Identifying land favorability of Intercommunity Association for Development Alba Iulia for pasture utilization through G.I.S. techniques. The development of agricultural land represents one of the major objectives of national strategic framework for sustainable development of the farm food sector and the countryside development. It relies on the potential of each region so as to lead to the development of farm food sector and to increased competitiveness. Identifying land favorability for pasture utilization was done through land evaluation mark, taking into account indicators that descri be soil characteristics, physical landscape, climate and hydrography. The study was based on the use of G.I.S. spatial analysis techniques, which allowed both primary and secondary database construction and also encoding parameters, grant evaluation marks for each homogenous environmental territory identified, framing the favorability classes of the whole analyzed territory and statistical analysis at the level of administrative territorial units of Intercommunity Association for Development Alba Iulia.
