Abstract
The paper correlates the state, i.e. the development and dynamics of Istrian society at the beginning of the 19th century, with the state that depicted in the materials contained in the cadastral records of the Cadastre of Francis I, as well as the characteristics of the data thus collected in relation to other land documents, and the way economy, demography and other trends in Istria and the Habsburg Monarchy were monitored. The structures and elements of the organization of society present since the Middle and Early Modern Ages and those implemented in the period immediately preceding the compilation of the Cadastre of Francis I (during the first and second Austrian administrations, and especially during the French one) are reviewed. Also, the cadastral material is evaluated – from the methodology of data collection and verification, through the processing, to the final product, i.e. estimates based on these data – and the value of cadastral data and estimates for the development of statistics and an overview of the history of Istria in the 19th century.
