Overview

Randomized trial evaluates land suitability for rainfed rice cultivation in Wukari, suggesting optimized management strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate land resources for sustainable rice cultivation in tropical floodplains using GIS and AHP.
  • Integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for assessment.
  • Standardized and weighted criteria including soil properties, topography, climate, and remote sensing indices.
  • Conducted sensitivity analysis to evaluate model stability.
  • 27% (220.5 ha) of the area was highly suitable (S1), 46% (379.4 ha) moderately suitable (S2), and 27% (224.6 ha) marginally suitable (S3).
  • Highest AHP weights were assigned to rainfall (0.258) and temperature (0.184).
  • Combining NDVI and TWI improved representation of vegetation vigor and wetness conditions.
