Abstract
Using the approach of regional and local history, the study analyzes the dramatic political-social and cultural-demographic transformations of caused by the Ottoman expansion in the 16th century on the examople of the Lovinac region in Lika. In everything, this region shared the fate of the odther areas of Lika and Krbava that were on the border of opposing empires, thus acquiring the character of a remote Ottoman periphery and the experience of the „borderlands regime“ that would las well into the 19th century. The work is primarily based od Ottoman sources, especially the tax cadastral lists for ghe area that was part of the nahiya of Cvituša from 1574. Numerous dimensions of the discontiunuity caused by the dissolution of the proprety of the princes of Krbava (lands of Ivan Karolović) at the end of the 15th century are questioned and at the beginning of the 16th century and with the formation of the military-administrative structures of the Ottoman „serhad“ in the 16th century. Iti s analyzed how the aforementioned dynamic processes were reflected in the local Lovinac example, especially in the context of changes in settlement, populationand spatial organization. The Ottoman plans for the construction of the fortification system, colonization and fiscal policy are reviewed. It also gives an insight into the newly created confessional arrangement and the state of religious buildings.
