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...

The ornamental and medicinal saffron with high economic value encompasses a great share of non-oil exports in Iran. As a result, identification of suitable areas for saffron cultivation in Ardabil province located in northwestern part of Iran necessitate effective planning for expanding cultivation and production of this product. Given the effect of various environmental factors on growth and y...

Climate, topography, soil and land use data which closely associated with the distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) has been collected and collated to identify the suitable areas for maize on condition of nature and using the technique of whole plastic-film Mulching on Double Ridges in China, the database of these factors have been created in the current article. The weights of these factors, cri...

Lake areas in Chinese urban fringes are under increasing pressure of urbanization. Consequently, the conflict between rapid urban sprawl and he maintenance of water bodies in such areas urgently needs to be addressed. An integrated GIS-based analysis system (IGAS) for supporting and-use management of lake areas in urban fringes was developed in this paper. The IGAS consists of modules of land-u...

Abstract: To evaluate the damage of land affected by disturbances in the course of construction. In 2011 our government abolished the regulations of land reclamation implemented in 1988 and introduced new regulations for land reclamation. The single-appropriate suitability evaluation of the new regulation has two influences: first, it offers the land oblige an opportunity that could legally pur...

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...
