Abstract

In the last century, with the rapid increase of urbanization and industrialization, the intensive use of inputs in agricultural production, land, air and water have started to become polluted rapidly. Water pollution leads to a decrease in producers' income together with loss of productivity and quality in agricultural production. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the socio-economic characteristic and attitudes and behaviors of the farmers towards water pollution in Kahramanmaras Province. For this purpose, the research area divided in two regions which are called dirty and clean and interviewed with 236 farmers in this region. Individuals participating in this research, the incidence rate of skin disease in dirty region (18.4%) is 3.0% more than in clean region (15.4%). 87.3 % of farmers in clean region and %90 of farmers in dirty region prefer to do Good Agricultural Practices which is a form of production that is economically profitable and productive, do not harm environment, human and animal health in order to raise healthy generations and enable them to operate farmer’s business.

Özet

Son yüzyılda tarımsal üretimde yoğun girdi kullanımı, kentleşme ve sanayileşmenin hızlı bir şekilde artmasıyla toprak, hava ve su hızla kirlenmeye başlamıştır. Su kirliliği tarımsal üretimde verim ve kalite kaybı ile birlikte üretici gelirinin azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kahramanmaraş ilinde su kirliliğinin olduğu bölgede çiftçilerin sosyo-ekonomik özellikleri ve su kirliliğine karşı tutum ve davranışlarının ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla araştırma bölgesi kirli ve temiz olmak üzere iki bölüme ayrılmış ve bölgede 236 çiftçi ile görüşülmüştür. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerde cilt hastalığı görülme oranı kirli bölgede (%18.4) temiz bölgeden (%15.4) %3.0 daha fazladır. Temiz bölgede tarımsal üretim yapan çiftçilerin %87.3'ü ve kirli bölgede üretim yapanların %90.0'ı sağlıklı gelecek nesiller yetiştirebilmek ve onlara işletmelerini devredebilmek amacıyla ekonomik açıdan karlı ve verimli, çevre, insan ve hayvan sağlığına zarar vermeyen bir üretim biçimi olan İyi Tarım Uygulamalarını yapmak istemektedirler.
