The concept of “threshold synthesis” should be taken into account in land planning in the cities of Biga and Bandırma. It is thought that a healthier settlement understanding will be realized if land models showing the future status of the region's lands are made. Misuse of agricultural lands in Biga and Bandırma districts should be prevented.
