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.

Electre Method

Land conversion to organic agriculture is the answer to land degradation problems that interfere with land resources sustainability. An evaluation of land-use suitability is crucial to measure the appropriateness of land for agricultural cultivation. Specifically, organic rice cultivation has some particular standard criteria such as temperature, rainfall, soil depth, pH, c-organic, slope, erosion level, a transition period that influence ranking results, and land suitability classes. Eight organic farmlands were used as alternatives, namely Sawangan, Mangunsari, Tirtosari, Podosoko, Butuh, Krogowanan, Kapuhan, and Jati. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process is used to determine the level of importance of the criteria based on weight assessments by three agricultural experts. The ELECTRE method is applied to rank the most suitable land from several alternatives for organic rice cultivation. The combination of these two multi-criteria decision-making methods complements each other to solve problems in land suitability evaluation. A web-based decision support system (DSS) was created to accelerate data processing integration and present factual information from the land suitability selection process. The implementation of DSS with fuzzy-AHP ELECTRE for evaluating land-use suitability in organic rice cultivation provided the best score for Tirtosari with Ekl=4 and spearman rank correlation the system comparison results with actual data rs=0.95. This study's results indicate that integrating the web with fuzzy-AHP ELECTRE is quite effectively applied for decision-making in organic farming.

User Friendly

Agricultural land use planning should always be guided by a reliable tool to ensure effective decision making in the allocation of land use and activities. The primary aim of this study is to develop a user friendly system on a spatial basis for agricultural land suitability evaluation of four groups of agriculture commodities, including food crops, horticultural crops, perennial (plantation) crops, grazing, and tambak (fish ponds) to guide land use planning. The procedure used is as follows: (i) conducting soil survey based on generated land mapping units; (ii) developing soil database in GIS; and (iii) designing a user friendly system. The data bases of the study were derived from satellite imagery, digital topographic map, soil characteristics at reconnaissance scale, as well as climate data. Land suitability evaluation in this study uses the FAO method. The study produces a spatial based decision support tool called SUFIG-Wilkom that can give decision makers sets of information interactively for land use allocation purposes.This user friendly system is also amenable to various operations in a vector GIS, so that the system may accommodate possible additional assessment of other land use types.

Land Suitability Evaluation

This study was aimed at optimizing the weighted linear combination method (WLC) for agricultural land suitability evaluation (ALSE) through indicator selection, weight determination, and classification of overall suitability scores in Handan, China. Handan is a representative research area with distinct agricultural advantages and regional differences in land use, where the expansion of construction land has led to a rapid decrease of agricultural land in recent years. Natural factors (topography, climate, soil conditions, and vegetation cover) and socioeconomic factors (land use and spatial accessibility) were selected to establish a more comprehensive evaluation system. The index weight was calculated by the mutual information between index suitability and current land use. The consistency index was used to identify the boundary value dividing the overall suitability score into a suitable category and unsuitable category in each sub-region. The results demonstrated that the optimized WLC-ALSE model outperformed the comparison models using conventional methods in terms of the consistency between the evaluation results and current land use. Owing to the increasing limitations of topography, soil conditions, spatial accessibility, and land use, the proportions of suitable land in Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3 were 77.4%, 67.5%, and 30.9%, respectively. The agricultural land unsuitable for agriculture (14.5%) was less than non-agricultural land suitable for agriculture (7.4%), indicating that agricultural land had low growth potential in Handan. Finally, specific recommendations were made to improve agricultural land suitability, alleviate land use conflicts, and further optimize the model. The results can provide effective guidance for WLC-ALSE and land use decision-making for sustainable agriculture.

The mechanistic cropping systems model PERFECT was validated for six different soils and used as a tool to evalute land suitability of wheat cropping in the Maranoa, a marginal cropping area of Queensland. Using 100 years of historic climate data from the area, and crop, soil and management parameters, simulations provided an objective insight into the key interactions of the cropping system. Current methods of land suitability evaluation are qualitative and rely on the experience of the land resource surveyor and local precedent. Consequently, where local precedent is lacking, as in marginal areas, current methods are considered less reliable and quantiative data from simulation studies will be useful. Using this process, the significance of key components of the systems (climate, plant available water capacity, soil nitrate and soil loss hazard) were quantified. These quantitative data were used to establish critical values for diagnostic attributes for land suitability evaluation in the Maranoa. The role for this approach as a tool in quantitative land evaluation is discussed.

AbstractAn area suitability assessment for crop production requires a considerable effort, which can provide necessary information for optimum land use. Agricultural land use has benefited significantly from the use of suitability systems in recent years. These systems have jointly showed their capabilities in the evaluation and assessment of suitable sites for a variety of crops.In the present study and research work land suitability evaluation (qualitative classification) has been determined for onion, potato, maize and alfalfa in Khalat pushan research station of Tabriz University in East Azerbaijan by using of Simple Limitation method (SLM), Limitation Method regarding Number and Intensity (LMNI) and parametric (PM) such as square root and storie methods. Climate, soil and landscape qualities and their characteristics which most influence crop suitability have been combined by the adopted methodology. In this study economic factors have been excluded and moderate management has been assumed. The use of different methods showed that the most important limitation factors are climate, lime, pH, OM, texture and gravel alone or in combinations. Evaluation indicates that SLM and LMNI show similar suitability classes, which confirms the previous findings for several crops by other researchers. However, in many cases the use of parametric methods, especially the square root method revealed to be more realistic in showing the distinguished suitability classes in many cases. Therefore, based on the obtained results (especially by the square root method), the cultivation of alfalfa, potato and onion can be recommended, except for soil profile 2, which is not suitable (N2) for onion.
