A land evaluation decision support system (MicroLEIS DSS) for agricultural soil protection

Abstract

[ES]: La protección del suelo, para garantizar un desarrollo sostenible, requiere mejorar el uso agrícola de la tierra, tanto en su planificación como en su manejo. Los estudios de evaluación de tierras se consideran una interfase entre el reconocimiento de los recursos y la planificación y manejo del uso de la tierra. La aplicación de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones han ejercido un impacto importante en la toma de decisiones para un uso sostenible de los recursos naturales. Desde principios de los años 90 y siguiendo esta tendencia, MicroLEIS (Sistema Informatizado de Evaluación de Tierras) ha evolucionado hacia un sistema agro-ecológico de apoyo a la decisión. El proyecto original representaba un conjunto de métodos cualitativos de evaluación de tierras, que se convirtieron en programas de ordenador para PC para automatizar su aplicación. Hoy en día, MicroLEIS DSS constituye un amplio conjunto de herramientas informáticas de utilidad en la toma de decisiones para la sostenibilidad de múltiples esquemas agro-ecológicos. Su diseño sigue un esquema de caja de herramientas integradas de diferentes tipos de software: bases de datos, aplicaciones estadística, sistemas expertos, redes neuronales, desarrollos Web, aplicaciones GIS y otras tecnologías de la información. MicroLEIS DSS funciona tanto en inglés como en castellano, estando todo ello disponible libre de costo en la siguiente dirección de Internet: www.microleis.com. MicroLEIS DSS con su nuevo diseño ofrece considerables oportunidades para una mayor cooperación en la investigación interdisciplinaria y en la aplicación de la información y el conocimiento para resolver problemas sobre protección del suelo.

[EN]: Soil protection requires the improvement of agricultural land use, its planning and its management, in order to achieve a sustainable development. Land evaluation analysis is considered an interface between land resources survey and land use planning and management. The application of information and communication technology has exerted an impact on sustainable land use decision support. Since the early 1990s and following this trend, MicroLEIS (Mediterranean Land Evaluation Information System) has evolved towards an agro-ecological decision support system. The original project corresponds to a set of qualitative land evaluation methods converted to PC computer programs to automate their application. Today, MicroLEIS DSS is a set of useful tools for decision-making which in a wide range of agro-ecological schemes. The design philosophy follows a toolkit approach, integrating many software tools: databases, statistics, expert systems, neural networks, Web and GIS applications, and other information technologies. The MicroLEIS DSS system, in English and Spanish simultaneously, is available ready-for-use from the following website address: www.microleis.com. The new, re-designed MicroLEIS DSS will provide considerable opportunities for greater cooperation in interdisciplinary research and in the application of knowledge to solve problems of soil protection.

Antoine); ACCESS EU project, 1992–1995 (Contract EV5V-CT920129; Coordinator P. Loveland); IMPEL EU project, 1994–1998 (Contract ENV4-CT950114; Coordinator M. Rounsevell); ETC/Soil EEA project, 1998–2000 (Coordinator D. de la Rosa); and SIDASS EU project, 1999–2002 (Contract IC15-CT98-0106; Coordinator R. Horn).

14 pages, 5 figures, 5 tables, 45 references.The MicroLEIS decision support system has been developed, during the past 14 years, mainly by the authors of this paper, with the collaboration of many contributing and former authors who are listed on the website.
