Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of the Erzurum-Beypınarı land consolidation project. In the study, primary data were obtained from agricultural enterprises through a survey and secondary data from State Hydraulic Works. The minimum number of questionnaires was determined as 20, taking into account the finite population and a 10% safety margin. Quantitative data of the consolidation project were obtained with the help of the NetCAD program. According to the results obtained from the research, the consolidation rate in the research area was 67.9%. The average parcel size, which was 13.33 decares before consolidation, increased to 28.04 decares after consolidation. The water supply and water usage rates were 55.1% and 17.4%, respectively, between 2000-2012, and these values increased to 100% and 26.8% after consolidation. The ratio of shapeless parcels was 66.8% before Beypınarı consolidation, this value decreased to 15.4% after consolidation. With the consolidation, the length of the in-field road increased 2.67 times, and the rate of parcels directly connected to the road increased from 52% to 100%. Shareholders' sharing of agricultural lands before consolidation efforts resulted in the emergence of new businesses. However, the number of active agricultural enterprises has decreased. When agricultural active enterprises are considered, it has been observed that the number of parcels per enterprise, which was 16.11, decreased to 5.16 after consolidation. The fact that the Beypınarı project area borders the Erzurum Airport and the Kars-Erzincan ring road has transformed the agricultural lands into an attraction center, but made them disposed to misuse. From the research, it was concluded that land consolidation projects are beneficial in terms of quantitative features, but the multiplier effect can be increased by investigating them socially and economically.Keywords
