Land capability classification based on ecological properties of Tekirdag provinceTekirdag ilinin ekolojik kosullarina göre arazi kabiliyet siniflandirmasi

SUMMARY

The lands on the earth are classified based on their capability to be used properly to ensure their planned and appropriate use and management. This assures an optimal use of lands. The studies conducted in Turkey so far have failed to provide a land capability classification that is appropriate to the conditions in Turkey and characterizes them adequately, which has resulted in land uses inappropriate to their capabilities and certain environmental problems. The studies carried out in recent years have make it clear that land capability classification made in line with ecological conditions is more reasonable and sustainable. This study aims to perform the land capability classification of Tekirdag province based on its ecological conditions. The study used Atalay’s method, which involves a land capability classification based on ecological conditions. In addition, thematic maps at various scales, different data, and socio-economic statistics were used. It was concluded that Tekirdag is located in a geographical area which embodies all land capability classes at various rates depending on its ecological conditions. It was found out that 80.7% of the land in Tekirdag province is appropriate to agriculture, but 19.3% is not appropriate to agriculture. The main reason for this is that the city is rich in natural environment components and convenient for a wide range of socio-economic activities. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetMekânin planli ve elverisli bir biçimde kullanilmasi ve yönetilmesi için, yeryüzündeki araziler en müsait degerlendirilme imkânlarina göre kabiliyet siniflarina ayrilmistir. Böylece araziden optimum sekilde istifade edilmektedir. Türkiye’de günümüze kadar yapilmis çalismalarda, ülke kosullarina münasip ve bu kosullari yeterince karakterize eden bir arazi kabiliyet siniflandirmasi yapilamamistir. Bu durum arazilerin kabiliyetlerine uygun olmayan kullanimlarina ve beraberinde de bir takim çevre sorunlarina sebep olmustur. Son yillarda yapilan çalismalar neticesinde ekolojik kosullara uygun bir sekilde gerçeklestirilen arazi yetenek siniflandirmasinin daha makbul ve sürdürülebilir oldugu anlasilmistir. Bu çalismada Tekirdag ilinin ekolojik kosullarina göre arazi kabiliyet siniflandirmasinin yapilmasi amaçlanmistir. Çalismada ekolojik kosullara göre arazi kabiliyet siniflandirmasini esas alan Atalay yönteminden yararlanilmistir. Ayrica çesitli ölçeklerdeki farkli tematik haritalar, degisik veriler ve sosyo-ekonomik istatistikler de kullanilmistir. Sonuçta Tekirdag ilinin ekolojik kosullari bakimindan degisik oranlarda bütün arazi kabiliyet siniflarinin görüldügü kritik bir cografi konumda yer aldigi anlasilmistir. Il topraklarinin % 80,7’sinin tarima uygunluk gösterirken, % 19,3’ünün tarima uygun olmadigi tespit edilmistir. Il arazisinin hem dogal çevre özellikleri yönüyle sundugu zenginlik hem de çesitli türden sosyo-ekonomik faaliyetlerin gerçeklestirilmesine elverisli ve uygun bir karakterde olmasi, bu durumun baslica nedenidir.
