Özet:    This study was prepared in order to determine the environment perceptions of the farmers who utilized and did not utilize from drip irrigation subsidies. For this purpose, total of 41 producers who utilized from drip irrigation subsidies between 2012-2017 years in Edirne province participated in the survey. The same survey was also carried out with the same number of producers who did not utilize from drip irrigation subsidies but had the similar characteristics with the producers who utilized from drip irrigation subsidies. During the analyzes of the data, it was utilized from descriptive statistics such as average, standard deviation and discrete data were analyzed with chi-square test and the differences between the groups were observed. Cluster analysis was used for the analysis of farmers’ environment perceptions. Ward method and K-average method were used from hierarchical and nonhierarchical cluster methods. As a result of the chi square analysis, it was determined that “pesticides and hormones damage the environment” and “I put on a mask during spraying” judgments changed according to taking subsidies and the other judgments did not change. According to the cluster analysis results, the farmers in the first, second and third clusters composed 81.71%, 1.22% and 17.07% of the population, respectively. 85.37% and 14.63% of the farmers utilizing from drip irrigation subsidies were in the first and third groups, respectively. 78.05%, 2.44% and 19.51% of the farmers not utilizing from drip irrigation subsidies were in the first, second and third groups, respectively. Consequently, the farmers should be trained on the subject of agricultural activities and the effects of these activities on the environment.
