Abstract

Geography formed an important part of the scientific knowledge which Britain needed during the time when its interest in Central Asia was starting to increase. The technical innovations developed accordingly were implemented in the field, and cartography activities intensified. With the alternation of the domestic political dynamics and economic policies, George Hayward’s journey to Eastern Turkestan in 1868 with the intent of a geographical expedition has a special importance in this context. This adventurer employed on a salary by the Royal Geographical Society is their only move to capitalize on the relation between geography and politics. This journey is the result of a decision-making mechanism merging the British administrative, military and academic authorities under the same political direction. Consequently, Hayward’s geographical expedition served their financial and political.

Özet

İngiltere’nin Orta Asya’ya olan ilgisinin artmaya başladığı dönemde ihtiyaç duyduğu bilimsel bilgi birikiminin önemli bir ayağını coğrafya oluşturmuştur. Bu doğrultuda geliştirilen teknik yenilikler, sahada uygulanmaya başlanmış ve haritalama faaliyetleri yoğunlaşmıştır. İç siyasi dinamiklerin ve ekonomik politikaların değişmesiyle 1868’de Doğu Türkistan’a coğrafi keşifler için gönderilen George Hayward’ın yolculuğu bu çerçevede özel bir öneme sahiptir. Kraliyet Coğrafya Topluluğu’nun, maaş karşılığı görevlendirdiği bu maceraperest, topluluğun siyaset-coğrafya ilişkisinin sahada karşılığını almak için giriştiği tek hamledir. Bu hamle, aynı politik doğrultuda birleşen İngiliz idari, askeri ve akademik karar alma mekanizmalarının planıdır. Bu doğrultuda Hayward, gerçekleştirdiği coğrafi keşif gezisiyle iktisadi ve siyasi çıkarlara da hizmet etmiştir.
