The Effect of Activities intended for Obtaining Geothermal Energy on Agricultural Production Systems

Abstract

It can be stated that geothermal energy provides an important input and raw material contribution to many sub-sectors, especially electricity generation and agricultural production systems. On the other hand, it is argued that in the production activities of this energy, possible damage to the environment causes undesirable effects such as agricultural production, human and animal health, and deterioration of the natural ecosystem. In this study, the possible effects of geothermal energy production activities on agricultural production systems in Aydın and Manisa provinces, where Türkiye's important geothermal production areas are located, are tried to be determined. For this purpose, the attitudes and thoughts of the farmers are taken as the basis. In the provinces of Aydın and Manisa, a survey is conducted with a sample of 200 farmers, 100 of whom were each. In choosing the farmers to be interviewed, it is considered that they continued their agricultural activities in lands relatively close to these facilities. Descriptive statistics such as arithmetic mean and percentage ratios are mainly used in determining and interpreting research results. In addition, since the data did not show normal distribution, Mann Whitney U test is used to determine the difference between Aydın and Manisa regions in some parameters. According to the results of the study, it is defined that there are significant yield and quality losses in agricultural products, especially in fig and vineyards, grown on lands close to geothermal energy production activities. For this reason, it is recommended that activities in geothermal energy production areas be carried out with more environment-nature-live-friendly approaches, and effective and purposeful auto-control systems are recommended.
