“…Such a complexity requires the simultaneous use of multiple decision support tools such as remote sensing data (RS), Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). GIS is a tool capable of analysing large and complex spatial data and has been widely used in land evaluation based on various criteria [HAMERLINCK, LIESKE 2015]. Land suitability evaluation involves assessing land potency for a use using various criteria.…”

Land suitability assessment is an important stage in land use planning that guides the direction of optimal land use. The objective of this study was to select a suitable location for settlements in earthquake-prone areas using the integration of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographical Information System (GIS). In total, six maps were considered to determine a suitable location for settlements, namely topography, soil, geology, land cover/land use, a regional spatial planning pattern map, and an earthquake vulnerability map. The results showed that in medium earthquake-prone areas, the suitable land area which are available for settlement was 90.25 km 2 (46.36% of the total land area available -194.68 km 2 ). Whereas in highly earthquake-prone areas, the suitable and available land area was 528.11 km 2 (70.25% of the total land area in the high vulnerability zone -751.81 km 2 ). The research proved that AHP and GIS integration is very effective and robust for mapping land suitability in earthquake-prone areas. The results of the analysis can be used by planners to prioritize settlement development in the Sukabumi regency. The methodology developed is recommended to be applied in selecting locations for settlements in other parts of Indonesia.

“…In addition to the aforementioned methods, new spatial technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. GIS technology enables users to integrate multiple geospatial and attribute data with high precision and flexibility and hence improves land suitability evaluation (Bagherzadeh and Mansouri, 2011;Mendas and Delali 2012;Dengiz, 2013;Hamerlinck and Lieske, 2015). Furthermore, GIS facilitates spatiotemporal analysis of various crop production practices (Laingen, 2015;Flynn, 2016).…”

Land evaluation based on human, economic and physical resources is an important tool for attaining proper land use planning of various agro-ecological zones especially in arid terrestrial ecosystem condition area to ensure that land is not degraded and that it is used according to its capacity to satisfy human needs for present and future generation. The aim of this research was to assess land suitability for the production of major crops in arid terrestrial ecosystem. The study area was carried out Ayrancı district of Karaman province is about 4760 km 2 and located between 577076 m-596768 m east and 41541331 m-4174001 m north coordination. Elevation of the study area locates between 991 m and 1774 m from sea level and long term annual average precipitation and temperature are 330.8 mm and 12 o C. According to Newhall simulation model, it was determined that soil temperature regime is mesic and moisture regime is weak aridic. The land mapping units were primarily described and land characteristics and qualities were determined using 1:5.000 scaled soil maps of the study area. Land use types to be considered were described and their land requirements were determined. The land requirement of the land use types were compared with the land characteristics and land qualities of land mapping units. The results of the matching process combined with those of assessment and produced a classification showed the suitability of each land mapping unit for each relevant land use type. The agricultural suitability maps prepared revealed that only 8.4 % of the study area soils was not suitable for agricultural uses, 57.2 % of the soils was best suitable for agricultural uses. In addition, 70515.8 ha of the total study area was not suitable for horticulture cultivation whereas, 9859.1 ha was not suitable for field crop cultivation due to the unfavorable land and soil conditions. Moreover, about 35.4% of the total area was found non suitable for vegetable crops in the study area.

“…Relying on ecological processes, organic farming practices not only protect the health of soils and ecosystems (IFOAM 2008), they also enhance biodiversity in agricultural landscapes for vascular plants and birds (Freemark and In addition to the aforementioned methods, new spatial technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing as well as multicriteria decision-making methods such as an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy AHP can be used to enhance land suitability evaluation (Table 1). GIS technology enables users to integrate multiple geospatial and attribute data sts with high precision and flexibility and hence improves land suitability evaluation (Bagherzadeh and Mansouri 2011;Mendas and Delali 2012;Khahro et al 2014;Hamerlinck and Lieske 2015).

Despite the growing interest in organic farming, its practice remains limited because of its lower productivity relative to conventional farming. Land suitability evaluation for organic crops can potentially improve productivity, and thus the economic viability of organic farming. The best analytical procedures for such evaluations have not yet been fully explored. This article addresses the evaluation of land suitability of present agricultural lands for organic agriculture of rain-fed winter wheat using Duplin County, North Carolina, a location economically dependent on agriculture, as a case study. A novel land suitability evaluation procedure is developed combined with seventeen suitability criteria from five principal categories including climatic parameters, soil characteristics and qualities, soil chemistry, soil organic matter and fertility, and flood and erosion hazards by using geographic information systems (GIS), multicriteria analysis, and the square root method. Our analysis demonstrates that although 18.6 percent of agricultural lands in Duplin County are highly suitable for organic winter wheat production, a large proportion (76.8 percent) of agricultural lands are also moderately suitable. The method of suitability analysis used in this research, which allows specific consideration of soil organic matter and fertility as particularly critical factors for organic farming, can be easily exported to other locations, for similar applications.
