For countries whose national economy is highly dependent on agriculture, it is wise to support the agricultural production system with scientific research works. This helps those to shift towards a more productive crop type so as to increase the livelihood of the society. Using the multidisciplinary nature of GIS and its functionality,this book has presented the evaluation of physical land suitability result for rice production in Fogera Woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia.

Produktbeschreibung
For countries whose national economy is highly dependent on agriculture, it is wise to support the agricultural production system with scientific research works. This helps those to shift towards a more productive crop type so as to increase the livelihood of the society. Using the multidisciplinary nature of GIS and its functionality,this book has presented the evaluation of physical land suitability result for rice production in Fogera Woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The research uses the physical parameters, such as Slope, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), Elevation, Soil and Land use/Land cover of the area. Using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), particularly, Ranking method, weighting of parameters has been done. By using Weighted Overlay Analysis, the potential suitability area of the study area is estimated. This gives crucial information for decision makers, agricultural experts, and farmers to take appropriate management practice on the production area.
