1 decare equals 1195.99 square yard
Formula: yd² = m² × 1.19599
The decare, equal to 1,000 square meters, is primarily used in Turkey and parts of the Balkans for land measurement. Converting to square yards—a unit common in English-speaking countries—requires precision: 1 decare equals approximately 1,195.99 square yards. Understanding this conversion is essential for international property transactions and land assessment across different measurement systems.
Land valuation errors directly impact property transactions, agricultural planning, and legal documentation. With 1 decare equaling 1,195.99 square yards, a 1% conversion error on a 100-decare property means a discrepancy of approximately 11,960 square yards—potentially affecting property value assessments by thousands of dollars and creating legal complications in cross-border transactions.
Real estate professionals working across Turkey, Greece, and English-speaking markets must accurately convert land measurements for property listings, appraisals, and purchase agreements. Buyers and sellers from different regions rely on precise conversions to understand property size and fair market value. Legal documents often require measurements in both systems to ensure enforceability across jurisdictions.
Agricultural professionals managing land in Turkey and the Balkans often need to communicate with international partners, agricultural consultants, and equipment manufacturers based in English-speaking countries. Accurate land measurement conversions are critical for calculating crop yields, pesticide applications, fertilizer requirements, and irrigation planning. Surveyors must provide measurements in both systems for official documentation.

One decare equals exactly 1,195.9900 square yards. This precise conversion factor comes from the metric definition of a decare as 1,000 square meters, and the standard conversion of 1 square meter to 1.19599 square yards. For practical purposes, you can round to 1,196 square yards for quick estimates, but use the full precision (1,195.99) for legal documents, property valuations, and official transactions where accuracy is critical.
Turkey and Balkan countries adopted the metric system and its derived land measurement units (decare = 1,000 m²) during modernization efforts. English-speaking countries, particularly the United States and United Kingdom, maintain traditional imperial measurements including the square yard for historical, legal, and practical reasons. This creates the need for conversions in international property transactions. The decare's metric foundation makes it easy to convert to other metric units but requires precise calculation when converting to imperial square yards.
