TY - JOUR TI - COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT INTERPOLATION TECHNIQUES IN DETERMINING OF AGRICULTURAL SOIL INDEX ON LAND CONSOLIDATION PROJECTS AB - Land consolidation (LC) is a tool to improve the processing efficiency of agricultural area and thepromotion of rural development same time an indispensable application for the promotion of sustainable agriculture. Inorder to achieve the reallocation process after LC, determining the correct of soil index (SI) for each of the agriculturalparcels is very important for the success of LC projects. Nowadays, interpolation methods are extensively applied in themapping processes to estimate the SI at unsampled sites.The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of three interpolation methods for the agriculturalSI values maps with GIS technology for LC projects. The SI data were determined from 132 observation points. Threespatial interpolation methods Ordinary Kriging (OK), Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), and Radial Basis Functions(RBFs) were utilized for modeling the agricultural SI values. The results indicated that all methods provided a highprediction accuracy of the mean concentration of SI.In this study, although the best performed interpolation method wasthe OK, the results showed that the performance differed slightly among three methods. Results show that all the methodspresent a good performance in the estimation with RMSE (root mean square error) and ME (mean error) close to 0%.
