ABSTRACT

Land Evaluation is the process of estimating the potential of the land for its best alternative use or as the prediction of land performance when the land is used for specified purposes. Land use planning (LUP) is a comprehensive progression based on the discourse amongst all stakeholders intended for cooperation and decision-making for a sustainable form of land use in rural and urban areas as well as commencing and supervising its implementation. LUP is anticipated to make a major contribution to the comprehension sustainable development in a comprehensive manner. Land capability classification is predominantly helpful in the setting up of large farms and it augments land use planning, e.g., balances the need for agricultural land against urban development or forest land alongside agriculture or pasture development. The overall performance of the land when exploited for specific purposes is usually expressed in terms of suitability or productivity.
