Abstract:
Agribusiness of herbal medicine is more important in the future due to raw material pharmaceutical industry tends to usematerials naturally produced To develop herbal medicine with high quality requires the criteria of land suitability based onyield quality, which is represented by active compounds. The compounds are resulted from secondary metabolite that isrelated to environmental conditions. The purpose of this study was to generate the land suitability criteria for curry withcurcuma production base. A total of 49 curry plantation sites were sampled for plant age, productivity, and landcharacteristics, as well as soil and rhizome samples for laboratory analysis. Age-adjusted curcuma production was used as the yield response, which were plotted against land characteristics. Boundary lines confining the resultant scatter of points were then mathematically described. The boundary lines defined curcuma yields that may occur under a given set ofconditions and could be used to determine land suitability criteria. The criteria were done by using projection of lineintersection between boundary line and yield cut off. Land characteristic and curcuma yield relationships had similar pattern, the scalier data were more skewness with higher yields and the scalier confined by boundary lines. By using the lines, every land characteristics that were studied, could be determine to establish land suitability criteria for curry, except for wateravailability and aluminum saturation.

Abstract:
Land suitability evaluation has an important role in determining the environmental boundaries of sustainable land resource management. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitability of land use in rice cultivation in Magelang, Indonesia. Environmental factors such as rainfall, drainage, depth, pH, organic matter content, slopes, and erosion level are used as criteria compared to 5 alternative lands (Sawangan, Mangunsari, Tirtosari, Podosoko, and Kapuhan). The ELECTRE method as one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods chosen to solve the concept ambiguity problem in land suitability assessment. The result shows that the application of this method is quite effective for decision making so that alternatives are obtained that have the highest land use suitability compared to other alternatives for environmentally friendly rice cultivation. Finally, a decision support system with a web-based ELECTRE Method is presented to facilitate decision-makers in obtaining more accurate land suitability information.

Abstract:
<p>Evaluation of arable lands and agricultural potential to support current and future agricultural uses is one of the best agricultural policies for food security in developing countries. Hence, studies related to land suitability evaluation can lead to sustainable land use. The aims of this research were qualitative land suitability evaluation, land production potential prediction and quantitative land suitability evaluation on the basis of the FAO model for rice in Sangar region, northern Iran. Qualitative evaluation was carried out using the maximum limitation and parametric methods. Land production potential was determined by the agro-ecological zoning (AEZ) model. Land suitability classes according to maximum limitation, Storie and square root parametric methods are determined S3, S3-N1 and S2-S3, respectively. Rice radiation-thermal production potential was calculated as 7.65 t/ha; mean land production potentials, using Storie and square root formulas were predicted respectively, as 3.69 and 4.52 t/ha and mean actual yield was estimated as 2.81 t/ha. The results of this study showed that use of the square root formula is more appropriate than Storie formula as far as land production potential calculation is concerned. Soil limitations and weak management level have caused majority of land units to have moderate quantitative suitability (S2) for rice cultivation. Comparison between qualitative and quantitative suitability classes demonstrates that quantitative suitability classes are significantly increased due to crop adaptation with climate agents.</p>

Abstract:
With the degradation of the environment and the acceleration of urbanization, urban residential land has been undergoing rapid changes and has attracted great attention worldwide. Meanwhile, the quantitative evaluation of the suitability of urban residential land is essential for a better and more powerful understanding of urban residential land planning and improvement. Most urban land suitability studies rely solely on remote sensing data and GIS data to evaluate natural suitability, and few studies have focused on urban land suitability from a socioeconomic perspective. Consequently, this paper integrates remote sensing data (GaoFen-2 satellite image) and social sensing data (Tencent User Density data, Point-of-interest data and OpenStreetMap data) to establish an evaluation framework for analyzing the suitability of urban residential land in the Haidian District, Beijing, China, in which, ecological comfortability, locational livability and overall suitability were evaluated according to five attributes extracted from urban residential land via the factor analysis method. The evaluation results of this case study show that, compared with the suburban area in the northwest, the urban area tends to have lower ecological comfortability and higher locational livability. The overall suitability increases from southeast to northwest, consistent with the spatial distribution of ecological comfortability. This framework can potentially assist with the sustainable development of residential lands and urban land use planning.

