| Popis: | Kelkit Basin contained 15 districts within boundaries of Tokat, Amasya, Gümüşhane, Erzincan, Giresun and Sivas provinces. Grape is an important feature of economic items of the basin. Grape production especially making in named lower Kelkit Basin area districts intensively. Our study aimed to determine the appropriate fields for organic grape production in the basin and mapping the suitable areas. For this aim, land surveys were conducted, point data were collected with GPS and the 1230 point value is calculated. On the calculation of point value, Land Use Capability, land pollution situation, erosion risk groups and soil groups are used as criteria. In line with the regulation of organic farming practices, in calculating the amount of pollution in compliance with organic farming, intense agricultural activity, the impact of roads, settlements influence, water resources, the effects of soil pollution and industrial-mining areas were taken into account. By using these calculated values, maps were created in the program ArcGIS (9.3) by analysis of IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted). According to the generated maps, organic grape production areas were put forward. In the study, it was determined that organic grapes could be grown in areas bearing microclimate and in a large part of the basin. |
