An Assessment of Pasture Land Management in Turkish Land Consolidation Projects

Abstract

With the rapid population growth in Türkiye in recent years, the problem of shelter and nutrition to meet this sufficient need has emerged. Education and shelter have increased pressures on lands with high agricultural potential. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate existing agricultural lands with a planned and sustainable management approach. In recent years, serious investments have been made in various countries to protect existing agricultural lands and to provide high yields per unit area. Especially these scattered, fragmented areas (inheritance roads and transfers, sales made by feeling and division, etc.) that do not have the width to operate in terms of area are being transformed into agricultural lands collected with high yields per unit area through land consolidation. Land consolidation studies in Turkey have been increasing in recent years. Hence, the livelihood of the people, access to pasture lands, non-purposeful use of pasture lands, what is done in pasture lands, and the remaining project amounts in pasture lands for five project areas, namely Dumanlar neighborhood of Aksu district of Antalya province, Yavuzlar village of Göle district of Ardahan province, Kayaca neighborhood of Manyas district of Balıkesir province, Küplüce village of Merkez district of Kilis province and Çukurkuyu town of Bor district of Niğde province, were examined. Evaluations and suggestions were provided.
