A procedure is outlined for analyzing soil data for regional land use planning. Maps of basic land factor limitations are illustrated for the Ottawa urban fringe, and each map is evaluated for biological and nonbiological uses. The major land factors relative to urbanization are used along with other data to derive an urban "suitability" map. Results are compared to the regional development plan for the area.

Practical efficient regional land-use planning requires planners to balance competing uses, regional policies, spatial compatibilities, and priorities across the social, economic, and ecological domains. Genetic algorithm optimization has progressed complex planning, but challenges remain in developing practical alternatives to random initialization, genetic mutations, and to pragmatically balance competing objectives. To meet these practical needs, we developed a Land use Intensity-restricted Multi-objective Spatial Optimization (LIr-MSO) model with more realistic patch size initialization, novel mutation, elite strategies, and objectives balanced via nominalizations and weightings. We tested the model for Dapeng, China where experiments compared comprehensive fitness (across conversion cost, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), ecosystem services value, compactness, and conflict degree) with three contrast experiments, in which changes were separately made in the initialization and mutation. The comprehensive model gave superior fitness compared to the contrast experiments. Iterations progressed rapidly to near-optimality, but final convergence involved much slower parent–offspring mutations. Tradeoffs between conversion cost and compactness were strongest, and conflict degree improved in part as an emergent property of the spatial social connectedness built into our algorithm. Observations of rapid iteration to near-optimality with our model can facilitate interactive simulations, not possible with current models, involving land-use planners and regional managers.
