Application of Multi-Objective Optimal Model in Forecasting Demand of Land Use for New Rural Construction in Yen Dung District, Bac Giang Province

Abstract

     In the world as well as in Vietnam, multi-objective optimal model has been used in various fields. This article reports the research results of multi-objective optimal model in forecasting the demand of land use for new rural construction in Yen Dung district, Bac Giang province. Among four land use groups identified, land use of group IV was analyzed by multi-objective optimal model with two objective functions -maximizing economic benefits and maximizing the number of jobs from the distribution of land use - and otherconstraints, i.e. natural area limit, labor resource, food security, average income, environmental sustainability insurance, rural landscape and the conformity to strategic development and local land resource potential. Test model results for Huong Gian commune apparently showed more advantages over the land-use plans being applied.
