USING DRONES IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS

When the world population has approached eight billion, the worldwide focus shifted to supply food for it in a sustainable way. A new grip on precision agriculture has been led. This was identified as a farm management. This emerging concept is established to observe, measure, respond the crops and their inter and intra-field variability and versatility. To gain yield in a maximum level from the limited sources of a farm, this notion can be an efficient way for farmers to reach this aim. Meantime, the outcomes in terms of crop yields, plant health and other data have to be observed constantly while having a real-time feedback. They also require an analysis to be done objectively and equitably. Drones are considerably convenient to the farmers for helping to optimize the use of inputs such as fertilizers, seed and water. They are helpful for them to react quickly and on time tothreats like weeds, pests and fungi. The farmers can also save time in treatment validation of the crop scouting, can improve the variable rate prescriptions in real time and can do an estimation about the yield to be given from a field in harvest seasons. Our environment and our food can be cleaned more and more from chemical load. The reduction of water use can be figured out more and better. Despite being a young technology, drone usage in agriculture is expected to increase significantly. Encouraging the farmers to use the drone with the aid of the government support and agricultural extension efforts, will help them to warm towards this technology and to become adherent to future technologies. In this paper, secondary data was used to show drone usage and benefits in agriculture and how it effects environment positively

TEZ11417Tez (Yüksek Lisans) -- Çukurova Üniversitesi, Adana, 2016.Kaynakça (s. 73-77) var.xiv, 79 s. : tablo ; 29 cm.Bu çalışma, Adana ili kentsel alanda yaşayan insanların sokakta çalışan çocuklar hakkındaki düşüncelerini ölçmek ve sokakta yaşayan çocuklara daha rahat bir yaşam ortamı sunabilmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, sokak çocukları hakkındaki düşünceleri tespit edebilmek amacıyla 384 rastgele seçilmiş bireyle yüzyüze anket yoluyla veriler toplanmıştır. Tarım topraklarının miras oluyla parçalanması, tarımda makineleşmenin artması, çocuklarına daha iyi eğitim imkanı sunma isteği, büyük şehirlerdeki modern ve hareketli yaşam, terör gibi nedenler insanların kırdan kente göç etmesine neden olan bazı faktörlerdir. Toplumsal bir sorun olan göçün yarattığı sorunlardan bir tanesi de sokakta çalışan çocuklardır. Sokakta çalıştırılan çocukların çalışma nedenleri, aile gelirine katkıda bulunma, para biriktirme, ailenin çocuğu çalışmaya zorlaması, kendi ihtiyacını karşılama, ailenin borcunu ödeme ve iş ve meslek öğrenme olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sokakta çalıştırılan çocuklar sorununun, yaşanan iç göç hareketi ve düzensiz kentleşme ile yakından ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Elde edilen verilere göre çalışmaya katılan bireyler sokakta çalışan çocuk sayısının artmasının en önemli nedeninin göç ve yarattığı işsizlik olduğunu vurgulamışlardır. Bireyler göçe dolaylı olarak da olsa katkıda bulunmamak için sokakta çalışan çocuklara destek olmadıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca bu çalışmanın amacı Adana ilinde kentsel alanda yaşayan bireylerin sokakta çalışan çocuklar hakkındaki düşüncelerini ortaya koymak ve toplumdaki bireylerin sokak çocukları hakkındaki negatif algısını değiştirebilmek için önerilerde bulunmaktır.This study was conducted to measure the thoughts of people living in urban area of Adana about street-working children and to provide a more comfortable living environment for street children.
