Chapter 4 – Revised principles and procedures

¾The kinds of land use are specified at the beginning
of the evaluation procedure
(land utilization type descriptions as in the original Framework; see Glossary).
¾The information derived from the diagnostic analysis (Path Q) may be used for
the formulation of existing land utilization types,
and procedures derived from
the design stage may be used as one means for the formulation of improved land
utilization types.
¾The kinds of land use are broadly described at the beginning and subject to
modification and adjustment in accordance with the findings of the evaluation
procedure.
iv. Land use requirements, functions and limitations
When the land use is known, the related requirements,
expected functions and
limitations need to be defined (see Chapter 3 for discussion on the functions and
limitations). Land use requirements play a major role in land evaluation procedures, at
an early stage guiding what properties of the land should be ascertained, and at a later,
key, stage, determining suitability when they are compared with these properties.
Where functions of the land other than biomass
production are being assessed,
such as carbon sequestration or stabilized outflow from catchment areas, a point that
requires further consideration is whether the suitability for these functions (related
to environment,
settlement, economy) can be formulated in terms of requirements
–preferably quantitative–, or whether a different approach to the estimation of
suitability for such functions would be more practical.
