Cell-based Multicriteria Evaluation (MCE) methods are used to analyse the land suitability evaluation. Land evaluation is carried out to estimate the suitability of land for a specific use such as arable farming or irrigated agriculture. land suitability evaluation is a prerequisite for land-use planning and development (Sys 1985; Van Ranst and others 1996). It provides information on the const...

the main objective of this research was the measurement of soil characteristics, land evaluation and determination of potential yield of sugar beet in yekanat plain of marand. for doing this, firstly, yield potential of sugar beet was estimated by fao method and secondly land evaluation of different soil units for sugar beet cultivation was determined by parametric method. results showed that m...

Semester 1994, and were subsequently expanded and formatted for publication. They are not to be considered as a definitive text on land evaluation. these notes is permitted if and only if this note is included. Sale of these notes or any copy is strictly prohibited.

This paper describes a GIS-based system, EconSuit, that supports dynamic assessment of economic land suitability for major economic crops in Northern Thailand. Prior to economic land evaluation, a physical land suitability index is computed using a fuzzy set approach in GIS. The procedure bypasses crop modeling and permits suitability to be defined in a continuous scale with a graphic interface...

Land consolidation is the basis of making the land arrangement special plan, meanwhile, land consolidation sub area, ascertaining land consolidation item and setting land consolidation indices are mainly depended on land consolidation potentiality, so it is necessary to do this research. As the most important pattern of land consolidation, potential evaluation of cultivated land consolidation i...

This paper, with No.22 State Farm, Agricultural Division No.2, XPCC as the example and under support of GIS, takes cultivated land plot as the evaluation unit and chooses 13 influence factors from five aspects of nutrient of cultivation layer, physical and chemical properties of cultivation layer, soil management, climate conditions and obstacle factor to establish desert oasis cultivated land ...

Land evaluation is sensitive to the effects of annual variability in weather. A method to incorporate this variability into land evaluation systems is proposed, using the land capability system for Scotland as a case study. Land capability classes were found to be sensitive to the climate reference period from which data are taken. Individual stations rarely occupy their long-term land capabili...

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...
