Abstract
Diversity in the natural and humankind-related properties of Beypazar District whose major part takes place in the Upper Sakarya Region of the Central Anatolia Region and a smaller part in the Western Black Sea area of the Black Sea Region has significant effects on how the natural land is being used. The natural features of the district, contains elements of both the Black Sea region and Central Anatolia region. The natural conditions of Beypazari district, in particular geomorphologic structure, have a major impact on land use. Large part of the study area is dominated by erosional surfaces. In the northern areas, where agricultural land is rather fewer, the importance of agriculture leaves its place to forestry and livestock farming in the livelihoods. However, in central and southern parts of county reduction of the elevation in the erosional surfaces allows agricultural activities. In these areas generally dry farming carried out. In the valley floors in the district, especially around valley of Kirmir, vegetable is cultivated significantly.
