Abstract :
The evaluation of land exploitation according to its capability is one of the most fundamental issues in sustainable development. For this purpose, selection of a suitable method is very crucial to consistent the results with fact. Hitherward different methods have been used for evaluation studies and talk about the effectiveness of each method. In this study, the irrigated agricultural site selection of Taleghan basin was performed, with the aim of investigation of two Fuzzy logics and Boolean application, simultaneously. Results indicate that the use of Boolean logic beside Fuzzy one is a stricter approach but close to reality, which is ignored in practice, due to economic or political considerations.
