Is it necessary to update the land capability cartography of the Valencian Community?
[EN]: The Territorial Strategy of the Valencian Community is the instrument that establishes the objectives, criteria, and guidelines for its territorial spatial planning. Within this framework, a methodological guide for the municipal agrological soil evaluation was drafted in 2011 to guide future territorial developments and try to preserve agricultural soils with very high or high land capability. Previously it is necessary to specify the soils with these land capability classes. This work proposes a methodological sequence, divided into five phases, to adapt and update the pre-existing land capability cartography. The phases are the following: identification of physiographic units; individualization of units with very high or high land capability; identification of artificial surfaces, extraction or dumping areas and bodies of water; identification of areas with slopes greater than 8% and retracing of units with very high and high land capability. These adaptations allow to improve the positional, thematic and, above all, temporal accuracy of the original cartography of land use capability, which is a necessary action if the working scale is municipal, and the territory has undergone important transformations derived from changes in land use.

| Summary: | [EN]: The Territorial Strategy of the Valencian Community is the instrument that establishes the objectives, criteria, and guidelines for its territorial spatial planning. Within this framework, a methodological guide for the
municipal agrological soil evaluation was drafted in 2011 to guide future territorial developments and try to
preserve agricultural soils with very high or high land capability. Previously it is necessary to specify the soils with these land capability classes. This work proposes a methodological sequence, divided into five phases,
to adapt and update the pre-existing land capability cartography. The phases are the following: identification
of physiographic units; individualization of units with very high or high land capability; identification of artificial surfaces, extraction or dumping areas and bodies of water; identification of areas with slopes greater
than 8% and retracing of units with very high and high land capability. These adaptations allow to improve
the positional, thematic and, above all, temporal accuracy of the original cartography of land use capability,
which is a necessary action if the working scale is municipal, and the territory has undergone important
transformations derived from changes in land use. |
