Determination of Parcel Value Number with Detailed Method in the Land Consolidation

Aims: In this study, it was aimed to determine parcel value numbers used in land consolidation studies in more detailed.

Study Design: 14 different questions were created considering properties of the study area. Parcel value numbers of the study area were determined according to these detailed questions.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in 3 districts located in the Aksu province in Antalya in 2017.

Methodology: Generally, parcel value numbers were determined according to the parcel index. The current parcel index equation cannot perform a detailed calculation because it uses just three parameters such as soil index, productivity score and location score. However, in the new detailed equation created in this study, parcel index values were determined by using soil index and land quality index, which consisted of 14 different questions taking into account the properties of the region applied. In addition, proportions of parameters used in the current equation were revised in the new equation created. Results obtained with new detailed equation were compared with the results obtained by the institution that performs land consolidation with the current method in the region.

Results: As a result, the total parcel value numbers of the two districts were calculated higher in the new equation than the current equation. The total parcel value number in just one of the districts was determined lower in the new equation than the current equation.

Conclusion: According to results obtained in the study, the new equation can be used in the land consolidation studies instead of the current equation because the new equation has provided a much more detailed and fair land distribution.
