The concept of agricultural production refers to the activities that people carry out to meet their nutritional needs. Such activities have been carried out since ancient times to meet the nutritional needs of people. The process of agricultural production interacts with the land at many stages. The relationship between land and agriculture is particularly visible in regards to production. Thus, the continuity of agricultural production depends on the proper use of the land. In short, ensuring sustainability in agriculture depends on proper land use. The aim of this study is to determine the suitability of cultivated lands for agricultural purposes and to compare the obtained results with current land use in the Gulf of Edremit and its surroundings using various criteria. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHS), based on Geographic Information Systems-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) analysis, was used to identify areas suitable for agriculture. According to the findings many settlements were established in fertile regions which were determined to be very suitable for agriculture. In addition, a transition zone consists of unproductive forest land was established between the forest area and agricultural land. The findings of our study showed that cultivated agricultural areas in our study area reached their upper limits when the environmental parameters were taken into consideration in determining the level of suitability of the land . Thus, it is understood that the forest cover faces the threat of new agricultural areas being opened in line with the increasing food need. The use of agricultural areas in accordance with their potential allowed for an increase in agricultural productivity within the study area. In addition, the careful utilization of agricultural lands within the scope of eligibility levels plays a key role in preventing the damage of the forest cover which hosts many ecosystems.

农业生产的概念是指人们为满足其营养需要而进行的活动。此类活动自古以来就是为了满足人们的营养需求而开展的活动。农业生产过程在许多阶段与土地相互作用。土地和农业之间的关系在生产方面尤为明显。因此，农业生产的连续性取决于土地的合理利用。简而言之，确保农业的可持续性取决于适当的土地使用。本研究的目的是确定耕地是否适合农业用途，并使用各种标准将所得结果与埃德雷米特湾及其周边地区当前的土地利用情况进行比较。层次分析法（AHS），基于地理信息系统的多标准决策（MCDM）分析，用于确定适合农业的区域。根据调查结果，许多定居点建立在被确定为非常适合农业的肥沃地区。此外，在林区和农业用地之间建立了由非生产性林地组成的过渡区。我们的研究结果表明，当在确定土地适宜性水平时考虑环境参数时，我们研究区的耕地面积达到了上限。因此，据了解，随着粮食需求的增加，森林覆盖面临着新农业区的开放威胁。根据其潜力使用农业区域可以提高研究区域内的农业生产力。此外，在合格水平范围内谨慎利用农用地对于防止承载许多生态系统的森林覆盖物的破坏起着关键作用。
