It is aimed to determine the level of mechanization in the Southeastern Anatolia Region in order to make better production planning, increase productivity and create projections for the future in agricultural enterprises. Methods and Results: In this study, mechanization level indicator values (kW ha -1 , number of tractors 1000 ha -1 , ha tractor -1 , machine tractor -1 ) in the provinces of Southeastern Anatolia Region in Turkey were determined for the years 2010-2019 and the trends in the kW ha -1 value were predicted to using trend analysis for the years 2020-2030. The data were obtained from the Turkey Statistical Institute and the mechanization level indicators were calculated. Conclusions: Throughout the region by years, kW ha -1 and tractor 1000 ha -1 indicator values increased (0.70-0.99 kW ha -1 ; 17.45-24.63 tractor 1000 ha -1 ), but ha tractor -1 and machine tractor -1 values decreased (57.29-40.60 ha tractor -1 ; 5.17-5.04 machine tractor -1 ). The highest kW ha -1 value was in the province of Adıyaman (1.81-2.47 kW ha -1 ) and the lowest was in Diyarbakır province (0.60-0.74 kW ha -1 ). This indicator reached 0.70-0.99 kW ha -1 with an average increase of 3.70% in ten years throughout the region. An average increase of 2.47% was found in kW ha -1 value for the period 2020-2030 for the whole region. This indicator was 2.2% greater than the average of Turkey. kW ha -1 value for the whole region was estimated to be 1.02 in 2020, 1.16 in 2025 and 1.31 in 2030. The level of mechanization in the region has improved over the years, but this level of recovery rate was determined to be low. Significance and Impact of the Study:Comprehensive identification of the level of agricultural mechanization on a regional/provincial basis with current data will be able to contribute to agricultural development plans and ensure that the correct decisions are made for the future. In this way, agricultural enterprises will be able to make healthier production planning, select optimum tractor and machine sizes, increase productivity and create projections for the future.

Bu araştırma; arazi toplulaştırma projelerinin tarımsal mekanizasyon işletmeciliğine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla Niğde İli Misli Ovasında gerçekleştirilen Aşlama, Çarıklı, Çayırlı, Karaatlı Köyü arazi toplulaştırma (AT) projelerinde yürütülmüştür. Basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemine göre seçilen 96 işletmeye ait parsellerin AT öncesi ve sonrası Alan Yol Uzunluğu Uygunluğu (AYU), Alan Kuş Uçuşu Yol Uzunluğu Uygunluğu (KUYUU), yakıt tüketimi, parsel işleme süresi, parsel başı dönüş kaybı, yol zaman kaybı ve parsel sınır alan kaybı parametreleri hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada NetCAD programı kullanılmıştır. Seçilen işletmelerde AT öncesine göre AYU ve KUYUU değerleri sırasıyla ortalama %43 ve %37 azalmıştır. Yol uzunlukları kısaldığından yakıt tüketimi ortalama %50, toplam üretim süresi %36 azalmıştır. AT sonrası parsel sınır alan kaybı ortalama %38, parsel başı dönüş kaybı %38, parsellere ulaşımda geçen süre %50, parsel işleme süresi %5 düşmüştür. İstatistiksel olarak AT öncesi ve sonrası farklar önemli bulunmuştur (P<0.05).

In this study, LC projects of Aşlama, Çarıklı, Çayırlı and Karaatlı Village in the Misli Plain in Niğde was taken as material. According to the simple random sampling, 96 managements were selected and the pre and post LC parameters of the eligibility of area road length (AYU), the eligibility of area airline road length (KUYUU), the fuel consumption, the parcel processing time, the loss of parcel return, the loss of road time and the loss of area from parcel boundaries were calculated with the help of NetCAD program. AYU and KUYUU values of selected managements have decreased by 43% and 37% on average, respectively. Due to reducing road lengths, the fuel consumption and the total production time have decreased by 50% and by 36%, respectively. After the LC parcel boundary area losses, the end of parcel return time, the time to reach the parcels, and the parcel processing time have decreased by 38%, 38%, 50% and 5%, respectively. Differences before and after LC were statistically significant (P <0.05).
