This paper provides an overview of some of the land ownership consolidation programmes that have been attempted in a number of countries, and examines in more detail the present situation in Turkey. Much of the rural land in Turkey is fragmented, and the structural problems created by co-ownership of small properties will probably influence the viability of future farming in the country. This paper identifies the attitudes of co-owner farmers to the disposal of their own share to one of their heirs when that share's value is paid at the current market value of the land. Ninety farmers who owned their landholdings were interviewed. Answers to the survey questions were analysed with a logit model, and the maximum likelihood method was employed to estimate the model. The results indicate that a farmer's level of education and acceptance of the trend towards the disposal of an owned shared parcel to a third person are positively related to the likelihood that the farmer will choose to pass on the shared parcel of land to an heir. This is true provided that the share value the farmer is likely to recover is the current market value of the land.
The study was carried out with the aim of determining the tendencies to stay in agriculture by examining the socio-economic characteristics of the producers who applied to the supporting program of young farmers. In the TR-83 Region (Tokat, Amasya, Çorum, Samsun), have formed the main population the producers who applied to the Support Program (Young Farmer Project) of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock. The Method of Neyman was used in the determination of sample size. A total of 260 producers were surveyed with 120 Producers who benefit from the support of young farmers and 140 producers who cannot benefit from the support of young farmers. The data were evaluated comparatively according to the utilization status of the support. The rate of the producer, who said would migrate when the migration tendency of producers were investigated was determined as 17%. As well as producers who are saying that they should migrate to the city if they have the possibility, there are unstable producers (4%). There is about 21% migration potential among producers. The migration tendency was seen in the producers in low age groups. It is determined that the tendency to migrate is higher, farmers who high levels of education, farmers who have not non-agricultural income, farmers who think that there are difficulties in village life, farmers who believe that low standard of living, farmers who can’t make a living with the income they earn in the village, according to others.
