Abstract
The objective of this study is to propose the algolithm for making the land use conception map by using the land use capability classification model (LF model) developed by ourselves in 1990. In this LF model, we used not only Geographical Information but also the satellite data. The different kinds of training data, which were defined in the LF model as the rural and urban area factor, were set up to evaluate the accuracy of the land use capability classification. As a result, the applicability of the LF model for making the various kinds of the land use capability classification maps was confirmed through the quantification method type-II and III. Furthermore, by combining with these maps, the new land use conception map was made and its effectiveness for supporting the optimization to the mater planning goals was investigated. It was shown that the land use conception map proposed in this study could be supported to discuss the land use master plan and planning from different points of view what is called the development and the preservation.
