Abstract: - Identifying land favorability of Intercommunity Association for
Development Alba Iulia for pasture utilization through G.I.S. techniques.
The development of agricultural land represents one of the major objectives of
national strategic framework for sustainable development of the farm food sector
and the countryside development. It relies on the potential of each region so as
to lead to the development of farm food sector and to increased competitiveness.
Identifying land favorability for pasture utilization was done through land
evaluation mark, taking into account indicators that descri be soil
characteristics, physical landscape, climate and hydrography. The study was
based on the use of G.I.S. spatial analysis techniques, which allowed both
primary and secondary database construction and also encoding parameters, grant
evaluation marks for each homogenous environmental territory identified, framing
the favorability classes of the whole analyzed territory and statistical
analysis at the level of administrative territorial units of Intercommunity
Association for Development Alba Iulia.
Key-words: land favorability, pastures, AIDA, G.I.S.
