| Abstract |
| In this study, we aimed to determine the causes for the high migration and their effects to the agriculture in Kırık County, Ispir, Erzurum. For this reason, we established the basis of the study by using the data and publications related to the regional and global migration. To determine the reasons for the regional migrations, we used the results from the survey applied to the 91 residents by using the stratified sampling method in 26 villages. For this purpose, we used Limdep software with Probit Estimation Procedure to estimate Limited Dependent Regression Model using the data from the survey. To determine the effect of migration to the agriculture, we established an analysis with tables formed by Cross tabbing. According to the result from regression model factors such as having children being educated out of the village, having social security, the number of the migrant relatives, and people living in foreign countries from the household provoked migration. The factors such as possessing more land renting more land, livestock fattening and the number of the cows owned block migration. The effect of this migration on agriculture was that the number of livestock decreased, the amount of grass and pasture land per animal increased, production of cereals was almost diminished, and the amount of the lands which can be used for forage crop farming was decreased.As it was seen in the regression results, to block migration, some precautions related to current and alternative agricultural activities should be taken. On the condition that these precautions are taken, factors affecting profitable agriculture negatively such as small and partitioned farms, weak market relationships, animal husbandry on non-productive native species, unutilized grass lands, insufficient unification cooperation among the farmers could be eliminated. |
