1 STANDARDIZED DATABASE OF LAND EVALUATION FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION Nguyen Xuan Hai, Pham Thi Ha Nhung, Nguyen Quoc Viet VNU University of Sciences, Nguyen Trai, Hanoi, Vietnam ABSTRACT This research has built and standardized database of land resources, integrated interdisciplinary fully with the land evaluation framework of FAO. On this standardized database was proposed assessment of suitability with 3 main land use types (rice, vegetable and flower cultivations) in former Ha Tay province s districts (a part of new Hanoi), serving the proper land use, planning and management. The application of remote sensing methods and GIS showed flexibility in digital data handling, storing, extracting and providing information fully and quickly on the thematic map. Soil map and map of suitability for 3 land use types, presenting the result of land evaluation in 1: 50,000 scales, were established according to VN2000 projection (2012). On soil maps, in addition to the soil type elements, shows the results of natural factors such as slope, topography, soil depth, soil texture, stoniness and depth of gley. Keywords: integrated interdisciplinary database, agricultural land evaluation. INTRODUCTION The process of urbanization and modernization have strong impact to agricultural land in both quantity and quality, while the information of land resources is not update and not synchronous. In fact, management of information and data of land using traditional methods based on records, books and paper maps in the local area is difficult to update, lookup and exploitation of information on land resources. Therefore, it is necessary to have a new capable tool to provide information accurately and quickly for sustainable land management, assessment and planning. Among the current applications, the technology of remote sensing and GIS can meet these requirements, with the ability to widely applied in many fields, especially in support of planning, overlay maps, information management of natural resources. Database was built based on GIS technology has the advantages in management of spatial and attribute data. In addition, standardized information, the search engine, spatial analysis is very useful in the land management, which is difficult to perform by the traditional methods. Former Ha Tay province is a gateway to the Hanoi capital, with agricultural production played a key role in economic development, provides many agricultural products for Hanoi capital and neighboring areas. After joining to Hanoi in 2008, land areas of former Ha Tay province for agricultural production have been strongly changed. Although belongs to Hanoi capital, but this area still is the main source of agricultural products for the Hanoi. Therefore, the study on standardized database of land evaluation for production of these districts was chosen in this research. STUDYING OBJECTS AND METHODS Objects Research object is the information, data on land resources in the districts of former Ha Tay province, Hanoi including: Spatial data Background map. Basic thematic layers: current land use, transportation systems, hydrological systems, infrastructure, border provinces, districts, and communes. Attribute data The documents related to the current land use in study area. The research results of soil resources under the land evaluation criteria: soil type, slope, topography, soil depth, soil texture, irrigation, flood level. METHODS Methods of collecting secondary data: aggregate, collect and process the information, documents, results from previous studies. The land evaluation framework of FAO was applied. The method maps: MapInfo 8.5 software was used to build and edit the thematic maps that are full of ingredients necessary information. In addition, with this software, database can be standardized according to VN2000, as well as storage and export data quickly [1]. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Aggregate basis of land evaluation criteria Decentralization of natural targets Land characteristics in relation to the ability to adapt different land use types should be carried out [2]. The natural elements are used to build landmapping units, including: slope (on the hills), topography (on the plains), soil layer depth, soil texture, irrigation, flood level. 219
2 a. Soil groups (G): 24 soil types are in 17 groups: G Name of soil according to classified Vietnam Corresponding to FAO G1: - Sand dunes and sand beach riparian (Cb) Haplic Arenosols G2: - Alluvial soil slight acidic and neutral (Pbe) Eutric Fluvisols G3: - Alluvial soil acidic (Pbc) - Alluvial soil by other river system (Pb) - Alluvial soil slight acidic and neutral (Pe) - Alluvial soil are not acidic (Pc) - Alluvial soil not by other river system (P) - Alluvial soil with patchy yellow red horizon (Pf) Dystric Fluvisols Fluvisols Eutric Fluvisols Dystric Fluvisols Fluvisols Plinthic Fluvisols G4: - Gley alluvial soil (Pg) Gleyic Fluvisols G5: G6 G7 - Alluvial waterlogging soil (Pj) - Alluvial beck soil (Py) - Gray soil (X) Mollic Gleysols Areni Distric Fluvisols Haplic Acrisols G8: - Gley gray soil on ancient alluvial (Bg) Gleyic Acrisols G9: G10 G11 G12 G13 G14 G15 G16 G17 - Soil steep valleys converge (D) - Peat land (T) - Boggy land (J) - Yellow red soil on sandstone (Fq) - Yellow red soil on acid magma (Fa) - Soil russet on base and neutral magma (Fk) - Soil degradation russet on the limestone (Fv) - Gold red soil on clay shale (Fs) - Gold brown soil on ancient alluvial (Fp) - Yellow red soil changed by plant rice (Fl) - Humus red gold on mountain (Hk) Umbric Gleysols Histosols Gleysols Haplic Acrisols Feralic Acrisols Rhodic Ferrasols Rhodic Ferrasols Feralic Acrisols Feralic Acrisols Gleyic Anthrosols Humic Acrisols b.

