Due to the environmentally sensitive characterics of hillsides, inadequate land use on hillsides will result in the adverse effects both on-site and off-site. The purpose of this research is to incorporate ecological land use planning approach and develop an erosion control cost function as evaluative criteria for land capability analysis to assess the environmental constraint of soil erosion on hillsides. There are four major points in this study: (1) apply natural factor to assess the difficulties of land development and use erosion control cost function for evaluation; (2) assess costs of erosion control from view points of both on-site and off-site respectively; (3) develop a cost function on the basis of erosion control to eliminate the subjective judgment of evaluation; and (4) assess the land capability using the established cost function for the sustainable development on hillside. Finally, Sanshia area is used as a case study for demonstrating the analysis of land capability using the erosion control cost function and the geographic information system (GIS). As a result, the established cost function can be used to assess both the land capability of hillsides and the impact of development spatially. |
