Agricultural land suitability analysis (ALSA) for crop production is one of the key tools for
ensuring sustainable agriculture and for attaining the current global food security goal in line …

Agricultural landscapes presently cover about 46% of earth terrestrial surface. This
cultivated area is decreasing, whereas the global food demand is projected to increase up to …

Land is the stage on which all human activity is being conducted and the source of the
materials needed for this conduct. Human use of land resources gives rise to “land use” …

Decisions about the allocation of land typically involve the evaluation of multiple criteria
according to sevetal, often conflicting, obiectives. With the advent of cts, we now have …

Since the 1970s the field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has evolved into a
mature research and application area involving a number of academic fields including …

One of the most important applications of GIS is the display and analysis of data to support
the process of environmental decision-making. A decision can be defined as a choice …

This paper presents a prototype of a simulation model based on cellular automata (CA), and
