Social Network Analysis

Analyzing relationships between ordinary people in medieval Anatolia

Relationship Networks and Social Connections

Moreover, using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method, the interesting relationship networks that these 'ordinary' people established with the leading figures of the period and among themselves have been visualized, making it easier to understand the networks between different classification categories.

Thanks to this analysis method, social, cultural and economic connections that are generally overlooked in traditional historiography have been revealed and the complex structure of Medieval Anatolian society has been made more understandable.
