Abstract

Land consolidation (LC) is of significant importance and is an application that decreases land fragmentation level and deformed parcels, which reduce agricultural production, increasing fuel consumption and labor cost in the agriculture sector. The present research focuses on parcel shapes and investigates a new index measuring complexity of parcels. The most commonly used indices (fractal dimension, shape index, form factor, areal form factor, area perimeter ratios, and the number of points) are compared with the new shape index. The new shape index is calculated with the parcel's area and minimum bounding geometry of the parcel using geographic information systems. The new approach was applied to the cadastral data consisting of different types of parcel shapes before LC in a village in Mersin, Turkey. The new shape index showed a good performance in terms of measuring shape complexity and is easily applicable. The presented method may be used to assess LC projects or to determine priority areas for LC.

Arazi Toplulaştırma Projelerinde Parsel Şekillerinin Değerlendirilmesi: Yeni Şekil İndeksi Yaklaşımı

Year 2021, Volume: 24 Issue: 5, 1059 - 1067, 31.10.2021

Abstract

Tarım sektöründe, arazi toplulaştırma çalışmaları, arazi parçalılık seviyesinin azaltılması ve şekilleri bozulmuş parsellerin yeniden düzenlenmesi açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Parsel şekillerinin düzensiz olması ve arazi parçalılığı yakıt tüketimini ve işgücü ihtiyacını arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışma parsel şekillerinin düzensizliğini ölçmek amacıyla yeni bir şekil indeksi üzerine odaklanmıştır. Parsel şekillerinin düzensizliğini ölçmek amacıyla yaygın olarak kullanılan göstergelerden şekil indeksi, şekil faktörü, alansal şekil faktörü, alan-çevre oranları ve parseli oluşturan nokta sayısı indekleri, yeni şekil indeksi ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Yeni şekil indeksi, coğrafi bilgi sistemi kullanılarak hesaplanan parsel alanı ve parseli çevreleyen en küçük dikdörtgenin alanı ile hesaplanmaktadır. Araştırmada Mersin İli’nde bulunan bir köyün arazi toplulaştırma öncesi kadastro verileri kullanılmıştır. Kolay uygulanma ve hesaplama yöntemi olan yeni şekil indeksi, parsel şekillerinin düzensizliğini ölçme açısından diğer şekil indekslerine göre daha iyi performans göstermiştir. Sonuçta, yeni şekil indeksi, arazi toplulaştırma projelerinin değerlendirmesinin yanında öncelikli proje alanlarını belirlemek amacıyla da kullanılabilir.
