Land-Use Suitability Analysis in the United States: Historical Development and Promising Technological Achievements

Abstract: Various methods of spatial analysis are commonly used in land-use plans and site selection studies. A historical overview and discussion of contemporary developments of land-use suitability analysis are presented. The paper begins with an exploration into the early 20th century with the infancy of documented applications of the technique. The article then travels through the 20th century, documenting significant milestones. Concluding with present explorations of advanced technologies such as neural computing … Show more

“…L'analisi è stata sviluppata in ambiente GIS seguendo un approccio multicriteriale su base raster con logica fuzzy (Zadeh, 1965;Groenemans et al, 1997;Burrough e McDonnell, 1998;Eastman, 1999Eastman, , 2006Collins et al, 2001). Indagini simili condotte nel nostro Paese per valutare l'attitudine del territorio all'impianto di specie forestali sono descritte, a esempio, da De Natale (1994), Bellotti (1998), Pierangeli et al (2001), Chirici et al (2002) e Salvati et al (2007).…”

“…Broadly defined, site suitability analyses aim to identify the optimal future use of geographic space based on specific goals, requirements, preferences, population, and/or indicators (Hopkins, 1977;Collins et al, 2001). Within site-suitability analyses is the site search approach.…”

“…The number of prefecture-level cities increased from 98 in 1978 to 286 in 2013 (NBSC, 1978; and urban built-up areas have been expanding continuously at over six percent per annum since the mid-1980 s (Lu, 2011). This rapid urbanization has imposed significant pressures on the environment and the limited natural resources (Jago-on et al, 2009) and therefore, achieving sustainable development goals in China and globally by identifying and assessing land that is most suitable for urban development becomes more challenging for urban planners and decision-makers (Collins et al, 2001;Hopkins, 1977).…”
