Land suitability classification is important in planning and managing sustainable land use. Most approaches to land suitability analysis combine a large number of land and soil parameters, and are time-consuming and costly. In this study, a potentially useful technique (combined feature selection and fuzzy-AHP method) to increase the efficiency of land suitability analysis was presented. To thi...

Suitability evaluation of urban construction land based on geo-environmental factors is the process of determining the fitness of a given tract of land for construction. This process involves a consideration of the geomorphology, geology, engineering geology, geological hazards, and other geological factors and is the basis of urban construction land planning and management. With the support of...

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...

rangelands are among the natural resources which have a considerable effect on environment and man’s life. iranian rangelands mostly have poor condition and exhausted by intensive over grazing, should be utilized according to their ecological capability and land suitability. the main objective of this study is to evaluate ecological capability and land suitability of gheshlagh dam’s watershed a...

Restoration of the degraded ecosystem is a global priority for achieving sustainable development. Although increasing ecosystem service is an important goal of ecological restoration, it is rarely used to inform mine reclamation. This study proposed a reclamation strategy that incorporated land suitability analysis and ecosystem service evaluation for a mining site in Liaoning Province, China. ...

The increasing use and capability of geocomputation tools, as well as increasing availability of land resource information, offer opportunities to utilise such tools for the effective management of information for planning purposes. One among those is the development of spatially-based models that may be used for efficiently undertaking land suitability assessment based on available information...
