Land Suitability Evaluation for Irrigated Wheat in Falavarjan Region (Isfahan) Using Fuzzy Set Theory

摘要

This study aims to evaluate land suitability for irrigated wheat in Falavarjan region (Isfahan) using the theory of fuzzy sets. This method differs from the usual land evaluation procedures in its use of weight for different land characteristics and in its method of determining land suitability index. The results were compared with those from parametric land evaluation method. The correlation between land indices and observed yield was higher for the fuzzy set method (r=0.35) as compared to the parametric method (r=0.14). The higher relationship given by the fuzzy set method illustrates its potential usefulness and applicability to land evaluation. Keywords: Land suitability evaluation, Parametric method, Fuzzy set method, Membership function, Wheat.
