Abstract
This paper presents the measures and decisions of the authorities in the Principality of Serbia that aimed to delineate the borders and urbanize the broader and border areas, with the goal of greater separation of the Principality of Serbia from the Ottoman Empire. The chronological framework of the paper spans from 1833 when the provisions of the Hatt-i sharif finally confirmed the border between the Ottoman Empire and the autonomous Principality of Serbia, to 1839, marking the end of the first rule of Prince Miloš. During this period, the main directions of urbanization in Serbia were determined. The paper indicates that the urbanization of Serbia's border regions involved measures directly related to border arrangements (establishment of border patrols, border crossings, customs, and quarantines) as well as measures implemented throughout the territory of the Principality (spatial organization of towns, small towns, and villages, construction and renovation of churches and monasteries). The impact of migration movements after the establishment of the border on the emergence of new settlements or repopulation of deserted settlements in the border areas of the Principality of Serbia was considered, as well as the spatial planning of border varoš/towns and varošica/small towns, and the establishment of new road routes towards the border. Spatial organization of villages, although incomplete, was successfully implemented in the northwestern and northern border regions of the Principality of Serbia