Evaluation of land suitability to increase the productivity of degraded lands in the Unda watershed aims: providing a database of land suitability for land use planning in support of sustainable agricultural development, providing spatial information, and recommendations in accordance with the land use plan of inhibiting factors that exist. Identification of characteristic land quality evaluation survey carried out by the method of land with exploration area of research followed by soil sampling at some sample of land units. Land suitability classification using the criteria of the Technical Guidelines for Evaluation of Land For Agricultural Commodities of Soil Research Institute (2003) is by matching between the haracteristics of the land with the requirements of growing plants was evaluated. Types of agricultural crops that are evaluated include plantation crops and food crops hotikultura fruits. Suitability actual land (land suitability based on survey data) are mostly classified as unsuitable (N), and marginally suitable (S3). Qualities/characteristics as the land that is the main limiting factor, among others: quality of land erosion, slope, water availability, temperature, rooting media (soil texture and coarse material). Sustainable land use planning can be recommended with agroforestry, accompanied by vegetative conservation measures because it is cheaper and easier to be carried out by farmers. Recommended cultivation effort is a combination of timber plants with horticultural crops of fruits with the provisions of at least 40% must be enclosed timber. Plant timber that can be developed between the other plants that are not too heavy canopy.

Abstract:
Land suitability analysis and preparing land use maps is one of the most beneficial applications of the Geographic Information System (GIS) in planning and managing land recourses. The main objective of this study was to develop a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique integrated with the GIS to assess suitable areas for rice cultivation in Amol District, Iran. Several suitability factors including soil properties, climatic conditions, topography, and accessibility were selected based on the FAO framework and experts’ opinions. A fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (FAHP) was used to determine the weights of the various criteria. The GIS was used to overlay and generate criteria maps and a land suitability map. The study area has been classified into four categories of rice cultivation suitability (highly suitable, suitable, moderately suitable, and unsuitable). The present study has attempted to introduce and use the FAHP method to land suitability analysis and to select lands in order to be used as best as possible. Areas that are classified as highly suitable and suitable for rice cultivation constitute about 59.8% of the total area of the region. The results of the present research indicate that the FAHP is an efficient strategy to increase the accuracy of the weight of the criteria affecting the analysis of land suitability.

Abstract:
AbstractLand suitability analysis is very important to assess and propose the most suitable land-use options. The reliability of land suitability evaluation is controlled by choosing the most limiting land characteristics and their ratings for the proposed land utilization types (LUTs). This study aims at examining the possibility of using current land use and farmers' knowledge as a starting point to suggest and/or modify land evaluation criteria, and to improve the land suitability evaluation process. The potential suitability of land for five LUTs (open range, improved range, rainfed barley, drip-irrigated vegetables and drip-irrigated trees) was evaluated near Al-Mafraq in Jordan using the maximum limitation method. The results indicated variable agreement levels between potential land suitability and current land use for different LUTs. Sixteen farms were selected to represent different cases of disagreement between potential suitability and current land use and were visited to explore the farmers' improved management practices adopted to overcome land-use limitations. Using proposed criteria, only 1% of the study area was highly suitable for drip irrigation, whereas most of the area was moderately or marginally suitable for other uses. This represents the conventional land evaluation procedures, which, in most cases, overlook the farmers' knowledge and practices that are adopted in a particular area to overcome biophysical limitations. The ratings for different land characteristics were modified based on comparisons with current land use, and by referring to farmers’ adopted management practices. Using modified criteria, the highly suitable area for drip-irrigated vegetables increased by 18% and the highly suitable area for drip-irrigated trees increased by 25%. The results emphasized that the consideration of the farmer's indigenous knowledge and current land use improve the land evaluation process, which leads to better utilization of limited land resources in fragile environments.

Abstract:
A geographically-based framework for landuse suitability assessment and land capability classification in Ibulao watershed, Philippines was developed and used in this study. Landuse suitability assessment was based primarily on soil erosion, the results of which were compared with the outcome of suitability assessments based on two land classification systems in the Philippines. The Ibulao watershed was subdivided into 10-ha cells, and each cell was independently evaluated with the aid of a geographic information system called MAP. The soil erosion rates for each cell were estimated using the MUSLE. The surface runoff and peak runoff rates were simulated using an infiltration-kinematic routing model, an event-based stochastic rainfall duration model, and the CREAMS model. The land capability classification was based on erosion index representing the inherent soil erodibility of a cell computed on the basis of runoff erosivity factor, soil erodibility factor, and the slope length-gradient factor. The results of capability classification were used to identify the different alternative uses of any cell in the watershed. The framework described in this study for landuse suitability assessment and land capability classification illustrated potentials for applications to the management and allocation of land resources in the Philippines. An erosion-based landuse assessment and land capability classification appears to be a better alternative to a slope-based system as far as the following are concerned: (1) identification of landuses which would not jeopardize the long term productivity and stability of an area; (2) a more accurate and meaningful land capability description and classification; and (3) making more lands available for various alternative uses by using criteria such as soil erosion which can easily be manipulated.

