I’m analyzing the growth strategy for an industrial park near these coordinates: 39.86970, 32.41911. The park is expanding and faces two main options:
-
Expand into mountainous terrain These areas are government-owned, which may reduce land acquisition costs. However, the cost of excavation and making the terrain usable is likely to be very high.
-
Expand into adjacent flatlands These are privately owned by local investors, with land prices ranging from $15 to $25 per square meter.
Available Resources:
- Satellite imagery: Google Earth can be used to view past development and terrain.
- Industrial park zoning plan: View map
- Parcel map viewer: parselsorgu.tkgm.gov.tr (Use the gear icon to toggle map views and the “i” tool to get parcel data.)
Question: Given the options, which expansion strategy makes more sense — modifying the government-owned mountainous terrain, or negotiating with private landowners for the flat areas?
I’d appreciate insights on economic feasibility, environmental impact, and long-term planning implications.
