Abstract

Land use suitability analysis is one of the basic approaches in planning. This process is complex and multidimensional, and a large amount of variables must be considered at the same time. With recent technological advances, many opportunities have been provided to process large amounts of data in planning and decision-making processes. Methods based on spatial information and planning support systems are useful tools. In this research, combining GIS capabilities with the planning support system has presented a method to evaluate the suitability of urban land in the Kyzylorda region, Kazakhstan for use. This system, as one of these efficient tools, can help the planners in identifying useful works or policies by considering a large number of different indicators, the most favorable areas for each type of user in real time, and also provides the possibility of participation. Among all the changes, the most worrying situation is for agricultural lands. The results show that land use changes are the expansion of urban and industrial areas and the reduction of agricultural land use. Agricultural lands and gardens in 2023 included 180,000 hectares and could decrease to 105,000 hectares by 2050, i.e., a loss of 75,000 hectares compared to the coverage of agricultural lands and gardens in 2023. The results of the present study, based on the expansion of urban and industrial activities and the reduction of agricultural land in the region, require more attention from environmental planners for better decision-making and management.
