Abstract :
Background and Objective: The choice of land use has always been a part of the evolution of human societies. This means that with the gradual evolution of human societies, there has been a change in the type of their needs and as a result, different societies have realized the need for a change in the use of land. The purpose of this study is to determine the suitability of lands in terms of soil characteristics including soil texture, soil electrical conductivity and soil lime for barberry in Iran.
Material and Methodology: Using ArcGIS software and kriging method interpolation, generalization of point-to-area data and combination of maps, suitable places for barberry cultivation in Iran during the statistical period of 20 years (1997-1997).
Findings: After identifying the soil factors affecting barberry cultivation based on kriging method, spatial data were analyzed using GIS and the location map of barberry cultivating areas in three classes of suitable, relatively suitable and unsuitable areas was determined.
Discussion and Conclusion: From this research, agro-climatic information is provided for planners and officials to use this information to carry out agricultural development activities in Iran.
