Selection of Suitable Sites for Small Ruminant Production Using Remote Sensing and the Geographic Information System

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable areas for small ruminant production in the Karaburun

area in Izmir province, Turkey. To this purpose, an inquiry model was first developed using remote sensing and a

geographic information system. In developing the model, legal and technical factors were taken into consideration,

and eight evaluation criteria (distance from settled areas, distance from lakes or similar water sources, distance from

protected water catchment basins, distance from wind energy generators, distance from irrigation and drainage canals,

slope, aspect-direction of slope-and land use class) and three evaluation classes in relation to these criteria (suitable,

conditionally suitable and unsuitable) were planned. Later, the model was used to test the suitability of the study area

in general and five sample farms in that area for suitability. According to all of the criteria of evaluation, 3.54% of the

42,707.15 ha study area was found to be suitable for small ruminant production, 2.78% was conditionally suitable, and

93.60% was unsuitable. As for the five sample farms in the study area, none of them was found to be suitable according

to all of the evaluation criteria. In addition, suggestions were made for the functionality and effectiveness in use of the

geography information inquiry models used in the choice of places for small ruminant production.
