Özet:

 This study evaluates the measures against cholera based on the epidemics experienced in the Second Constitutional years. In the 19th century, cholera, which caused numerous deaths worldwide due to industrialization and poor urbanization, also affected the Ottoman Empire. The fear caused by cholera led to transformations in health policies and municipal services. Cholera, which also impacted the Second Constitutional Period, spread throughout the country, especially in Istanbul, between 1909 and 1913. The cholera epidemics, coupled with domestic and foreign political chaos, were frequently emphasized in the publications of the time. Periodicals, books, parliamentary debates, and state archives from the period provide much information on the epidemic. These data illuminate the nature of the disease and the struggles against it, embodying scientific, pragmatic, and popular methods of information dissemination. This article employs survey models and document analysis, utilizing literature that focuses on the local and global course of cholera, as well as archive documents, periodicals, books, and memorandums that clarify the periods conditions. The data from the press and publication life reveal that, in addition to health policies, public awareness was also significant in the fight against cholera.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, II. Meşrutiyet yıllarında yaşanan kolera salgınlarından hareketle bu hastalığa karşı alınan önlemleri ve bu önlemlerin halka yansıtılma biçimlerini analiz etmektir. XIX. yüzyıl boyunca sanayileşme ve düzensiz şehirleşmenin gölgesinde kitlesel ölümlere sebep olan kolera Osmanlı Devletinde de belirgin kırılma anları yaratmıştır. Koleranın sebep olduğu korku, sağlık politikalarından belediye hizmetlerine uzanan geniş bir ağı dönüştürmüştür. Toplumsal, ekonomik, politik kırılmalara sirayet ederek diğer salgınlarla bütünleşen hastalığın etkileri dönem yayınlarında sıklıkla işlenmiştir. Dergilerde, kitaplarda, meclis tartışmalarında, devlet arşivlerinde salgının yoğunlaştığı yıllarda daha belirgin olmak üzere koleraya odaklanan pek çok veri bulunmaktadır. Hastalığın niteliğini ve onunla nasıl mücadele edilebileceğini belirginleştiren bu veriler, bilimsel, pragmatik, popüler bilginin aktarılma biçimlerini de somutlaştırmaktadır. Tarama modeli ve doküman analizi kullanılarak yazılan bu makalede kolera hastalığının yerel ve küresel seyrine odaklanan literatür ile dönem koşullarını seslendiren arşiv belgelerinden, süreli yayınlardan, kitaplardan ve zabıt ceridelerinden yararlanılmıştır. Basın-yayın hayatından elde edilen veriler, koleranın 1909-1913 yılları arasında artan etkileri bağlamında sağlık politikalarının halkın bilinçlendirilmesine de odaklanıldığını göstermektedir.
