Abstract. - Land favorability to Crops in : Intercommunity Association For Development Alba Iulia. A Case Study. Specialty literature emphasizes on the major role of analyses and land pretability identification for different crops and agricultural use as a first step to economic evaluation of land productivity for different areas. Therefore, this study objective is represented by favourability identification for apple, pear, plum, cherry, sour cherry, peach and apricot crops. The framing on favourability classes for these crops gives the possibility to frame on favourability classes for orchards use for all the 11 administrative units belonging to AIDA. This was possible as a result of using GIS spatial analysis technique that allows modelling the favourability and restrictivity of environment factors on pomiculture and also drawing the areas having different favourability grades that will lead to making the best decisions regarding the land use for the studied territory.


Key-words: AIDA, land favorability, G.I.S. modeling, crops
