The Turkish planning system is lack of macro-scale spatial plans at national and regional levels as well as micro-scale land use plans at local levels for rural areas, which are to be produced pursuant to the Law No. 5403 on Soil Protection and Land Use Planning. Integration of land consolidation, irrigation and crop pattern projects with agricultural and rural development projects and land use planning initiatives is another issue which has to be associated with location decisions for agro-based industrial sites and zones in ensuring economy-ecology balance and fulfilling requirements of sustainability principle in development planning. Although the General Directorate for Agricultural Reform (TRGM) initiated preliminary activities for agricultural land use planning based on certain workshops organized in 2011; however, an obvious progress could not be achieved. Beside various reasons, the required projects by the Law No. 5403 found no chance to be launched yet, since agriculture-based land use planning asks for a teamwork cooperation among certain professionals such as agricultural economists, soil scientists, physical planners, surveyors, sociologists, economists, ecologists, etc. Lack of such interdisciplinary organizations have regretfully hindered production and implementation of such projects in Turkey, even at pilot dimensions. This study focuses on initiatives geared towards macro-scale land use plans for rural areas, expected benefits from rural land use planning attempts, essentials of sustainable land use plans for rural areas and concludes with an application model proposal.
