However, an initiative is underway to develop the Harmonized World Soil Database (FAO et al., 2008). The project aims to merge different soil maps and produce a new global map at a 1:1 million scale. To date, the effort includes FAO's regional Soil Terrain Database studies (SOTER; FAO, 1995), the European Soil Database and the Soil Map of China As such, suitability analysis combine heterogeneous soil, terrain and of scale play a major role in suitability analysis as coarse data affect the Figure 1.
