Item Changes in farm management and agricultural activities and their effect on farmers' satisfaction from land consolidation: The case of Bursa-Karacabey, Turkey(Routledge Journals, 2009) Yaslıoğlu, Erkan; Aslan, Şerife Tülin Akkaya; Kirmikil, Müge; Gündoğdu, Kemal; Arıcı, İsmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Tarımsal Yapılar ve Sulama Bölümü.; 0000-0001-5129-8642; 0000-0001-5129-8642; 0000-0002-3865-7863; AAH-2955-2021; AAL-5730-2020; ABE-6643-2020; ABI-4047-2020; N-9721-2013; 20437021400; 16229430800; 20436307800; 12784402000; 12784126000In Turkey, the scattered, fragmented plots in agricultural areas are one of the major problems preventing agricultural efficiency. Land consolidation is an effective tool in improving efficiency, but the success depends greatly on farmers' satisfaction and adoption. Therefore, determination of issues important to farmers can positively influence future land consolidation projects. As such, land consolidation studies must be accelerated and extended nationwide in countries where land fragmentation is common and rural development is essential. This study determined the effects of changes in farm structures and agricultural activities on satisfaction with land consolidation. Nine villages in the Bursa-Karacabey (Turkey) plain irrigation area were selected as study sites, and the logit model was used to analyse survey data including 190 respondents. Our results indicate that farmers' age (AGE), easiness in crop pattern planning (CRPT), reduction in distance between farmstead centre and plots (DFCP), reduction in time consumed in accessing the plots (TIMES) and improvement in working conditions in the fields (WORC) significantly affected the satisfaction with land consolidation. All of these factors except farmers' age (AGE) are related to consolidation of scattered, fragmented and tiny parcels into larger plots with suitable shape and size for agriculture. Consolidation also increased production and further improved working conditions.Item A multi-criteria model for land valuation in the land consolidation(Elsevier, 2020-06) Tezcan, Ahmet; Büyüktaş, Kenan; Aslan, Şerife T. A.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Biyosistem Mühendisliği.; 0000-0001-5129-8642; AAL-5730-2020; 16229430800Land consolidation is an effective technique in land management that contributes to sustainable rural development. Land valuation is one of the most important steps in land consolidation because it plays an important role in the reallocation process. Land valuation is also an important problem in Turkey as in many countries in the world. Because the lands will be reallocated at the end of the consolidation process, it is very important to determine the precise value of each parcel. However, the methods used in land valuation in many countries lag behind current techniques and technologies. For this reason, a new method for land valuation is needed. The purpose of this study was to develop a new model based on multi-criteria calculations that is suitable for today's technologies and addresses the weakness in the current land valuation methods. In a case study of Solak, Antalya, Turkey, we identified fourteen key land value factors. Those factors were assigned weights by the Land Valuation Committee, academic staff, engineers, and local landowners. The weights were then integrated into a framework called the Land Quality Index. The land quality index factors are the criteria for evaluating the geographical, physical, and socio-economic structure of the region. The scores for each factor on each parcel were determined using GIS software. The total score of fourteen factors was then converted to a 100-point scale, that comprised the Land Quality Index. The land value of each parcel was determined by adding the soil index to the Land Quality Index. In our study, we also created three different models to investigate how the parameters were apportioned during the land valuation. We found that, while the current method used by the government agency (General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works) classified the lands into five groups, our methods classified the lands into 17, 20, 24 groups, respectively. In addition, while the deduction rate was 4.97 % in the current method, they were 4.89 %, 4.86 % and 4.85 % in our new models, respectively. The method we proposed in this study determined land values more accurately, precisely, and fairly compared to current method used by General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works. It is suggested that our models could be used instead of the current method in the land consolidation works in Turkey.Item Personal, physical and socioeconomic factors affecting farmers' adoption of land consolidation(Spanish National Institute of Agricultural & Food Research & Technology, 2007-06) Aslan, Şerife Tülin Akkaya; Gündoğdu, Kemal S.; Yaslıoğlu, Erkan; Kirmikil, Müge; Arıcı, İsmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Tarımsal Yapılar ve Sulama Bölümü.; 0000-0001-5129-8642; 0000-0001-5129-8642; AAH-2955-2021; AAL-5730-2020; N-9721-2013; ABI-4047-2020; ABE-6643-2020; 16229430800; 12784402000; 20437021400; 20436307800; 12784126000Ownership of agricultural land is very fragmented in Turkey, as is the case in countries within central Europe. This prevents agricultural efficiency from reaching desired levels. Land consolidation involves redistributing land ownership so that individual farmers own fewer, larger, more compact and more contiguous land parcels. In Turkey, generally voluntary land consolidation projects are performed, while some financial limitations and political conditions prevent land consolidation reach to its desired level. For this reason, only 2.2% of the agricultural areas have been consolidated so far. Ideally, farmers adopt consolidation and are pleased by its results; this helps maintain the sustainability of the land structure formed by consolidation and accelerate acceptance of consolidation in other areas. In this study, the factors that are effective on farmers' adopting land consolidation and their contentment were investigated. For this purpose, the results of the survey carried out in the selected villages within the Bursa-Karacabey plain were assessed using a logit model. According to the results obtained from this consolidation study, the criteria farmers value are the utilization of the irrigation system, reduction of inter-farmer conflicts, shaping parcels into a form proper for mechanized agriculture, and forming parcels of large dimensions by consolidating parcels. A higher level of contentment was observed among the farmers who were provided with above mentioned factors.Item Reallocation model for land consolidation based on landowners’ requests(Elsevier, 2018-01) Arıcı, İsmet; Akkaya Aslan, Şerife Tülin; Kirmikil, Müge; Gündoğdu, Kemal Sulhi; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Biyosistem Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0001-5129-8642; AAL-5730-2020; AAH-2955-2021; ABI-4047-2020; 16229430800; 20436307800; 12784402000In a land consolidation project, preparation of the reallocation plan is a crucial and challenging stage with many factors playing a role. It is quite difficult to identify these factors and their contributions. The most important element in the allocation stage is the opinions of the landowners regarding the new location of their parcels. Projects are more successful when landowners' opinions are evaluated and considered. Current technological developments may facilitate the inclusion of the landowners' requests in the project. The land consolidation and reallocation phase is time-consuming and complex and forms the basis of the project. The biggest problem at that stage is block balancing. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the performance of a reallocation model to perform block distribution by evaluating landowners' requests. The model was tested in four villages (Baharlar, Calikoy, Hirka, and Sofular) of the Denizli province, Tavas district (Turkey) where land consolidation work had been done before. Using the model, the excess distribution rates in the blocks were reduced to between 0.03% and 2.09%. In addition, the fulfillment ratio of first requests was 80-90% using the model; while, it was only 66-83% when the work was done without the model. The most powerful part of the model is to process the data within minutes compared with weeks or months for the project engineer. Thus, the model should save time and improve results for future land consolidation projects.
