Controlled adaptive natural resources conservation

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2001
Malaisie

Increasing world population and the depletion of natural resources due to imbalances in development necessitates a new approach to development and the use of natural resources. Controlled adaptive planning, design, and judicious management of these precious resources seem to be a more logical approach towards resource conservation and sustainable development. This requires careful consideration and understanding of all attributes of a proposed site in order to suggest the appropriate form of development that will be in harmony with existing natural forces acting on the site.

A large number of mathematical models have been developed for supporting optimization of land-use allocation; however, few of them simultaneously consider land suitability (e.g., physical features and spatial information) and various uncertainties existing in many factors (e.g., land availabilities, land demands, land-use patterns, and ecological requirements). This paper incorporates geographic information system (GIS) technology into interval-probabilistic programming (IPP) for land-use planning management (IPP-LUPM).

Land Suitability and Purposed Land Use of Selaru Island, West-Southeast Moluccas Regency

Journal Articles & Books
Avril, 2010

Research was conducted in Selaru Island, West Southeast Moluccas Regency which hasareal 32,217 ha. The purpose of the research was to study land suitability class and directive of land use for developingfood crop and estate plant. The results indicated that Selaru Island was suitable land (S) for upland rice, corn,peanuts, mungbean, sweet potato, calladium, and coconut which had areal of 28,312 ha, 19,330 ha, 19,330 ha, 19,330ha, 19,330 ha, 28,312 ha, and 12,886 ha, respectively.

In Latin America countries, competition for access to natural resources among different groups has been a major reason for the outburst of violence over the last decades. One of the main aims of the political ecology concerns the understanding of the environmental conditions that can underlies the social conflict among people. Such understanding needs to be based on a detailed investigation of the natural resources of the landscape, mainly the soils.

Oil Palm and Deforestation in Papua New Guinea

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2014
Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée

An unprecedented increase in oil palm developments may be underway in Papua New Guinea (PNG) through controversial “special agricultural and business leases” (SABLs) covering over two million hectares. Oil palm development can create societal benefits, but doubt has been raised about whether the SABL developers intend establishing plantations. Here, we examine the development objectives of these proposals through an assessment of their land suitability, developer experience and capacity, and sociolegal constraints.

Comparison between land suitability and actual crop distribution in an irrigation district of the Ebro valley (Spain)

Policy Papers & Briefs
Décembre, 2008
Espagne

The present research aims to obtain a better insight into the agreement between land evaluation results and actual crop spatial distribution by comparing biophysical land suitability with different crop frequency parameters and with crop rotations derived from multi-year crop maps. The research was carried out in the Flumen district (33,000 ha), which is located in the Ebro Valley (Northeast Spain). Land evaluation was based on a 1:100,000 soil survey according to the FAO framework for the main crops in the study area (alfalfa, winter cereals, maize, rice and sunflower).

Climate change and land suitability for potato production in England and Wales: impacts and adaptation

Journal Articles & Books
Décembre, 2012

The viability of commercial potato production is influenced by spatial and temporal variability in soils and agroclimate, and the availability of water resources where supplementary irrigation is required. Soil characteristics and agroclimatic conditions greatly influence the cultivar choice, agronomic husbandry practices and the economics of production.

Evaluating the ecological suitability of the vineyards, by using geographic information systems (GIS)

Décembre, 2010
Roumanie

In this scientific paper are presented the preliminary results of the research having as goal to establish a methodology for the determination of the oenoclimatic potential and its spatial distribution in the viticultural areas. Data were obtained by means of GIS technology and disclosed a new, original model for analysing the viticultural ecoclimate.

Land suitability evaluation for brackish water aquaculture development in coastal area of Hormozgan, Iran

Iran

Land suitability analysis is a prerequisite for successful aquaculture, and site selection affects both the success and sustainability of any aquaculture development. There is an urgent need for appropriate methodology to assist planners for site selection in aquaculture development. Site selection can be viewed as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is a proven, effective method used to solve problem of site selection.

Development of a land suitability model for saffron (Crocus sativus L.) cultivation in Khost Province of Afghanistan using GIS and AHP techniques

Afghanistan

In this study, we have attempted to develop a land suitability model for saffron, an agronomic crop, which is economically viable, environmentally bearable and socially equitable at Khost Province of Afghanistan. The objective was to determine different land suitability classes for saffron cultivation using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS). A decision tree was developed encompassing the physical, economic and social criteria.

Edaphic characteristics of olive-tree areas in the Trá-Os-Montes Region (Portugal): a map-based approach

In the Trás-os-Montes Region (Northeastern Portugal), olive tree plantations cover an area of more than 70 thousand ha (near the 6 % of the regional territory), mostly planted and cultivated under traditional non-mechanised cultural systems. It is fully recognised that the olive sector contributes significantly to the regional agro-economy, as well as to the conservation of certain typical landscapes.