Flood level (F) Non flooded F1 Flooding F2 Identify the land use requirements of the land use types Each type of land use demands on kind of soil, and various natural elements. The determination of land use requirements is based on: Soil characteristics; physiological and ecological requirements for plant; Ensure long-term economic efficiency, protect the fertility of the land and environment. In addition, farming practices and other local conditions were also considered. Classification method was applied by the method of limit conditions proposed by FAO, adaptation level was divided into 4 levels [3], in which: Class S1- Highly suitable: Land having no significant limitations or only minor limitations, easily to overcome. Production on this land is favorable, with low investment and give high yield and efficiency. Class S2- Moderately suitable: Land having limitation in medium level. Production on this land requires high investment (about % compared to S1) or gives low yield (about 20-30% compared to S1). However, if production is invested well to renovate, land can be raised to class S1. Class S3- Marginally suitable: Land having many limitations or some serious limitations, difficult to overcome (e.g. very high topography, very hard irrigation, etc.). Production on this land requires very high investment (about % compared to S1) or gives yield only by 30-50% compared to S1 in the same cultivation conditions. 220
3 Class N- Not suitable: Land do not adapted to types of agricultural land use, due having many current serious limitations, very difficult to overcome. If production is practiced on this land, it will not efficient or cause harmful to natural environment. To facilitate the matching and identifying ranking, land use requirements in accordance with the level of adaptation S1, S2, S3, N are: (Table-1). Table-1. Land use requirements of the main land use types.

This soil is formed from process of deposition, accumulation of soil inorganic and organic, in condition of flooded all year round. In the soil, gley process is mainly affected by groundwater. Peat land has ha, accounts for 0.22% of the total natural area of province, distributes in My Duc district. This soil is formed in low, bottom topography, with organic accumulation from plant thriving in the layer of several meters of thickness. This type of soil is considered as "problem soil" with limitations such as poor nutrition, contains toxins (H 2 S, CH 4...) and permanent submerging. Gray soil - Haplic Acrisols Soil is formed on ancient alluvial, with area of 3,846.2 ha, accounts for 1.75% of the total natural area of province. In process of formation is strongly influenced by leaching process (both by depth and on the surface) leads to soil often has light gray, light soil texture, leached horizon. Gley horizon appearances in flooding rice field. Yellow red soil -Acrisols Province has 36,801.5 ha of yellow red soil, accounts for 16.79% of the total natural area of province. Yellow red soil group is formed by weathering process of mother rocks under the integrated influence of natural factors and human activities. Physical and chemical properties of this soil group depend on the mother rock. 222
5 Humus red yellow on mountain - Humic Acrisols This soil formed from the weathering products of the mother rocks, distributed at altitude more than 900 m, with cool climate, high humidity, good natural vegetation; major process is humus formation and accumulation, in addition, the other processes as ferralitic, erosion are weak level.
