Care system was considered as the basis of official, governmental and financial system of Ottoman Empire. The development as well as the importance of domain in Ottoman government is apparent due to the position of most of their conquests inside the European and Arabic territories, in the estates of emirs and commanders. In fact, a great deal of realm of Ottoman Empire was composed of war estate most of which were contributed to the conqueror commanders of those provinces. The term "care" (Timaar), "leadership" (Zeamat) and some other ones were utilized in the Ottoman Empire territories meaning "estate" (Ightà) or some things like that. The ottoman care system derived from saljughid domain system, like the official systems from Biglarbeigi to Sepahi, was considered as the representative of demonstrative authorities of sultan within the provinces. Due to some changes in the way of the caring of the empire states in the late phases, care system and leadership gradually lost their vigor so that in 1839 A. D and concurrent with honorable handwriting of Golkhaneh, it was completely left aside on behalf of Mahmood the second. This research is to investigate the changes of care system, its functions, and the duties of custodians towards ottoman central government and the causes of collapse of care system in Ottoman Empire by means of descriptive-analytical method as well as the library study.
