Abstract: The paper is an attempt to analyze the land resource management practices at the municipal level to map out the current land use pattern with potential land use zoning with a view to categorize and assess land based on the optimal suitability for sustainable management of land resources using multi criteria analysis method with strong support from GIS, GPS and RS analysis techniques. Land (soil) resource management includes three interrelated levels: national, province and municipal with the purpose of land policy implementation, legislation and regulations in force, effective implementation of measures to protect soil cover, to maintain ecological balance and biological diversity in ecosystems of the Chure region. The soil cover quality on the most agricultural land is unfavorable, and on some land areas are critical in the sense of soil fertility to support intensive agricultural farming.
