Implementation of the land reallocation problem using NSGA-II and PESA-II algorithms: a case study in Konya/Turkey

Land consolidation is one of the essential tools to increase productivity in agricultural production. The most important, complex, and time-consuming step is land allocation among the land consolidation stages. For these reasons, it is inevitable to use computer technology to optimize this process. This study used reallocation models based on PESA-II and NSGA-II optimization algorithms to solve the reallocation problem. The methods were compared with the optimization algorithms in the literature and the conventional method obtained by the technician. The applied algorithms have achieved successful results by parcel number, average parcel size, and reallocation cost.