With increasing food deficits and growing population, Kenya is facing strong challenges to meet the food demand of the country, as the majority of the domestic consumption of some staple food sources, such as wheat and rice, is heavily relied on food relieve. This report aims to investigate the potential in increasing food production in by evaluating the availabilities of land and water resources. A land suitability analysis is carried out in this report to identify the arability of land of Kenya for the selected crops including maize, wheat and rice. The results of the report show that there is a huge potential for intensifying the food productions of the selected crops. And a discussion of the inefficiencies in the current crop production in Kenya is also included at the end of the report.

Abstract:
Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash is often landfilled or sent abroad for stabilization because it is considered a hazardous waste. These approaches to fly ash are both costly, and highlight the need for alternative and sustainable ash recycling. Both the needs of waste recycling and preservation of natural resources can be solved by using fly ashes as a secondary construction material and as soil fertilizer.Three types of fly ashes have been investigated in the laboratory experiments. Namely municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI), refuse-derived-fuel (RDF) and biofuel fly ashes. Factors influencing changes in chemical properties and mineralogical composition of RDF fly ash exposed to environmental conditions close to those that are found in a landfill top cover were evaluated in the accelerated ageing experiment. Element availability to leaching and plant uptake in soil amended with MSWI, biofuel fly ashes and biosolids was also evaluated.RDF fly ash exposed to the conditions found in a landfill top cover (20% CO2, 65% RH, 30°C T) lead to the chemical and mineralogical transformations that resulted in reduced leaching of most of the elements studied here. Only concentrations of Cl- in the leachates were an issue, because they still exceeded the leaching limit values; nevertheless the leaching of this element in aged ash decreased by 50% compared to fresh ash.Application of pelletized MSWI fly ash with biosolids on soil resulted in elevated total concentrations of As, Cd and Pb in soil (by 29%, 100% and 300%), but dissolved concentrations of these elements in soil pore water, except the As, were low as in the range of drinking water concentrations (98/83/EC). Furthermore, the concentrations of Cd and Pb in plant biomass were negligible regardless of the type of ash used.Based on the observations, RDF fly ash is considered as a suitable material to be used in a landfill liner. Whereas MSWI and biofuel fly ashes based on element availability for plants studies, could be considered suitable for land applications. But doses to be applied on soil should be adjusted to the type of ashes used to avoid accumulation of potentially toxic elements in soil over time.

Abstract:
The demand for residential properties in Queenstown is high, but the demand is not matched by the availability of subdivided land and hence there is pressure to develop land which is less geotechnically suitable. It is therefore important that land use planners have an understanding of geological processes and conditions that impose physical constraints to development. The Wakatipu Basin lies within the Otago Schist belt. It is underlain by pelitic and psammitic greyschist with minor greenschist and mafic schists. The structure and texture of the greyschists control many of the geomorphic features in the Basin, the most notable being the extensive foliation-controlled slope failures. Glacigenic deposits dating from the Waimean and Otiran Glaciations are preserved in parts of the Basin. Post-glacial geology is dominated by lacustrine and fluvio-deltaic sediments deposited when Lake Wakatipu was more extensive and at a higher level than it is at present. Foundation materials in the Queenstown urban area consist mainly of greyschist bedrock, Otiranaged tills, and fan-delta complexes, with minor deposits of beach gravels, lacustrine silts and sands, and alluvial gravels. An engineering geological investigation was undertaken to determine the nature and distribution of the geological material in the Wakatipu Basin. The Basin was mapped at a scale of 1:25,000, and the urban area of Queenstown was mapped in more detail at 1:10,000. The maps produced show bedrock and surficial geology, and geomorphology, and as such they are a guide to expected foundation conditions in the area. Limited laboratory testing was undertaken to determine the grainsize distributions of various surficial deposits. On the basis of the engineering geological investigation, seven geological conditions and processes affecting or potentially affecting the area have been identified. They are stream bank and lake shore erosion, debris deposition, slope movement, weak foundation materials (silts, cohesionless gravels, schist crush zones), topography, flooding, and seismicity. The identification and evaluation of the physical constraints forms the basis for the compilation of a Development Suitability Map for the Queenstown urban area (1:10,000). By showing the type of constraint present, and the degree of geotechnical limitation it places on development in that area, the map effectively subdivides the map into parcels delineating areas that are more, or less, suitable for residential development.

