This article investigates a strategy for the distribution of land to develop urban agriculture, and speculate how to apply Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) for determining the location and level of conflict between agriculture and other forms of human intervention. The procedure is applied on a case study in the city of the Netherlands: Delft. And the findings expect to produce a model which shows a set of suitability maps, using which planners may quickly compare scenarios and make a decision.

For this reason we suggest immigration authorities could consider forewarning asylum applicants i.e. before their interview, about the existence, purpose and possible consequences of exclusion on the basis of Article 1F.
