Spatial Data Usage in Turkish Agriculture
Hakan Erden and Murat Aslan
Abstract Although agriculture was carried out mostly for regional needs, after the
Industrial Revolution, the function of agriculture also changed. In recent years,
agricultural activities have continued to increase productivity. These efforts have
provided good results, and Turkey has reached the same level as the developed
countries in terms of the number of products obtained per livestock and per area. In
recent years, due to the developments in the communication and transportation
sectors, competitive production has taken the place of regional production. In
terms of both input supply and marketing, a period of competition has begun.
As a result of improved conditions,
• Preparing the sustainable agricultural infrastructure for the country
• Ensuring competitive agricultural production around the world
• Calculating the supply and demand equilibrium
• Collecting data from the source instantly
• Gathering data
have been managed. Consequently, decision support systems, of which agricultural subsidies are the tool of successful implementation, have become of utmost
importance.
