السلطة العثمانية و آليات الوقاية من الأوبئة في إيالة الجزائر : الحجر الصحي أنموذجا

Abstract EN

In the Ottoman period, Algeria experienced a breakdown in the health system, so that the health field was not a concern of the Ottoman authority in Algeria, which affected Algerian society during periods of spread of epidemics and infectious diseases, especially since the Ottoman authority did not have a clear policy in dealing with the new health conditions through the application of quarantine, which is one of the most effective ways in preventing infection.

This article deals with the mechanisms of ottoman authority in the application of quarantine in Algeria.

This article presents some aspects and examples, in a historical, analytical and descriptive approach, to highlight the historical theme of quarantine, its implications for Algerian society in the Ottoman period, and to compare the quarantine mechanisms in the Algerian administration and in the Ottoman Empire, in order to understand the nature of Ottoman authority in dealing with these conditions.