Abstract:
The conflict between residential land and agriculture land in China is increasingly sharpened, especially when some urban development began to sprawl to the suburban and rural areas. In order to plan land resources properly, land suitability assessment is often conducted to determine which type of land use is most appropriate for a particular location.

The main objective of this study is to examine how land suitability assessment methods could be used in land planning processes in the Dianchi Drainage Area (DDA) in Southwest China to identify where future residential development should be located. The 1991 Toronto Waterfront Plan and the more recent 2005 Ontario Greenbelt Plan are examined and used to develop a framework which describes the potential for land suitability assessment in the DDA. Data limitations did not permit a suitability analysis to be completed for the DDA, however a description of methodologies for conducting residential land suitability analysis and required data are presented based on a review of relevant literature. The paper concludes with a discussion of the feasibility of land suitability in the DDA and other areas in China and also suggests opportunities for future research.

Abstract:
Kathmandu ist ein stark landwirtschaftlich genutztes Tal in der Gebirgsregion Zentral-Nepals. Einst für seine ertragreiche Landwirtschaft berühmt, sind die Erträge in den letzten Jahren aufgrund ungezügelter Verstädterung und hohem Bevölkerungswachstum immer mehr gefährdet. Eine Evaluation des Kathmandu-Tals nach entscheidungstheoretischen Ansätzen im Hinblick auf den Gemüseanbau erscheint unter dem Aspekt einer nachhaltigen Landnutzung und einer erhöhten Gemüseproduktion notwendig. Es ist ein entscheidender Ansatz dieser Arbeit, die verfügbare Anbauflächen im Kathmandu-Tal in verschiedene Eignungsklassen für den Gemüseanbau zu klassifizieren. Informationen über Zustand und Wert der Anbauflächen wurden aus verschiedensten möglichen Quellen zusammengestellt. Grundsätzliche räumliche und nicht-räumliche Daten wurden einerseits mit Hilfe primärer als auch sekundärer Quellen erfasst. Für den Entscheidungsfindungsprozess wurde sowohl ein ”bottom-up”als auch ein “top-down” Ansatz v erfolgt. Die Methode folgte den Vorgaben der FAO (1976) und den nachfolgenden Fassungen mit einer spezifischen Anpassung an das Untersuchungsgebiet. Der analytische Teil beginnt mit der Entwicklung eines Landesinformationssystems (LIS). Die Evaluation der Beschaffenheit wurde in zwei Phasen durchgeführt, namentlich 1) einer Betrachtung der Bodenfruchtbarkeit 2) einer Evaluation der Sozio-ökonomischen Infrastruktur. Gegenwärtig ist keine Region im hohen Maße fruchtbar (S1) und 31 % bzw. 66 % von insgesamt 23.519 ha fallen in die Kategorien S2 respektive S3. 1.33 % sind nicht nutzbar. Eine potenzielle hohe Bodenfruchtbarkeit kann dann erreicht werden, wenn der derzeitige Bodenzustand durch geeignete Managementmaßnahmen verbessert werden kann. Unter diesem Gesichtspunkt konnten 17.3%, 38.6% bzw. 42.6% des Gebiets mit Hilfe geostatistischer Analysen potenziell den Bodenklassen S1, S2 und S3 zugeordnet werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Analyse wurden weiterhin mit den Ergebnissen ein er sozio-ökonomischen Evaulation kombiniert. Die Umweltbedingungen, sozialen Parameter und ökonomischen Indikatoren beschreiben die Hauptkriterien der Untersuchung und werden in 15 Unter-Kriterien zur Evaluation der 85 LMU im Untersuchungsgebiet unterteilt. Für eine Einschätzung der Gewichtung der Unter-Kriterien wurde ein paarweiser Vergleich mittels eines AHP-Prozesses ausgearbeitet. Als Endergebnis wurden dann thematische Karten des Kathmandu-Tals erstellt. Die endgültigen Ergebnisse dieser Analyse zeigt, dass 90% des Anbaugebietes im Kathmandu-Tal gut für den Gemüseanbau geeignet sein können und damit etwa mehr als 70% des Bedarfs im Kathmandu-Tal decken kann. Abschließend lässt sich sagen, dass die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit nicht nur den Bauern der Region vermittelt werden sollten, damit sie das Potenzial ihres Landes bestmöglich ausnutzen können, sie sollten außerdem ein Werkzeug für Landschaftsplaner für eine bessere Planung der Landnutzung darstellen.
Kathmandu is a valley situated in hilly area of central Nepal which is famous for agricultural business but in recent years vegetable production is jeopardized due to rampant urbanization and high population growth. For sustainable land use and better condition of vegetable production in Kathmandu, multi-criteria land suitability evaluation is felt necessary. The research objective is set as to classify available agricultural land area of Kathmandu valley into the order of different suitable classes for vegetable crop cultivation. Field level information has been gathered. Spatial and non spatial data were obtained through primary as well as secondary sources. Both bottom-up and Top-down approach for decision making process were applied. Methodology follows the guidelines prepared by FAO (1976) and later version with site specific modification. Analytical part begins with development of Land information System (LIS). Suitability evaluation was carried out in two different pha ses, namely 1) Physical land suitability evaluation and 2) Socio-economic-infrastructural land evaluation. Currently no land units are highly suitable (S1) and 31 and 66 percent area of 23519ha are falls under S2 and S3 category respectively. 1.33 percent land is unsuitable. If land condition is improved and updated from current physical suitability with appropriate management input, potential land suitability will be achieved. So after appropriate management, 17.3, 38.6 and 42.6 percent area computed under potentiality suitability class of S1, S2 and S3 respectively. This result of physical land suitability is combined for the socioeconomic land suitability evaluation. Environmental condition, social parameters and economic indicators were main criteria of study which were fragmented further into 15 sub criteria for evaluation within 85 LMU of study area. Pair-wise comparison using AHP process was carried out for importance judgment of the sub-criteria. The total out put is portrayed in the thematic maps. Final result of the multi-criteria land suitability evaluation show that more than 90 percent land area in Kathmandu can hold good vegetable cultivation. Together they can meet little above 70 percent demand of the Kathmandu valley. So, the result of this study hast to communicate to farmers to make full use of land potential also to land planners for better land use planning.

