Abstract
Markets are commercial places where producers and consumers come together, and traditional shopping is done from past to present. The center of social life in the Ottoman Empire was shaped around the mosque and the market, which was also accepted as the center of the city. Markets can generally be considered into two categories as rural and urban markets. Markets in rural settlements not only help to meet the basic needs of the residents, but also enable the producers to sell their surplus production in the market and also contribute to social cohesion. Weekly markets established in cities, on the other hand, are both an alternative to shopping places such as greengrocers, grocery stores, and markets, and complement their services. Today, Bartın public bazaar is set up in the city center on Tuesdays and Fridays and is known by the people by the name of the days it was founded. In the historical process, it is known that a market was established on Saturdays in Bartın. Evliya Çelebi stopped by Bartın in the middle of the 17th century and mentioned a market on Saturdays. Uluslu İbrahim Hamdi states in his work Atlas, written in the early 18th century, that there is a market in Bartın on Saturdays. The Public Market became traditional and started to be established as Galla Bazaar on Tuesdays and Fridays. Today, it is more commonly referred to as the Women's Market rather than the Galla Bazaar.

Özet
Pazarlar, geçmişten günümüze üreticiyle tüketicilerin bir araya geldiği, geleneksel alışverişin yapıldığı ticarî mekânlar olarak bilinir. Osmanlıda toplumsal hayatın merkezi aynı zamanda şehrin merkezi olarak da kabul edilen ve iç içe yer almış cami ile Pazar etrafında şekillenmiştir. Pazarlar genel olarak kırsal ve şehir pazarları olmak üzere iki kategoride ele alınabilir. Kırsal yerleşim yerlerindeki pazarlar, bir taraftan burada meskûn ahalinin temel ihtiyaçlarını sağlamada yardımcı olurken diğer taraftan da üreticilerin üretim fazlasını pazarda satmalarına ayrıca toplumsal kaynaşmaya da vesile olurlar. Şehirlerde kurulan haftalık pazarlar ise farklı mekânlarda yer alan manav, bakkal, market gibi alış-veriş yerlerine hem alternatif hem de bunların hizmetini tamamlayıcı bir özellik taşırlar. Bartın halk pazarı günümüzde, şehir merkezinde Salı ve Cuma günleri kurulmakta ve halk arasında kurulduğu günlerin adıyla anılmaktadır. Halk Pazarı sonradan gelenekselleşerek Salı ve Cuma günleri Galla Bazarı olarak kurulmaya başlanmıştır. Günümüzde Galla Bazarı’ndan ziyade halk arasında daha çok Kadınlar Pazarı olarak ifade edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Bartın Kadınlar Pazarı iktisat tarihi perspektifinde ele alınmış ve bu yönüyle önceki çalışmalardan farklılaşmıştır. Osmanlı’dan günümüze uzanan süreçte, yaklaşık iki asırdan beri varlığını sürdüren Bartın Kadınlar Pazarı (Galla Bazarı)’nın şehrin sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel hayatındaki yeri irdelenmiştir.
