Evaluation of Land Suitability for Selected Land Utilization Types using Geographic Information System Technology: (Case Study in Bandung Basin West Java Indonesia)
Abstract
This thesis aims to build a model of land suitability mapping of rural areas integrating land evaluation procedures with decision makers' preferences within a Geographic Information System (GIs) environment. Automated land evaluation system (ALES), Arc Info TM and the ArcView TM were used to build the land evaluation (LE) model. A strategy was adopted to integrate the land evaluation model within the GIS.
