Abstract
Satellite images and thematic information were used for the estimation of macroscopic current land suitability for paddy and settlement. These data were analyzed by a quantitative method known as quantification-2 theory with the aid of remote sensing and geographic information systems. Six variables, consisting of two thematic information and four satellite images, were selected for the estimation of land suitability for paddy into three cases and for settlement into two cases. The results show that the combination of satellite images alone performed a reliable role for the estimation of macroscopic current land suitability. The land suitability score could be objectively quantified by introducing this method.
