Web-based multicriteria spatial decision support system (MC-SDSS) for land suitability evaluation in olive groves. A case study in Calabria region, southern Italy
CONTEXT
Effective and sustainable agricultural land management is essential for developing agriculture and food production. Olive trees are among the most significant cultivated plants in the Mediterranean region. Yet, they are especially vulnerable to climatic and socioeconomic changes rapidly transforming agroecosystems at a regional and global scale.
OBJECTIVES
This study presents the outcomes of implementing a web-based multi-criteria spatial decision support system (MC-SDSS) designed explicitly for evaluating land suitability for olive cultivation. The aim is to identify areas that are most suitable for sustainable olive growing.
METHODS
This system relies on free and open-source geospatial software (FOSS4G). The implemented web platform (WebGIS Suitability Olive) was tested by performing an LSE for olive growing in the Calabria region (Southern Italy). The platform is designed to manage users with different levels of access (i.e., user's privileges): Guest (data visualization), Expert (making evaluations), and Decision-Maker (making final decisions). The decision-maker collects the results produced by each expert, aggregating all the intermediate results through a geometric mean and generating the final Suitability Map, which represents the synthesis of all the evaluations provided by the experts.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
The final suitability assessment identifies the most appropriate areas for sustainable olive cultivation. The results indicate that the total area suitable for sustainable olive growing in Calabria is 109,595.10 ha, of which olive groves already occupy 46,912.17 ha.
SIGNIFICANCE
This tool is designed to support more complex planning processes that require multi-temporal and multi-actor approaches. These approaches are essential for evaluating different alternatives and proposing various sustainable solutions from environmental and landscape perspectives.
期刊介绍:
Agricultural Systems is an international journal that deals with interactions - among the components of agricultural systems, among hierarchical levels of agricultural systems, between agricultural and other land use systems, and between agricultural systems and their natural, social and economic environments.
The scope includes the development and application of systems analysis methodologies in the following areas:
Systems approaches in the sustainable intensification of agriculture; pathways for sustainable intensification; crop-livestock integration; farm-level resource allocation; quantification of benefits and trade-offs at farm to landscape levels; integrative, participatory and dynamic modelling approaches for qualitative and quantitative assessments of agricultural systems and decision making;
The interactions between agricultural and non-agricultural landscapes; the multiple services of agricultural systems; food security and the environment;
Global change and adaptation science; transformational adaptations as driven by changes in climate, policy, values and attitudes influencing the design of farming systems;
Development and application of farming systems design tools and methods for impact, scenario and case study analysis; managing the complexities of dynamic agricultural systems; innovation systems and multi stakeholder arrangements that support or promote change and (or) inform policy decisions.
