Determination of agricultural and stockbreeding institutions' lands according to official criterias

Turkey can show some definite features in its development: an overall growing economy with frequent periods of economic crisis; a growing population with great differences of income and capabilities, especially between urban and rural areas and different sectors of the economy; a rich sacrification of natural resources strained by overconsumption and poor management and more so concentrated in the agricultural sector and rural areas. The recent trends of the overall economy and its overall structural features, defined themselves in strong, spesific and polarized ways, influencing the structure and evolution of the current socio-economic context. These trends are important for rural development policies as they have a major impact on rural areas. Development differences between urban and rural areas still valid as a result of modernization, industrialization and socio-economic transformation in social and economic development process of Turkey. In this time, rural areas failed to catch with the rapid development of the urban areas. Two of the basic reasons are the structural transformation of Turkish economy in favour of industry and service sectors and the migration between regions and from the rural to urban areas. As a result of long-term population growth, our country has a large young population: the age group under 15 years of age represents 31% of the population (OECD average is 20%). Considering the breakdown of rural and urban population by age groups, the 0-14 and 65+ groups have a relatively larger proportion in rural areas while the productive age groups are more concentrated in cities. (Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT)-2014) The recent trend aim of the country economy shows the high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates, exports, industrialization, urbanization, population and domestic demand. Turkey is challengeable in many of its exports, to Europe, but also increasingly to the Middle East, the Southern New Member States, Russia; it is also challengeable in the effect of tourism, and there is a great potential for the apprising of still unused natural and cultural resources, for which there is a growing demand. These trends are likely to continue in the medium term. The European Union (EU) has established a new system to candidate countries and potential candidate countries by the IPA Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006, the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA). The instrument has five components and Turkey, as a candidate country and included in add- I of the above regulation, is named to benefit from all five components. The Component V of IPA (IPA Rural Development- IPARD) supports the policy development as well as the preparation for the implementation and management of the Community's Rural Development Policy, Common Agricultural Policy and related policies. The IPARD funds are to be implemented through a single multi-annual "Rural Development Programme" covering the period 2007-2013. The IPA Rural Development Programme (IPARD Programme) of Turkey has been designed by taking into account both the priorities and needs of the Country in the pre-accession period within the context of rural development–in accordance with the priorities of the 9th Development Plan (2007-2013), Agricultural Strategy (2006-2010) and the National Rural Development Strategy and the strategic priorities of the EU's Multi-annual Indicative Planning Document (MIPD). The legal basis for the programs are the IPA Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 and the IPA Implementing Commission Regulation (EC) No 718/2007. Comparing to the Turkish land classification some differences with the EU classification of land can be noticed. A small part of brush land should be classified, according to the Commission's Decision EC/2000/115, as pastureland, though it originates from forestland that has been strongly degraded. In the Turkish context, it is classified as forest/brush, as required by the existing forest legislation. Intensive farming is practised in irrigated lands that equals to 4,9 million ha. (18% of the farming land). Semi-intensive farming corresponds to insufficient irrigated land of 762.273 ha (2,9%). Extensive farming corresponds to rainfed crops (dry farming) and equals approximately 20,9 million ha. (78,5%). Intensive livestock farming can be defined as a system with high production outputs, based in shed building breeding, with less than 50% of the animals' nutrient needs covered by grazing. On the contrary, extensive livestock farming is based on grazing of pasture to cover the maximum of the animals nutrient needs. On this basis the great majority of Turkish livestock farming is extensive. Extensive livestock farming is however not always environmentally sound. Particularly in Turkey, given the low productivity of pastureland, due to erosion, this extensive system leads to intensive use of pasture land. So all permanent pastures of approximately 21,5 million ha. with very minor exceptions, are intensively farmed. The weaknesses of the Turkish context are quite substantial and mostly related to the developing phase under way: considerable external income gap with EU countries; widening internal disparities (in terms of income and migration); large size of the informal economy; low level of education of the rural population. Rural areas and traditional agricultural activities are being challenged by modernization which with the structural changes it entails, affects them directly. Rural policies thus should address such weaknesses and aim to make rural areas viable and sustainable in the new macroeconomic context, avoiding abandonment and degradation of the environment, thus becoming economically and socially marginalised or dependent on assistance. The most important starting points of gaining the value of Eurapean Standards for aglicultural and stockbreeding institutions; constructing the buindings on suitable and conveninent locations, easy transportation to locations, planning the layout plans on usable areas to institute, make easy to build entegrate institution buildings and planning residences for people. The most effective role of Geomatics Engineering on TKDK; finding correct locations to institute agliculture and stockbreeding constructions, location works on usening and sustainability of correct parcels, defining the kind of investment and informing to investors. Today, all works with rural identifications and land informations is setting up well planned and spectacular environment on rural areas. 21. Century that which works connected to location informations is known wider and Geomatics Engineering notications spread on all sectors and that took pioneer episode on all professions. On this thesis, all spatial data and all related rules are taken and studied for finding best places to construct agricultural and stockbreeding institutions according to TKDK perspective. So, we define the utility of properties and utility rotations. Today that noticed the potential importance of rural areas and supported all plans by state administrations, on this study we aim to contribute to invest and use on rural lands.
