while moving for conquest, the city is called with its current name is also another rumor. Past and Present Land Use The major land use in Lake Burdur and environments has been agricultural activities from past to present. Though dry farming activities have been main agricultural production until recently, irrigated farming started to dominate in the region after increasing underground irrigation. Another dominant land use is meadows. Generally sharp slopes with shallow soil situated in the north and northeast <strong>of</strong> the lake are used for meadows. There are also forest and moor lands in the surroundings <strong>of</strong> the lake. NATURAL RESOURCE USE Almost 61 percent <strong>of</strong> the working population in Burdur is employed in agriculture, livestock and forestry sectors and 98.4 percent out <strong>of</strong> them concentrate on agriculture and livestock production. Vegetative and animal product value rate per capita in Burdur, where the population is concentrated on agriculture and livestock production, is much higher than <strong>Turkey</strong> average. Agriculture The immediate surroundings <strong>of</strong> Lake Burdur are opened to agriculture. These lands are irrigated with groundwater. Main crops are cereals, grape, fruit, vegetable, almond, sugar beet, sesame, opium poppy and cannabis. Rosary production is another agricultural activity particular to the region within the boundaries <strong>of</strong> Isparta Province. The very precious rose oil is used in perfume and food industry. Rosaries are widespread in the north and northeast. There are large poplar groves in many places starting from northwestern Burdur province. The agricultural lands <strong>of</strong> Burdur are used as vineyard and orchards to grow arable crops and some parts <strong>of</strong> it are lain fallow. The fact that drip irrigation has not yet been completely adopted as the irrigation technique occurs as a serious problem in agriculture. The prevailing irrigation is in flooding method in agriculture, while only a little part <strong>of</strong> those fruit and vegetable cultivators adopted drip irrigation. Dams and boreholes drilled individually also lead to great sum <strong>of</strong> water lose. Livestock Small ruminants are grazed in the heights and the coastal plains in the surroundings <strong>of</strong> Lake Burdur. The surface area <strong>of</strong> pastures and meadows is 96.057 ha and rate is 13.61 percent. These areas are used for livestock production. Cattle population with high meat and milk production is dominant in the area. Various dairy companies purchase the milk produced in the villages. Fishery Since the lake supports no commercial fish species, there is no fishery activity. WETLAND MANAGEMENT PLAN 43
cological functioning and landscape integrity. In this context, Ministry <strong>of</strong> Environment and Forestry commissioned Ankara University Faculty <strong>of</strong> Agriculture to carry out a study as a preparatory project in 1999. Parallel to the Lake Burdur Management Plan studies by Ankara University in 1999, a Lake Burdur Management Plan studies including stakeholders, with legal sanction decisions and applicable in a changing and improving environmental understanding was completed in coordination <strong>of</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Environment Management Plan 2008-2012 was enforced after being approved by National Wetland Commission.
