bu seyahatinde Mustafa Kemal Paşa, Millî Mücadeleden sonra ordunun durumunu teftiş etmeyi ve halkın sorunlarını bizzat kendilerinden dinleyip, sorularına doğrudan cevap vermeyi amaçlıyordu. Bu araştırma, 14 Ocak-17 Şubat 1923 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşen ve bir aydan biraz daha uzun süren seyahatin Paşanın İzmire vardığı 25 Ocak 1923 tarihine kadarki kısmını kapsamaktadır. Bu süre zarfında Mustafa Kemal Paşa, gittiği her yerde resmî erkânın yanı sıra kalabalık halk kitleleri tarafından törenlerle karşılandı. İstasyonlarda, sinema salonlarında halk ile görüştü, onları dinledi ve kendisine ülke gündemiyle ilgili sorulan sorulara uzun uzun açıklamalar yaparak cevaplar verdi. Bu seyahat esnasında Mustafa Kemal Paşanın gündeminde Lozan Konferansındaki tartışmalar, Hilafet meselesi, Halk Fırkası gibi konular bulunmaktaydı. Bu çalışmada, Mustafa Kemal Paşanın Batı Anadolu seyahati adım adım takip edilecek ve seyahat süresince konuşma ve nutukları incelenerek Cumhuriyete giden süreç değerlendirilecektir.
