AGRO-ECOLOGICAL ZONING AND LAND ADAPTATION ASSESSMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE FARMING IN THE BUFFER ZONE OF TA DUNG NATIONAL PARK

Abstract

Based on the criteria of agricultural ecological partitions, the research used agricultural ecological partition methods in the buffer zones of Ta Dung National Park. Besides, combine the GIS tool (Geographic Information System) to digitize, update information, overlap, zoning, build ecological partition maps, and adapt land units and partitions. Natural adaptive evaluation results and economic partitions for land adaptation for economic efficiency models are combined. Research results show that the buffer zone of Ta Dung National Park is divided into three different agricultural ecological areas including afforestation, perennial industrial crop, and fruit trees. In addition, from agricultural ecological partitions, three promising agricultural farming models are coffee, macadamia, and durian fruit specialized farming models. The research provides scientific data sources for conservation management models for other reserves based on the local community.
