Soil is a vital parameter for planting design in urban green spaces especially in adverse climate conditions. In this study, the utilization of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in surveying land suitability for urban green space from measured criteria like suitability indices, including physical (i.e. clay, silt, sand, bulk density, penetration resistance), chemical (i.e. electrical conductivit...

The present research aims to apply several approaches for suitability evaluation of lands under cultivation ofalfalfa and barley in Chaharmil mechanized farming center, Ardestan town, Isfahan province, Iran. Climatic andsoil maps of the climate and soil data were provided in raster format. Land evaluation carried out using maximumlimitation, parametric and multi-criteria (Analytical Hierarchy P...

In this paper, an approach to assessing ecological suitability of crop growth was developed using GIS, through a case study of maize planting in Jilin Province, in the northeast China, in order to improve the accuracy and objectivity of the evaluation, promote the rationality of crop distribution, and increase the efficiency of the agro-resource utility. Climate and soil conditions in the regio...

Abstract. Rangelands are mainly used for grazing the livestock in Iran, it is essential to specify grazing suitability of rangelands in each region of country, so that it may improve the management policies and approaches for planning and designing current and future plans. The aim of this research was to determine the rangeland suitability for sheep grazing in the watershed of Sadegh Abad, Ker...

Land evaluation procedure given by FAO for soil site suitability for various land utilization types for rainfed agriculture has been used to assess the land suitability for khasi mandarin orange and pineapple in East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya. The database on soil and land use/land cover was generated from IRS-P6 remote sensing satellite data, soil survey and laboratory analysis of soil...

Different linguistic aggregation methods have been proposed and applied in the linguistic decision making problems. Generally, weights for experts or criteria are considered in linguistic aggregation processes. In this paper, we provide a method to discovery new forms to compute weights and new interpretations in the linguistic ordered weighted averaging operator. In linguistic decision analysi...

irrigular land use, land degradation and increasing yield per surface area unit supplicate to be inevitable optimal land utilization.so land evaluation, planning and management to be necessary to achieve a sustainabledevelopment.following this trend, microleis (mediterranean land evaluation information system)has evolved towards an agro-ecological decision support system.the goal of this study ...

Because conventional Boolean retrieval of soil survey data and logical models for assessing land suitability treat both spatial units and attribute value ranges as exactly specifiable quantities, they ignore the continuous nature of soil and landscape variation and uncertainties in measurement which can result in the misclassification of sites that just fail to match strictly defined requiremen...
