Popis:	Land use suitability mapping is a technique which can help find the best location for a variety of developmental actions given a set of goals and other criteria. The mapping technique is based on natural and human processes and analyses the interactions among three sets of factors: location, development actions, and environmental effects. The technique can yield three types of maps: a map showing what land use will cause the least change in environmental processes, a map showing qualitative predictions of environmental impacts of proposed developments, and given certain developmental actions to be carried out and specific environmental actions to be controlled, a map showing the most and least suitable locations for those actions. Two case studies are given in which suitability mapping was used as a tool to help local, state, and federal agencies formulate public policy regarding land use decisions in coastal Southern California.
