RESUMO

Abstract This research analyzed the potential impacts of the establishment of Food Specialized Organized Industrial Zones on the region and its neighborhood. The villages of Kocakaymaz and Goncaaydin in Kandıra district of Kocaeli province were included in the research, and the data obtained from 131 farmers through survey was used. In line with the data, the farmers were grouped as the farmers whose land in Kandira Food Specialized Organized Industrial Zone (FSOIZ) was expropriated (directly affected) and the farmers whose land in Kandira FSOIZ was not expropriated (indirectly affected), and then they were evaluated. For this purpose, both the socio-economic characteristics of the farmers included in the research and their opinions and expectations about the probable impacts of the establishment of Kandira FSOIZ on farmers’ income, product pattern, raw material procurement, product marketing, employment and neighborhood were presented. The obtained results showed that, of the farmers, 71.76% were planning to engage in livestock production to meet the raw material needs of the FSOIZ and 90.07% desired their family members to work in Kandira FSOIZ (desirable and very desirable), which may prevent the young population in the establishments from leaving their village and have a positive impact on agricultural employment.
