The Possibility of Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Agricultural Activities in Turkey
(Natl information Documentation Cent, Acad Scientific Research & Technology, 2024) Acibuca, Veysi
I N THIS study, the perceptions and attitudes of farmers towards drone use and the variables that affect their intention to use drones in two provinces in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey were investigated. The main purpose of this study is to determine the hidden variables that may affect the intention to use unmanned aerial vehicles, which have been used in agricultural activities by some farmers in the region in the last few years and are expected to become widespread rapidly. For this purpose, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as the primary reference to predict adoption intention. A proportional sample size was used to determine the number of surveys, and the survey was conducted with 249 producers.The study was conducted between September 2022 and January 2023 in Mardin and & Scedil;anl & imath;urfa provinces located between 37 degrees 50>-41 degrees 54> east longitude and 36 degrees 40>-38 degrees 12> north latitude in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey.A structural equation model (SEM) was used for basic data analysis. As a result of the results obtained, it was determined that the perceived usefulness and perceived economic benefit had significant effects on the intention to use the drone, on the contrary, the perceived ease of use and trust attitude did not affect the intention to use. Furthermore, the possibility of reducing workload, enhancing productivity, and lowering expenses appeared to be the most significant factors influencing drone adoption intention. The results showed that spraying and fertilization activities using drones are more beneficial in terms of crop productivity and labor force reduction compared to traditional methods. As a result, it has been suggested that legal arrangements should be made to include drones in machinery and equipment support given by the state to encourage the use of drones and to expand the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in agricultural activities.
The Purposes and Attitudes of Individuals To Use Medicinal Plants in Turkey
(Univ Federal Santa Maria, 2025) Acibuca, Veysi; Bahsi, Nermin; Budak, Dilek Bostan
This study determined the use of medicinal plants as an alternative therapeutic approach in Turkey. Moreover, the study identified the specific ailments for which these plants are employed and the corresponding proportion of usage. Data was collected by face to face interview with using a structured questionnaire form in all regions of Turkey. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. According to the research findings, approximately 65.4% of participants use medicinal plants into their treatment regime, asserting their significant benefits. Furthermore, it is posited that the consumption of medicinal plants has witnessed an upsurge during the Covid-19 epidemic. The participants' attitudes towards medicinal plants are directly influenced by their level of knowledge, convenience and perceived usefulness. The study reveals that participants possess awareness of approximately 200 medicinal plants. Among the most well-known plants are garlic (Allium sativum L.), vera L.), linden (Colocasia esculenta L.), nettle (Achillea millefolium L.), and sage (Salvia officinalis L.). The most critical determinant fort he prevalence of medicinal plant consumption appears to be individuals' positive beliefs regarding their efficacy in curing diseases. Additionally, promoting knowledge about medicinal plants is deemed essential in fostering informed and conscientious consumption practices.
