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...
