Integrated land evaluation to generate risk-efficient land-use options in a coastal catchment

Johnson, A.K.L. | Cramb, R.A.
Current methods of agricultural land evaluation in Australia suffer from a number of weakness that limit their usefulness as a tool for land-use planning. An integrated method of land evaluation that generates biophysical and economic measures of land performance using crop yield prediction, expert systems and risk analysis is introduced. The method can be described as an economic approach to land evaluation. This paper reports on the use of the method to generate risk-efficient land-use options in a tropical coastal catchment. Utilizing stochastic dominance analysis, the effect of a range of risk preferences on land-use option selection is examined. Four typical land-use planning scenarios are presented that demonstrate the usefulness of the method.
