© by PSP.Land consolidation projects involve intensive and time-consuming studies with many stages. Reallocation is one of the most demanding, slow, and attention- focused tasks. In land consolidation projects, a large amount of information is required, and there exists a strong relationship between the success of these projects and the obtained information. In recent years, land consolidation has been implemented starting in more extensive areas. Many reallocation models have been developed so far, but none has been put into practice in Turkey. The UTPTop reallocation model generates results that optimize the reallocation of blocks by evaluating participant requests. Karaamca, Cifekozti, and Yazili villages were selected as study areas in a land consolidation study in Bursa-Yenisehir (Turkey). The reallocation plan for these villages was prepared by using the UTPTop model. According to the obtained results, the balancing ratios in Karaamca, Cicekozti, and Yazili reached 99%, 99.15%, and 98.68%, respectively. As a result of the study, it was evident that the UTPTop reallocation model produced land consolidation results that considerably lightened the load of project engineers and optimized the reallocation of blocks in a short time in the redistribution process.
