A study was undertaken to evaluate the soils in Bareli watershed, Seoni district of Madhya Pradesh for sustainable land use planning. Five soil series namely, Diwartola, Diwara, Bareli-1, Bareli-2 and Bareli-3 were tentatively identified and mapped into twenty-four mapping units and a soil map was generated using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. The land information generated during soil survey has been used to evaluate land capability, land irrigability, soil productivity and soil-site suitability for some medicinal, aromatic and spices crops. The soils were grouped into land capability sub-classes IVs and IVst and land irrigability sub-classes 2st, 3s, 3st and 4st. Soils of Diwartola, Bareli-1 and Bareli-3 were average and soils of Diwara and Bareli-2 were poor in soil productivity based on limitations of erosion, drainage and physicochemical properties. Soil-site suitability assessment reveals that soils of Bareli-1 were moderately suitable (S2) for cultivation of medicinal and spices crops like Ashwagandha, Mucana, Davana, Lemongrass, Turmeric and Ginger with moderate limitations of effective depth and slope, while, soils of Diwartola and Bareli-3 were marginally suitable (S3) for cultivation of these crops.

To characterize soils of different land uses and to prepare land use zoning maps, a field survey was conducted in August, 2014 in Chaumala VDC, Kailali. Main objective was to prepare scientific land resource inventory at VDC level to delineate land use based on land types, associated soils and land capability classes to formulate sustainable land use planning. The maximum area is allocated in forest zone (66.62%) followed by agriculture zone (20.83%). Area allocated as public use is 9.48%, for residential is 2.91%, and for commercial is 0.15% whereas industrial area covers the minimum (0.01%). Detailed land resource inventory is utmost for better land use planning and formulating best land use policies.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(4): 458-463

The objective of land use planning is to make decisions on land use in such a way that the natural resources are put to the most beneficial use for man, while ensuring sustainability and conserving ecosystem. Each plant species requires specific soil-site conditions for its optimum growth. For rationalizing land use, the soil-site suitability for different crops needs to be determined. In the present investigation, soil-site suitability evaluation was carried out for paddy, maize, turmeric and mango crops of Nizamabad district of Telangana. The spatial database was generated using IRS-1D LISS-III satellite data. The spatial database and soil properties were integrated and analysed for the evaluation of suitability class of above crops using FAO guidelines in Geographical Information system (GIS) environment. The results indicated that out of total geographical area of 7,06,084 ha of the district 53.5 per cent area was moderately suitable to paddy, 50.6 per cent area was marginally suitable for maize, and 13.1 per cent was moderately suitable for turmeric, while 40.4 per cent of area was marginally suitable for mango.

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.

Burial Grounds

Cemetery grounds and sustainable land use practice are rarely used in conjunction however natural burial grounds present opportunities to leverage the land use and environmental challenges associated with conventional cemeteries for the benefit of people and the environment. This paper explores land use planning challenges facing Ontario in planning for the disposal of our dead and the emergence of natural burial grounds as a sustainable alternative to conventional burial. This paper also explores how planning challenges related to planning for the disposal of our dead could be leveraged to produce positive outcomes; in particular the strengthening of Ontario's Greenbelt as a living landscape. This paper argues the Natural burial has potential to be a value added land resource and can mitigate a series of burial related land use challenges currently present in Ontario.
