In developing countries like South Africa processed geographic information systems (GIS) data on land suitability, is often not available for land use management. Data in this article is based on a published article "The strategically located land index support system for humans settlements land reform in South Africa" (Musakwa et al., 2017) [1]. This article utilities data from Musakwa et al. ...

In this study, a geospatial model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the infrastructural preference. The model was developed based on multi-agent genetic algorithm. The model was customized to accommodate the constraint set for the study area, namely the resource saving and environmental-friendly. The model...

Zoning strategic agricultural land for protection has become important in reducing agricultural land loss in rapidly growing areas. In this paper, a constrained CA model based on the integration of remote sensing, GIs, and cellular automata (CA) techniques was developed to overcome the limitations of the existing methods commonly used b y planners in zoning land for agricultural protection. Rem...

This research was conducted to identify the limitative factors of forage productionsuitability in order to achieve the sustainable exploitation of natural ecosystems in AliabadWatershed in Lorestan in 2013. The field measurements have been done through cutting andweighing method to estimate the forage amount, four-factor method to determine the rangecondition, trend scale to specify the orienta...

It is vital for farmers to know if their land suitable the crops that they plan grow. An increasing number of studies have used machine learning models based on use data as an efficient means mapping suitability. This approach relies assumption grow in best-suited areas, but no systematically tested this assumption. We aimed test specialty Denmark. First, we mapped suitability 41 using learning...

Highlights We developed a land suitability framework for sustainable manure utilization based on seven water quality-related environmental vulnerability factors. ArcGIS-based decision-support tools were that use readily available data the U.S. The can be adapted to any location in livestock agricultural system. In case study, 19.9% of study area was identified as potentially suitable utilizatio...
