TR22 Güney Marmara Bölgesindeki Süt Sığırı İşletmelerinde Yeniliklerin Benimsenmesini Etkileyen Faktörler

Öz

Bu çalışmada; Türkiye'nin TR22 Güney Marmara Bölgesindeki Balıkesir ve Çanakkale illerindeki süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde, yeniliklerin benimsenmesini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Veriler, tabakalı tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile 221 süt sığırcılığı işletmesinden toplanmıştır. Çalışma Mart ve Kasım 2019 arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma verilerini değerlendirmek için sıralı probit model kullanılmıştır. Çiftçilerin yaşı, hane halkı büyüklüğü, çiftçilerin süt sığırcılığı deneyimi, hane halkı geliri, süt sığırı sayısı, internet kullanım sıklığı, diğer çiftçilerle görüşme sıklığı ve tarımsal yayım personeli ile iletişim sıklığı değişkenlerinin, çiftçilerin yenilikleri benimsemesi üzerinde olumlu etkisinin olduğunu ortaya koymuştur; oysa çiftçilerin veterinerler ile iletişim sıklığı olumsuz şekilde etkilemiştir. Sonuç olarak; süt sığırcılığı faaliyetinde çiftçilerin yenilikleri benimsemesi, hayvancılık faaliyeti ile ilgili yeniliklere açık olan ve yenilikleri benimsemenin önemi ve gerekliliği hakkında bilgi sahibi olan çiftçilerle artırılabilir.

Factors Affecting the Adoption of Innovations in Dairy Cattle Farms in TR22 South Marmara Region of Turkey

Abstract

The present study was aimed to define the factors affecting the adoption of innovations in dairy cattle farms in Balıkesir and Çanakkale provinces in TR22 South Marmara Region, Turkey. The data were collected from 221 farms by a stratified random sampling method. The study was performed between March and November 2019. This study was used the ordered probit model to evaluate the data. The results revealed that the age of the farmers, household size, dairy cattle experience, household income, the number of dairy cattle, frequency of the internet use, meeting frequency with other farmers and contact frequency with agricultural extension personnel had a positive impact on farmers' adoption of innovations; whereas farmers' contact frequency with veterinaries had a negative impact. As a result, farmers' adoption of innovations in dairy farming activity can be increased with farmers who are open to innovations regarding animal husbandry and knowledgeable about the importance and the necessity of innovations adoption
