Abstract
The problem of evaluation of agricultural land suitability is considered as a fuzzy modeling task. For assessment of land
suitability, it is proposed to use fuzzy indicators. Application of individual fuzzy indicators gives opportunity for assessment
of suitability of lands as degree or grade of performance when the lands are used for agricultural purposes. Using composite
fuzzy indicator it is possible to obtain weighted average estimation of land suitability. This theoretical technique is illustrated
with a simple example.
Keywords land suitability evaluation - fuzzy set theory - fuzzy indicator
