The second part consists of a physical inspection of the parcels 
to verify the actual size of the agricultural parcels declared and, 
depending on the aid scheme in question, the declared crop and 
its quality. The possible field visits are restricted only to those 
cases in which the CwRS categorizes the applications, 
according to specified criteria, to be doubtful or ought to be 
rejected. The objectives of the field inspection were to visit the 
problematic parcels and try to solve the occurred anomalies by 
examining the location of the parcels, measure their boundaries 
using a GPS device and check their crop type.

4. CONCLUSIONS 
The main findings in the pilot areas of Tekirdag and Agn were 
that, it is possible to implement IACS / LPIS as management 
tools in the pilot areas which are extremely different. If it is 
possible to use these tools in such different areas, then it is 
certainly also possible to implement the systems throughout 
Turkey. Since the project was the preliminary step before the 
establishment of IACS/LPIS in nationwide scale, the results and 
experience gained from the project opened the way to prepare 
the necessary technical and legislative framework for future 
implementations.
