Abstract
 Morphology Analysis in Land Suitability Assessment Track: Modeling Author(s): Grzegorz Kunikowski, Tadeusz KRUPA The paper presents the results of morphology analysis (AIDA technique) for land suitability assessment. The methodology has been applied to energy crops potential assessment for liquid biofuel production within a European Union research project. In the study, pan-European agroclimate maps are evaluated with crop requirements. The AIDA method is applied for generation of admissible elements from the decision areas represented as mapped environmental attributes (climate and soils parameters). The search for optimal solutions starts from the decomposition process where the elements of decision problem are distinguished (sets of areas and their elements) and evaluated by their importance and exclusions. The number of possible solutions is substantially reduced by illogical solution elimination and stop criterion--elimination of nonperspective branches during a decision trees generation. The solutions differentiate mapping units and present European land suitability assessment. The AIDA method demonstrated relative simplicity and high efficiency for creative spatial data mining.
