The Effect of Geographical Factors on Agricultural Activities in Altınekin District
Abstract
Agriculture is still the most populous sector among the areas of economic activity in the world. Nearly 60% of the world's population can maintain their lives thanks to the agricultural economy. Agriculture is the most closely associated and compatible sector with nature among manufacturing activities. Agriculture, the first of economic activity, can be shaped by geographical factors. Human environmental factors are highly effective on agricultural activities as well as natural environmental factors. This study reveals the natural and human environmental factors that influence agricultural activities in the Altınekin district and examines the relationship between agricultural production and the future of these factors. Much of the data obtained in this study is based on field observations. In light of field observations and agricultural statistics, the ArcGIS10 program produced maps of the work area.
Altınekin district, which is unfavorable for climatic features and superficial water resources, is abundant in groundwater resources. With the rise of groundwater wells throughout the county, which have been dry agriculture in the past, there have been large increases in the cultivation and production of plants that require more water such as sugar beets, sunflowers, corn and carrots, and the agricultural structure of the region has completely changed. The lack of annual average rainfall and surface water resources in the county, the irrigation of much larger farmland by year, and the continued cultivation of excess water supply poses significant threats to the future of groundwater resources.
