Abstract

At, tarih boyunca önemli bir çiftlik hayvanı olmuş ve özellikle tarım, ulaşım ve askeri faaliyetlerde kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Eskişehir ili Mahmudiye ilçesindeki at işletmelerinin sosyo-ekonomik durumunu ve mevcut sorunlarını tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın materyalini, 2019 yılında Eskişehir ili Mahmudiye ilçesinde 12 at işletmesinde yüz yüze yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen veriler oluşturmaktadır. Anket çalışması sonuçlarında işletme sahiplerinin yaş ortalamasının 41.25, ortalama mesleki tecrübelerinin ise 17.67 yıl olduğu belirlenmiştir. Toplam maliyetin %49.33'ünü yem maliyetleri, %16.87’sini işçilik maliyetleri, %14.55’ini altlık maliyetleri, %8.68’ini ise doğal aşım maliyetleri oluşturmaktadır. İşletme açısından bölgede tespit edilen başlıca sorunlar; pazarlama ve yem temini (%83.33), işgücü temini (%50) ve sağlık sorunları (%41.67) olarak sıralanmaktadır. Mahmudiye ilçesi at yetiştiriciliği ve yarışları açısından halen önemli bir konumda bulunmaktadır. Turistlerin ve çocukların binicilik faaliyetlerine katılmalarının teşvik edilmesi, Türkiye'nin sosyo-kültürel değişimine, kariyer fırsatlarına, yerel nüfusun genel ekonomik çeşitliliğine ve milli gelirine büyük katkı sağlayacaktır. Bu nedenle bu çalışma ile at sevgisinin ve binicilik kültürünün yaygınlaştırılması ve atçılığın geliştirilmesi amacıyla Mahmudiye ilçesinde bir at eğitim alanının kurulmasının yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Abstract

The horse has been an significant farm animal throughout history and has been used especially in agriculture, transportation and military activities.

The material of the study consists of the data obtained as a result of face-to-face interviews in 12 horse enterprises in Mahmudiye district of Eskişehir province in 2019. In the results of the survey, it was determined that the average age of the enterprise owners was 41.25 years and their average professional experience was 17.67 years. Of the total cost, 49.33% was feed costs, 16.87% was labor costs, 14.55% was litter costs and 8.68% was natural mating costs. The main problems identified in the region for the enterprise are marketing and feed supply (83.33%), labor supply (50%) and health problems (41.67%). Mahmudiye district is still a significant breeding region for horse breeding and racing. Encouraging tourists and children to participate in equestrian sports and activities like horseback riding will have an impact on the socio-cultural growth, career opportunities, and overall economic diversity of the local population and national income of Türkiye. Therefore, with this study, it is thought that it would be useful to establish a horse training area in Mahmudiye district in order to spread the love of horses and equestrian culture and to develop equestrianism.
