On a land suitability assessment map that is derived from an overlay of n parent maps, each bearing k land capability categories, how many permutations of land suitability scores can there be when the scores are calculated by the commonly used rating and weighting method? In this paper, we estimate that this number is between k n(n−1) 2 and kn+1!/(kn!kn−1! · · · k!)k−1.

State wide variant topographic features in North Carolina attract the hydro-climatologist. There is none modeling study found that predict future Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) change for whole North Carolina. In this study, satellite-derived land cover maps of year 1992, 2001 and 2006 of North Carolina were integrated within the framework of the Markov-Cellular Automata (Markov-CA) model which com...

Land-use planners oftenmake complex decisions within a short period of time when they must take into account sustainable development and economic competitiveness. A set of land-use suitability maps would be very useful in this respect. Ideally, these maps should incorporatecomplexcriteria integrating several stakeholders’ points of view. To illustrate the feasibility of this approach, a land su...

Land suitability is the ability of a land for certain uses. The purpose this study was to soil salinity and potential cultivation food crops (cassava sweet potato) from two different locations in Yoom II Village, North Manokwari District. research method used observation with survey techniques. Parameters observed were physical properties (texture, structure, color, surface rock, effective dept...

With current new urban developments, no balance can be found between green spaces and open areas present within urban networks and natural land patterns since urban networks are dominating ecological networks. Accordingly, one of the major tasks of urban and regional planners is the optimal land use allocation to urban green spaces. Therefore, to achieve this goal in this research, locations of...

the traditional fuzzy operators, such as t-norms, t-conorms and averaging operators have been used for soil suitability evaluation to aggregate criteria as an overall suitability index. however, such operators do not account for the degree of compensation common to human aggregation criteria, especially in the presence of conflicting criteria. fuzzy integrals are powerful and flexible aggregati...

Kemenyan (Styrax sp.) is a latex-producing plant in North Sumatra Province that needs to be developed maintain its sustainability. At this time, Styrax sp. began planted together with other crops. This study aims determine the characteristics of growing land from aspects soil physics, chemistry, biology, climate and rainfall. Secondly, evaluate map suitability Humbang Hasundutan Regency. uses s...
