| Definition |
Land-use capability maps are maps created to represent the potential uses of a “unit” of land. They are measured using various indicators, although the most common are five physical factors (rock type, soil type, slope, erosion degree and type and vegetation). |
| Concept |
Land-use capability maps must not be confused with land-use maps. Capability maps shows the potential uses usually in relation to farming) whilst the land-use maps show the actual use for the land at the present time. |
| Rationale |
To establish land-use capability maps to help find suitable areas that are available for crops and farming systems throughout the islands of Vanuatu |
