This study aims to develop a cenceptual model for the land use suitability analysis. Most studies have focussed on the methodological issues of the analysis, not a whole process but a part of it. The issues regarding the land use suitability are both matters of process and methods, sice it deals with the real planning problems. Thus, we review recent studies in this area and summarize the methodological issues in 7 categories and their procedual considerations. The proposed conceptual model has two folds: procedual model and corresponding methodological considerations. Its application study will be presented in a seperate paper.
