"Quantification Theory Type 3 is used for idealizing the future land use in Kurogi town where the residents have some intentions to land improvement. GIS, which is becoming popular tool for the geographic information analysis, was progressively used in this study. First, paddy fields, upland crop fields, orchard and tea fields were classified into 8 categories depending on the present natural and sociological conditions. Second, ""Quantification Theory Type 3"" was applied for grouping the characteristics of each field. Each field was classified into 3 groups, i.e., natural, urbanization, land improvement area, respectively. It was proved that for clarifying the group, simple categories should be used. Finally, paddy fields, upland crop fields, orchard and tea fields were evaluated synthetically for visualizing a development plan in the future. The method presented here would be effectively applied for planning the future agricultural land use without any complex considerations."
