Land suitability and urban growth modeling: Development of SLEUTH-Suitability

Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2020
Abstract Land suitability is one of the important variables influencing urbanization and needs to be considered in urban growth simulation and modeling. The present study is aimed to introduce land suitability which is a function of a few important urbanization explanatory drivers into an urban growth model for realistic urban growth simulation ...

Computer-based land use suitability maps

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1973
A computer-based method for generating land use suitability evaluations for urbanizing areas is presented. These evaluations are based on an analysis of the physical characteristics of land, such as topography, soil class, soil drainage, flood hazard, and depth to bedrock.

Computerised Land Use Suitability Mapping

The Cartographic Journal, 1983
AbstractLand use suitability mapping is a technique which can help find the best location for a variety of developmental actions given a set of goals and other criteria. The mapping technique is based on natural and human processes and analyses the interactions among three sets of factors: location, development actions, and environmental effects.

Land Suitability Analysis for Peri-Urban Agriculture

2011
This chapter presents an integrated technique of AHP and GIS to evaluate the land for peri-urban agriculture. Hanoi province, Vietnam was selected for the case study. Transformation of conventional agriculture to modern cash crops is the current trend in peri-urban Hanoi. A field survey with focused group discussions was conducted.
