“…In this method, the weight of a variety of criteria was first determined using AHP, such weights were then applied to a weighted overlay in a GIS model. Such a multi-criteria method has been widely used in agriculture to assess the suitability of agricultural commodities singly, such as for coffee planting (Mighty, 2015), tobacco (Chen et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2015), wheat (Mendas and Delali 2012;Sarkar et al, 2014), tea (Foshtomi et al, 2011;Li et al, 2012) and others. This type of assessment may also be done for agricultural use more generally without reference to a particular commodity, such as for example, the assessments done by Bandyopadhyay et al (2009), Akinci et al (2013), Zolekar and Bhagat (2015) and Kumar and Jhariya (2015).…”

In Indonesia, Java Island still contributes a large amount of the total number of vegetables produced. In this tropical country, vegetables are produced in two different agro-ecological conditions, which are high altitude and low altitude. The rapidly increasing population growth has caused the centre's production of high altitude vegetables on Java Island to be increasingly pressured by other types of land utilization. This study was conducted in one of the production centres of tropical high altitude vegetable crops in the upper slope area of Mts Gede-Pangrango, West Java, covering an area of 78,290 ha. The research objective was to delineate the suitable land that is available for high altitude vegetables crops. In the first step, land suitability was analysed using multi-criteria decision-making methodology. The criteria used include those grouped within the parameters of land, topography, climate and ease of management; criterion consists of sub-criteria. The criteria were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process, while sub-criteria were scored according to their contributions to land suitability. The weights of the criteria and scores of the sub-criteria were used for delineating land suitability in a geographic information system model. In the second step, the land availability was analysed by taking into account the constraints of forest area status designation and the spatial pattern of official land use plan map. Results of both analyses were used to delineate suitable and available land for tropical high altitude vegetables crops. The results showed that the amount of land that was suitable and available for tropical high altitude vegetables crops was 23.7% of the analysed area. The area of suitable and available land that is actually not used yet is 9% of the area analysed, which could be recommended for the expansion of vegetable crops. Land that is suitable and available, either land that is already used or land that is not yet used, could be designated as priority lands to be protected from the pressure of non-agricultural land utilization in order to maintain the sustainability of vegetable availability.

“…The method has steps to determine the relative importance of weights on each criteria, before determining the final score (Bunruamkaew and Murayam, 2011). AHP is one of the promising methods used for the agricultural land suitability analysis based on individual criterions through quantitative analysis (Chen et al, 2010a;Akinci et al, 2013). Pair wise comparison method is used to estimate the overall weight of individual criteria or element.…”

Uttarakhand is covered with 64.76% of its area under Himalayan forest providing the exquisite biodiversity and differences in climate with a miscellany of flora and fauna. Therefore creates great scope for the development of organic farming in rural areas to boost the rural economies. But organic farming is not very much evolved in this state due to lack of adequate transportation services and other socioeconomic reasons. Remote sensing and GIS can play an important role in the identification of the suitable zones for the development of organic farming in more facile manner. In this paper a methodology is proposed to identify the suitable zones in the state for the development of the organic farming using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geospatial techniques to boost rural economies and promote rural tourism to make self-sustainable villages.This study represents the efficacy of AHP and weighted overlay model for the site suitability analysis of organic farming in the study area.

“…There are large numbers of studies devoted to characterize ecological zones for crop production, using the data of climate, soil, landform and land cover conditions (Liu et al 2013;Neamatollahi et al 2012;Alves et al 2011). As in these references, crop land was divided into several ecological zones such as the most suitable, suitable, sub-suitable and unsuitable zones for more effective land-use planning and management (Store and Jokimä ki 2003;Chen et al 2010;Su et al 2011). Spatial salinity variability of farmers' fields influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors is one of the most striking characteristics (Yao and Yang 2010).…”

Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors affecting the growth and productivity of crops in Hetao Irrigation District. In this study, the salinity tolerances of three local crops, wheat (Triticum aestinum L.), maize (Zea mays L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), growing in 76 farm fields are evaluated with modified discount function. Salinity ecological zones appropriate for these local crops are characterized and a case study is presented for crop salinity ecological zoning. The results show that the yield reductions of wheat, maize and sunflower when grown in saline soils are attributed primarily to a reduction in spikelet number, 1000-grain weight and seed number per head, respectively. Sunflower is the most tolerant crop among the three which had a salinity tolerance index (ST-Index) of 12.24, followed by spring maize and spring wheat with ST-Indices of 9.00 and 7.43, respectively. According to the crop salinity tolerance results, the arable land in the Heping Village Area of this District was subdivided into four salinity ecological zones: the most suitable, suitable, sub-suitable and unsuitable zones. The area proportion of the most suitable zone for wheat, maize and sunflower within the Heping Village Area was 27.5%, 46.5% and 77.5%, respectively. Most of the most suitable zone occurred in the western part of the village. The results of this study provide the scientific basis for optimizing the local major crop distribution and improving cultural practices management in Hetao Irrigation District.
