Land Consolidation and Share Use of Parcels: The Case of Kesik Village
Abstract
Agricultural land in Turkiye is being fragmented in a way that makes it difficult to process the soil. The most important causes of land fragmentation are fragmentation through inheritance and transfer, as well as through sales made by shares and division. A land torn apart by share sales shows that parcels that appear to be one piece are used by dividing them by more than one person. Land consolidation studies examine the ownership status of existing parcels in the project area. Parcels that are divided into shares by the wishes of land owners are combined with land consolidation work. In this study, stock land use was examined by the data obtained from land consolidation studies conducted in Kesik village of Yeşilhisar District of Kayseri province. Before the land consolidation study, the number of parcels in the project area was 2136, while after the consolidation it was reduced to 1562 parcels. In this case, the consolidation rate is 26%. However, when the number of parcels with shares was taken as the number of parcels before the consolidation, the number of parcels increased to 3745 parcels. When the parcel number was accepted as 3745 parcels, the change in the consolidation rate and how the shareholding situation affected the land consolidation projects were examined.
