Abstract

From the beginning of the Earth until now, humans have affected their environment more than any
other creature. With increasing population, water and soil constraints, and climate change, food
supply has faced serious challenges. Among agricultural products, wheat is one of the most widely
used strategic crops in Iran and many countries in the world, which can be grown in hot and dry
climates with good yields. In Iran, about 10% of the demand for agricultural products is supplied
from Fars province. Fars province also has the second rank of wheat production among the provinces
of Iran. This study intends to evaluate the suitability of lands in this province for dryland wheat
cultivation. In the first step, climatic, soil and topographic data in the area of Fars province are
reviewed and analyzed. In the next step, the information layers are entered into the GIS software and
the suitability map of wheat cultivation lands is determined using the VIKOR multi-criteria decision
analysis method. The results of this study have shown that about 32% of the Fars province lands is in
the first and second rank of land suitability for wheat cultivation. Also, the distribution of suitable
areas for wheat cultivation is higher in the western and northwestern regions of Fars province.
