Fuzzy Screening for Land Suitability Analysis
Geographical and Environmental Modelling, 2002Screening procedures are typically operationalized in GIS by means of Boolean operations using conjunctive or disjunctive decision rules. There are several conceptual and technical problems with the conventional screening methods. The methods require fairly detailed a priori information about the cut-off values, aspiration (target) levels, or ...

A Review on Land Suitability Analysis for Irrigation
Ecology, Environment and ConservationPlanning for agricultural expansion and solving the problem of global water shortages both need the use of a critical instrument, the assessment of land suitability for irrigation. A land suitability analysis evaluates a site to determine whether it is suitable or adequate for specific land use in that location.
