ABSTRACT : Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies have revolutionized land suitability analysis, enabling sustainable development planning that integrates environmental, social, and economic factors. This paper examines the methodology, applications, and benefits of using remote sensing and GIS for land suitability assessment. It outlines how spatial data acquisition, thematic mapping, and multi-criteria decision-making models are integrated to evaluate the optimal use of land resources while minimizing ecological impacts. Case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in agriculture, urban planning, and natural resource management, offering pathways for policymakers to achieve balanced growth and environmental conservation.
Keywords: Remote Sensing, GIS, Land Suitability, Sustainable Development, Spatial Analysis, Multi-Criteria Decision Making
