METHODS FOR NATURAL LAND MAPPING UNITS DELINEATION FOR
AGRICULTURAL LAND EVALUATION
Iuliana Cornelia NICULIȚĂ1, Mihai NICULIȚĂ1

Abstract
Agricultural land evaluation has a key role in the sustainable agriculture. The agricultural land evaluation methodology
is applied to land mapping units for computing a suitability index, based on the value of several soil and environment
indicators, which characterize these land mapping units. The natural land mapping units, are delineated using various
criteria and thematic layers, but most times the approach is subjective. GIS, geomorphometry, remote sensing and
geostatistics bring the possibility to objectively delineate most suitable natural land mapping units for applying the
agricultural land evaluation methodology. The methods for natural land mapping units delineation can be divided in two
classes of methods: supervised and unsupervised. The first, require some knowledge about the area, and can be used to
carry the results for a specific purpose of the land evaluation. The last, related especially to cluster analysis and image
segmentation, depend on the input data and the number of specified classes or the seed points, so require first the
analysis of the input data, to reveal the clusters/seed sampling. Both approaches were used to delineate the natural land
mapping units for a DEM covering a test area, and were used to extrapolate the method settings for a DEM covering 15
villages from Iasi county agricultural area. Because reference data concerning the natural land mapping units is almost
impossible to derive, we analyzed statistically and conceptually the results along a topographic transect, in order to try
to find the most suitable method. Generally, unsupervised segmentation methods gave the best results, and from them
the segmentation procedures, although very intensive from a computational point of view, can depict interesting
patterns of natural aggregation of natural land mapping units.
Key words: land mapping unit, agricultural land evaluation, GIS
working scales. We performed several supervised
and
unsupervised
methods,
used
in
geomorphometry, remote sensing and earth
sciences in general. The supervised methods
require knowledge about the data and a previous
semantic schema of the target land units. The
unsupervised methods don’t need previous
knowledge of the data, but for better and
interpretable results, there is need of a training set
or the number of required classes/cluster (which
sometimes is computed prior the classification,
using several approaches).
Land evaluation plays an important role in
the development of a sustainable agriculture
(Davidson, 2002). Using various methodologies, a
suitability index is computed for homogenous
environmental areas (named in this paper natural
land mapping units), as in Romanian
Methodology of Land Evaluation (ICPA, 1987),
or for land units, as in FAO framework (FAO,
1977). The classical approach for delineating
these natural land mapping units, rely on the
expert-knowledge opinion applied to topographic
contours maps, using slope and exposition
(aspect), as the principal criteria for delineation.
GIS, geomorphometry, remote sensing and
geostatistics recent advances, bring the possibility
to derive methods for objectively and
automatically delineate the land mapping units for
land evaluation. In our approach we considered
only a DEM and geomorphometric variables as
inputs in the delineation approach, because we
considered them stable and error free, in
comparison with other interpolated inputs
(geology, climate, radiation, vegetation, soil),
with considerable uncertainty and also without
great mapping resolution especially on small
1
MATERIAL AND METHOD
As the base for the delineation approach we
used a digital elevation model obtained from
contours (from 25k topographic maps) and height
points (from 5k topographic maps), obtained with
Thin Plate Splines function from SAGA GIS 2.0.7
(www.saga-gis.org), with 11 levels for a smooth
generalization and outliers removal. This
approach and a pixel size of 12.5 m were used
after (Hengl, 2006) guidelines for eliminating as
well as possible the interpolation errors. The

CONCLUSIONS
The literature on the studied subject
(Malczewski, 2004, Pedroso et. al., 2010, Soto
and Pintó, 2010) shows that in general,
segmentation algorithm gave best results, in
comparison with classification results. Our
conclusion is that both types of classification
algorithms can be used for delineation of land
mapping units for land evaluation inside soil land
mapping units, as used in Romanian land
evaluation
methodology.
The
supervised
classifications can be used also with the
incorporated landscape knowledge. Cluster and
segmentation results can be very hard to interpret
from a pedological and land evaluation point of
view.
The possibility of applying fuzzy set theory
in the problem of land mapping units delineation
is to be considered, especially because we don’t
have real data for validation.
