Abstract: Land suitability evaluation has been widely used in the filed of agriculture, forest, urban expansion land and so on. This paper is a case study of the green space suitability evaluation theory and methods in Changzhou. Some evaluation factors are selected under the principle of dominance, stability, independence and typical, the weights of factors used for evaluation are decided by the method of Delphi, and the management of the various layers (factors) space attribute information database is created in GIS. By multi factorsoverlay analysis in ArcGIS9.2, found the suitability and constrain distribution of green space in Changzhou city, which can be determined Changzhou green space system planning and development direction in future. Compared with the traditional planning methods, the results demonstrate that land suitability evaluation based on Geography Information System (GIS) is effective and feasible.
