Özet

Properties hosting High Voltage Transmission Lines (HVTL) generally have lower values in Turkey. Therefore, owners are compensated for the easement. However, due to the inadequacy of laws and regulations, easement prices (compensation) can be calculated incorrectly. In this study, a descriptive survey was conducted to obtain ideas and information on the solution of problems encountered in determining easement prices and practices in other countries were examined. As a result of the survey, the area covered by the easement on the property and the route of the line were identified as the most important factors that negatively affect property value. It emerges that the diagonal crossing of HVTL over properties is the factor that decreases property value the most (compared to other crossing methods). Additionally, it is observed that the easement price paid to property owners varies mostly according to the per square meter value of the property and secondly according to the area of the property.
