The main means of reaching from one place to another has been the roads throughout history. Especially in the past, the routes of roads have been largely dependent on natural conditions. The rulers and political organizations of the country have endeavoured to ensure smooth functioning of transportation with various works including roads and the social and religious structures established alongside them. In both the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, the rulers allowed dervishes, sheikhs, great people to establish waqfs by allocating land. Thus, they have ensured safe and comfortable transportation in the most remote areas and passages by means of lodges and structures with similar functions. In this study, the transportation network of Hamid-ili and the overall transportation system are discussed with special regard to zawiyahs. The transcription text of Hamid Sancak Waqf Registers of the year 1501 was used as a reference in the study. Having determined the location of the lodges and their main settlement centres from the aforementioned reference, the transportation network was drawn considering the geomorphological conditions. Thus, it has been observed that the buildings such as lodges, zawiyahs, hankhah established in the areas where there were no inns and caravanserais and assigned to prominent people of the region with the condition of “service for incoming and outgoing passengers” constitute the hart of transportation.
