Aims: Antalya has a very suitable potential for greenhouse production due to its climatic structure and geographical location. However, the vast majority of this greenhouses have not statically projected. These greenhouses were installed by untrained people who are not qualified about the greenhouse more than the competent firms. In addition, these unqualified people used structurally insufficient constructions in the installation stage in the vast majority of these greenhouses. At the same time, Antalya is a region that can be seriously damaged climatically due to the fact that its geographical location. Therefore, the damage potential of those greenhouses can be is high in any natural disaster. In this study, it was aimed at the determination of greenhouses and its insurance conditions damaging from natural disasters occurred in districts of the eastern Antalya region.
Methods and Results: In this study, it was determined how the plant production structures in the districts of East Antalya are affected by the natural disasters such as hail, showers, storms, hurricanes, hoses and fire, and how they were able to withstand or affected these climatic disasters. In addition, it was determined whether the greenhouses damaged were covered by agricultural or private insurance and if they were insured, how much they benefited from this insurance. For this purpose, surveys were carried out with the greenhouse owners in the districts located in the East Antalya region. The results of the survey were evaluated with SPSS software.
Conclusions: It has been determined how the disasters occurred in which part of Antalya and how they affect the greenhouses in the area. At the end of the study, the suitable greenhouse type (size, roof type, cover type etc.) and construction sections for those regions were proposed.
Significance and Impact of the Study: It was determined that education
level, foundation, and basement status, profile type used in the
greenhouse were related to damage situations of greenhouses caused by
natural disasters
