turumõõtmetele

Turumõõtmetele, also known as the Estonian system of measurement, is a traditional method of measuring land area in Estonia. It is based on the concept of "turumaa," which refers to the land that a person can cultivate and live on. The system is rooted in historical agricultural practices and has been used for centuries to determine land ownership and taxation.

The basic unit of measurement in turumõõtmetele is the "turumaa," which is equivalent to approximately 1.5 hectares. This unit is further divided into smaller units such as "turumaa" (1/4 of a turumaa), "turumaa" (1/16 of a turumaa), and "turumaa" (1/64 of a turumaa). These smaller units are used to measure smaller plots of land or to allocate land among multiple owners.

Turumõõtmetele is still used today in Estonia, particularly in rural areas where traditional agricultural practices are prevalent. It is also used in legal and administrative contexts to determine land ownership, taxation, and other land-related matters. The system is based on the principle of "maalehe," which refers to the right to use and cultivate the land.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in preserving and promoting turumõõtmetele as a unique and culturally significant aspect of Estonian heritage. Efforts are being made to document and preserve the traditional knowledge and practices associated with this system of measurement. Despite its historical roots, turumõõtmetele continues to be relevant and used in modern Estonia, reflecting the country's rich agricultural and cultural heritage.
