The land use optimization process uses different models generally belonging to two groups: mathematical models and heuristics models. A variety of models have been developed for various purposes. Each has its positive and negative sides, advantages and disadvantages. This research aims to define the usability of different land use model optimization for spatial planning in the Republic of North Macedonia. The basic methodological tool in this chapter covers the collection, study, and comparative analysis of relevant literary data and the evaluation of selected research. In the absence of domestic literature, mostly literature from several countries from Europe, the USA, and Asia was analyzed. Then 17 models were selected for detailed analysis. To examine the possibilities of applying the optimization models described in the analyzed research. An evaluation was performed according to the following criteria: a) availability of the data used by the model, that is, the possibility of providing the data used in the model from official sources; b) the number of optimization goals; c) the number of land uses; d) local adaptability, which implies conformity of the goals, purposes, influencing factors, limitations and other specifics of the model with those in our conditions; e) scope of the research. More of the reviewed papers on the analyzed optimization models and methods, marked by the authors, clearly indicate the fact or exceptional difficulty in determining the optimal land use model. The most appropriate model are as following: M15 - Integrating Socio-Economic and Land Use Models to Support Urban and Regional Planning; M14 - Functional analysis and valuation as a tool for assessing land use conflicts in planning for sustainable, multifunctional landscapes, by Rudolf de Groot; M16 - Spatial conflict management in urban planning, by Athina Santorineou, John Hatzopoulos, Katy Siakavara, Climis Davos; and M11 - GIS-Based Multi-Criteria Approaches for Land Use Suitability Assessment and Allocation.
