Abstract: The present research was conducted at Chitwan district of Sharadanagar to evaluate land suitability integrating with Geographical Information System (GIS) technology-incorporates the multi criteria evaluations (MCE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in 2014. Three major vegetable crops were selected for analysis viz. potato, cauliflower, and radish. Existing geo-data base from National Land Use planning was used and analyzed. The physical suitability was performed by vector-based index modeling in GIS taking soil, land capabilities and land use database into account. The relative importance of each main criterion was determined using AHP procedure. In final model soil, land capability class and land use were given 0.65%, 0.24% and 0.09% weight, respectively having CI of
