Land classification - Tochibunrui (English) land classification

Japanese: 土地分類 - とちぶんるい(英語表記)land classification
Land classification - Tochibunrui (English) land classification
The classification of land based on its homogeneity. Around the 1930s, there was a growing interest in the need to focus on the differences in natural productivity of land and to use the land rationally based on that, mainly in Europe and the United States, and since then, agriculturalists and geographers have been developing classification methods. Land classification uses one indicator or a combination of multiple indicators, and land units are set based on their homogeneity. The results are concretely displayed on a map, and the contents of the land units must be explained based on the classification system.

土地をその等質性に基づいて区分すること。1930年ころから欧米を中心に土地の自然的生産力の差異に着目し,それに基づいて合理的な土地利用を行うことについて必要性が生じ関心が向けられるようになり,以来,農学者や地理学者によって区分方法が考えられてきた。土地分類は一つの指標あるいは複数の組合せによる指標を用い,その等質性によって土地単位を設定し,成果は具体的には地図上に表現し,土地単位の内容が分類体系に基づいて解説されることが必要である。
