Abstract
Today environmental assessment is considered and used as the basis and foundation of any kind of human activity. This is the science which gives human the consciousness about abilities and disabilities of his surroundings. This study tried to assess and provide the potential survey of lands in Khuzestan province for agricultural activities by taking into account the climatic elements and displaying different elements in different seasons. To achieve this goal, first produced data were analyzed in GIS software and then the data was tested by professors and experts of department of soil science and was weighted using the Buckley geometric mean model. Finally, the obtained weights were applied in the software and the obtained results are as follow: except some east parts of Khuzestan province which have proper climate for agricultural activities, other regions are not in good conditions and it is necessary to use cultivation with low water requirements and high resistance to heat and sunlight in these areas.
Highlights
Shaping and arranging of the local-spatial areas have been continuously discussed in different scales and concepts, since the beginning of human life and the use of natural resources [1]

The main purpose of this study is to determine the capabilities and potential of the lands in Khuzestan province in terms of climatic elements; because what is important in terms of environmental assessment is the physical power and value of the land
Summary
Shaping and arranging of the local-spatial areas have been continuously discussed in different scales and concepts, since the beginning of human life and the use of natural resources (especially water and land) [1]. This has caused that human mind focuses on the advantage of the land and increase of crops and horticultural products [2]. Using land assessment, limitations and inherent potential of lands to support specific uses in the long term is identified and reduces social, economic and environmental costs [7]. The main purpose of this study is to determine the capabilities and potential of the lands in Khuzestan province in terms of climatic elements; because what is important in terms of environmental assessment is the physical power and value of the land. We have to evaluate the lands in terms of climatic elements in different seasons
