Abstract: The land reallocation phase as a process has a direct influence on the success of land consolidation (LC) studies. In Turkey, land reallocation is performed according to ‘farmer preferences’ as determined by interviews with landowners. This traditional method is called the ‘interview-based method’. In land reallocation studies, parcel locations and property rights are re-arranged according to both farmer preferences and project productivity. A variety of solutions is inevitable in this re-arrangement, as the person responsible for the project and the series of criteria involved in the process differ between projects. How acceptable the solution is for landowners, and the expected benefit from an LC project, depends on the determination of an optimal solution. Genetic algorithms (GA) are widely considered to be an effective method for finding the optimum solution.
