Dönüm to Square Metres Converter

One dönüm is 1,000 square metres, the same as a decare. A 5-dönüm field is 5,000 m², and one hectare is 10 dönüm, or 10,000 m².

The old dönüm, defined as 40 × 40 arşın, is about 919.3 m². After the metric system was adopted the dönüm was taken as 1,000 m². If an old document says "dönüm", verify the area against the square metres on the title deed.

One hectare is 10 dönüm, or 10,000 m². Large farmland and forest areas are usually expressed in hectares.

An evlek is a local unit taken as a quarter of a dönüm, usually 250 m². Because it varies by region, official transactions always rely on the square metres in the deed.