Abstract:

Economic development has become a key issue in the United States. The recruitment and retention of public and private development is a pivotal strategy for increasing the economic prosperity of a region or nation as well as its inhabitants. While all segments of the nation benefit from economic development, the importance of this issue is paramount to the rural areas where income, living conditions, and educational levels may not mirror those of their urban counter part. As a result, rural regions are particularly interested in attracting both public and private investments to improve their economy, increase their tax base, and increase the standard of living for those residents living in a given region.

This project utilizes GIS siting analysis models to explore potential areas for economic development in the rural area of Fulton County. In this project, ten variables were analyzed to determine suitable sites for economic development based on physical variables, transportation variables, and public utility infrastructure variables. These variables were selected based on a review of relevant literature based on economic development in rural areas. Site suitability maps were developed using a multi-criteria decision making model and weighting each variable with respect to cost incurred to the taxpaying public. The final map displays multiple areas of high suitability for light industrial development based on an analysis of these factors as they relate to Fulton County.

Abstract:
Maize productivity in Indonesia was still low (5.241 tons/ha) compared to the average of the ten largest maize producing countries in the world (6.179 tons/ha). The potential for maize on the island of Madura is approximately 360,000 hectares. The potential for maize cultivation in Madura continues to decrease in land quality due to improper land clearing and land-use change. The purpose of this research was to make a map of land suitability for maize using Remote Sensing Data and Geographic Information System (GIS). The land suitability method for maize plants used satellite imagery as a data source, supported by fieldwork and secondary data. Data analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results of the analysis of land suitability modeling based on agroecosystem potential found that most of the Madura area was suitable for maize cultivation. Madura island had a land area of 456,622.3ha for maize cultivation, where 170.379.5 (15.4%) was very appropriate, 211.412.3 ha (46.3%) was appropriate, 160,098.6 (35.1%) was less appropriate, and 14,732.0 ha (3.2%) was not appropriate.
