Metadata Details: Study of the land use value of the Sarajevo Canton

Knowledge of land resources is an essential prerequisite for planning the optimal use of land and it occupies a key place in the development strategy of every country. This problem is particularly pronounced in conditions of a small fund of arable land, as is the case for the Sarajevo Canton area. It should be borne in mind that the soil is not the property of one generation but of a series of generations to come. Assessing the importance of endangering land as a natural resource, the Sarajevo Canton has prepared a Study of the Use Value of Land in the Sarajevo Canton area for the purposes of preparing the Spatial Plan of the Sarajevo Canton for the period 2003 to 2023. The aim of this Study is to determine the balances and quality of land that will serve as the basis for future planning of the development of the Canton and its spatial planning with rational application and optimal use of land resources. The main goal is that future soil protection and agricultural improvement are based on the foundations of the so-called. ecological agriculture, which is today designated in the world as the basis for soil conservation and quality production. The study used the land categorization system "Land capability classification", adapted to the conditions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where land is ranked in eight categories from the best (category I) to the worst (category VIII). The study was based on field and desk work aimed at producing solvency maps M 1:10,000 for all nine municipalities of the Sarajevo Canton, as well as producing maps of agricultural zones and land damage on the same scale.
