“…A multi-criteria approach was used to identify sites that were adequate for fresh-and brackish water fish farming on the coastal plains of the Indian states of Odisha and Tamil Nadu. For this, they used large scale (1:10,000), high resolution maps of land cover and use, with thematic layering and regulations [85]. Reference [86] successfully applied a combined approach of Earth Observation (EO) and a dynamic energy budget (DEB) model for the selection of the most appropriate sites for the cultivation of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, on the coast of South Africa.…”

The present study evaluated the application of Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Induction geophysical tools combined with sedimentology for the description of the subsurface of sites destined for the installation of ponds for an extensive freshwater fish farming system. Two areas with similar topographic characteristics (flat land near bodies of water) were investigated in the Amazon region of northern Brazil: Area 1—the future site of an aquaculture research center, and Area 2—an established fish farming operation. These tools performed well in the evaluation of the suitability of the terrain for the installation of aquaculture ponds. The application of these tools can, thus, be recommended for aquaculture projects, given that it provides advanced knowledge on the characteristics of the local soils, which is extremely important to guarantee the sustainability of any aquaculture operation. These data can help minimize the environmental impacts of the process, while maximizing the economic returns to the installation of an aquaculture operation.

“…Based on suitability of settlements, this paper discusses the sustainable development and planning optimization of settlements (Liu et al, 2020;Ru no et al, 2019;Ali and Ahmad, 2020). Suitability is the basis of the development and layout of settlements (Buruso, 2018;Fabrizio et al, 2019;Anand et al, 2020;Talukdar et al, 2020), which is closely related to the sustainable development of settlements (Wang et al, 2020;Megahed, 2020;Da Costa et al, 2018).…”

“…Human settlements is the result of human activities on the natural environment (Anand et al, 2020), including natural elements and humanistic elements (Ejigu and Tassie, 2020;Milanesi et al, 2015;Buruso, 2018;Megahed, 2020;Habibie et al, 2019). Natural elements are the basis of settlements layout development, and humanistic elements are also the pillar of settlements development (Hansen et al, 2020;Talukdar et al, 2020;Da Costa et al, 2018;Torretta et al, 2020).…”

The comprehensive suitability of regional human settlements is of great significance to the development and spatial distribution of regional human settlements and regional social and economic development. In this study, based on the traditional evaluation of the natural suitability of the human settlements, this study adds humanistic indicators to comprehensively evaluate the suitability of the human settlements in Liaoning, China. In particular, we sought to uncover the spatial differentiation law of the comprehensive suitability of these settlements and its correlations with population density and GDP density, provide a theoretical basis for urban human settlements planning and governance. The main conclusions were as follows: (1) the natural suitability index in Liaoning Province presents the law of longitudinal spatial differentiation from northeast to southwest, which follows the direction of the mountains; (2) the highest to lowest humanistic suitability indexes were as follows: the central, eastern, and western regions; (3) the highest to lowest spatial differentiations of the comprehensive suitability of the human settlements were as follows: the central and coastal, eastern, and western regions;(4) the spatial distribution of population–economy density in Liaoning Province was basically consistent with the spatial distribution of the comprehensive suitability index of human settlements, The population economy is concentrated in the areas with the best and moderate human settlements. Ultimately, we found that the distributions of population–economy and human settlement suitability were relatively coordinated and that highly suitable land was already fully utilized.
