This survey of Izmir, carried out by the professors of the International College of Izmir, is very similar to a survey performed on Istanbul in the same period and titled Constantinople To-Day or The Pathfinder Survey of Constantinople - A Survey in Oriental Social life published in 1922 and prepared by professors of the Robert College under the direction of Clarence Richard Johnson. Although a Turkish translation of this manuscript has been published in the past, its original English version is published for the first time. This study prepared by first hand witnesses of the epoch is a valuable contribution to the social history of Izmir.
İzmir'deki International College'in hocaları tarafından hazırlanan bu araştırma aynı dönemde İstanbul ile ilgili hazırlanan, 1922 yılında yayınlanan ve Türkçeye İstanbul 1920 adıyla çevrilen Constantinople To-Day or The Pathfinder Survey of Constantinople – A Survey in Oriental Social Life araştırmasına çok benzemekte. İzmir'le ilgili bu araştırmanın Türkçe çevirisi daha önce İzmir 1921 adıyla yayınlanmıştı. İngilizce özgün metin ise ilk kere yayınlanmakta. Bu inceleme birinci elden tanıklar tarafından hazırlanmış olup, İzmir'in toplumsal hayatı için değerli bir kaynak teşkil etmekte.
