Objectives of the Course

The contribution of agricultural land and land to the country's economy is very important. Sustainability of these contributions is necessary. Therefore, it is inevitable to construct land survey plans and land use plans for the sustainable use of these natural resources. It is essential to create databases for this. The aim of the course is to explain the methods that can be used with the requirements of land and soil information systems together with developing technologies.

Course Content

Agricultural land structure of Turkey, land uses, soil and land concepts, information systems, the importance of land information, the importance of the technology used and their land administration constitute the content of the course data types.
