Abstract:

 


Land
evaluation analysis is a prerequisite to achieving optimum utilization of the
available land resources. Lack of knowledge on best combination of factors that
suit production of yields has contributed to the low production. The aim of
this study was to determine the most suitable areas for agricultural uses. For
that reasons, in order to determine land suitability classes of the study area,
multi-criteria approach was used with linear
combination technique and analytical hierarchy process by taking into
consideration of some land and soil physico-chemical characteristic such as
slope, texture, depth, derange, stoniness, erosion, pH, EC, CaCO3
and organic matter. These data and land mapping unites were taken from digital
detailed soil map scaled as 1:5.000. In addition, in order to was produce land
suitability map GIS was program used for the study area. This study was carried
out at Mahmudiye, Karaamca, Yazılı, Çiçeközü, Orhaniye and Akbıyık villages in
Yenişehir district of Bursa province. Total study area is 7059 ha. 6890 ha of total study area has been used
as irrigated agriculture, dry farming agriculture, pasture while, 169 ha has
been used for non-agricultural activities such as settlement, road water body
etc. Average annual temperature and precipitation of the study area are 16.1oC
and 1039.5 mm, respectively. Finally after determination of land suitability
distribution classes for the study area, it was found that 15.0% of the study
area has highly (S1) and moderately (S2) while, 85% of the study area has
marginally suitable and unsuitable coded as S3 and N. It was also determined
some relation as compared results of linear combination technique with other
hierarchy approaches such as Land Use Capability Classification and Suitability Class for Agricultural Use methods.
