Özet
Land consolidation is a powerful and effective tool in solving the fragmentation problem of
agricultural lands to form a larger, more rational and efficient land for the farmers. The benefits of
land consolidation projects are providing access to parcels, efficient use of water resources, real
location of parcels, and reducing the costs of irrigation and drainage projects. Although not
sufficiently successful, the land consolidation projects in Turkey had been initiated in 1961. This
study was aimed to measure and assess the knowledge, expectation and attitudes of farmers on the
land consolidation project planned to be implemented for some villages in Artova District of Tokat
Province, Turkey. The study was carried out in Taşpınar and Aşağı Güçlü villages which were
included in the consolidation program. In these villages, 62 farmers were selected by proportional
sampling method out of 175 producers registered in the Farmer Registration System (FRS) and,
face to face questionnaires were carried out with them. The results indicated that the producers
support the project primarily due to the convenience in irrigation and increasing the efficiency of
mechanization. Chi-square analysis revealed that the problems caused by disadvantages of
fragmented land structure, importance of land integrity and the experience on a previous
consolidation project area are important for the producers supporting the land consolidation project.
