Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal the agricultural and social change trends in families living in Akyazı, Sandıklı, Kuyucak, Demirkapı, Büyükdere and Alagöz villages of Kızıltepe district of Mardin province and engaged in agricultural activities. For this purpose, intergenerational analysis was made by interviewing three generations in the same family and the generations were compared statistically. The main material of the research was the primary data obtained from these generations through individual interviews, and a total of 421 people from 100 households were interviewed. When the intergenerational differences in the research area are evaluated, it has been determined that there are significant changes in both demographic and agricultural structure from the first generation to the third generation. Especially in the context of agricultural structure, the increase in the average farmer age and the tendency of the third generation to leave agriculture and the changing product pattern depending on irrigated agriculture in the research area were determined as the most important findings of this research. The most important suggestion that can be made as a result of the findings obtained is the implementation of socio-economic and agricultural policies that can keep the third generation in rural areas. These policies should be related to in situ development, prevention of migration, protection of agricultural land and agricultural sustainability.
