Comparison of different valuation methods in land consolidation studies

Abstract

One of the most important tools to increase productivity in rural areas is land consolidation.
Land consolidation has laid the foundations for in-field development services and sustainable
agricultural structuring while reducing agricultural costs. Valuation is one of the most
important stages of the land consolidation works carried out intensively in the world and in
Turkey. Land valuation is a large-scale land valuation process within the project area. The
valuation process of land consolidation studies in Turkey has been carried out using different
methods. These methods can be listed as the method specified in the Law No. 3083, the new
valuation method, the method specified in the Land Consolidation Regulation and the method
specified within the scope of the law amendment made on February 7, 2019. In this study, the
land consolidation project carried out in 2012 in Yuvalak village of Tefenni district of Burdur
province was selected as the sample area. Different valuation approaches in land consolidation
projects in Turkey have been applied in our sample project. As a result of the examination, it
was observed that many parcels were classified in different degree classes according to
different valuation methods
