Journal Title: International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Land consolidation projects have serves for rural development. Land consolidation projects have an important role in ensuring agricultural development. Therefore, the number of land consolidation applications is increased in Turkey in recent years. It is necessary to prevent land fragmentation for ensuring the sustainability of these projects. The aim of this study is to examine the changing in agricultural parcels of landowner after the land consolidation projects. In this paper, study area is chosen Ağalar/KONYA village where land consolidation implemented in 2003. 2010 and 2015 google earth images of study area are digitized in Netcad software. The digitized cadastral sheets of Ağalar/KONYA village which is done land consolidation project is overlayed with digitized data of 2010 and 2015 google earth images to evaluate changes in agricultural parcels. In additionally, questionnaire was done with landowners for their opinions about land consolidation project. According to the results, 60 % of the landowner is satisfied with land consolidation project. While the number of parcels was 762 in 2003, the number of parcels was found 729 in 2010 and 723 in 2015.
