The problem of evaluation of agricultural land suitability is consid­ ered as a fuzzy modeling task. For assessment of land suitability, it is proposed to use fuzzy indicators. Application of individual fuzzy indicators gives oppor­ tunity for assessment of suitability of lands as degree or grade of performance when the lands are used for agricultural purposes. Using composite fuzzy indi­ cator...

The objective of this article is to apply fuzzy set and interpolation techniques for land suitability evaluation for maize in Northern Ghana. Land suitability indices were computed at point observations using the Semantic Import (SI) model, whereas spatial interpolation was carried out by block kriging. Interpolated land suitability shows a high correlation (R2 = 0.87) with observed maize yield...

using parametric approaches for qualitative assessment of land suitability is a useful method for diagnosis of land capability and potential in optimum crop production. by using such methods will hope that to achieve sustainability in based on fao land evaluation frame works and the presented tables of soil and climate requirements for agronomic crops. we studied qualitative land suitability fo...

In recent years, methods of fuzzy reasoning have been successfully developed for land evaluation. The accuracy of such land evaluation depends on the quality of weighing land characteristics with respect to their effects on crop production. This paper presents a spatially-based model of land suitability analysis. The main purposes were to (1) establish land suitability indices for irrigated whe...

Land use suitability assessment is an important fundamental work in urban-rural planning. Be restricted by technology and means, qualitative analysis methods be wider used in evaluating land use suitability in most districts of China. This method can’t impersonally and Quantitatively indicate the difference in land use suitability, and make urban-rural planning more subjectively because the inf...

A system for evaluating land suitability using fuzzy logic method has been developed. The system determining a degree of delimitation, land ratings, suitability classes, and their actual land suitability subclasses of given land characteristics. The main parts of the evaluation process, which included in the fuzzy inference engine of the knowledge based system, are fuzzification and defuzzifica...

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. ...

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...

This study aimed to analyse and evaluate the land suitability for certain fruit trees in Thuy Bang commune using GIS techniques in combination with a multi-criteria approach. At first, the databases for GIS analyses had to be developed. The data were obtained through scientific literature review, expert opinions, interviews, and professional officers. The suitability assessment in the studied a...

Geomorphology affects the potential of land. The geomorphological condition an area has implications for physical characteristics, including: 1) type; 2) material; and 3) processes formed upon it. Understanding land capability allows evaluation suitability. Classification suitability is carried out by combining results identification with requirements plant growth or existing use. Evaluation ca...
