Abstract
Land evaluation is of key importance in land use policy and planning for sustained rural development. The use of expert systems to support land use policy and planning decisions for conservation-based development in the Highlands of Ethiopia was investigated. A prototype expert system called ETCON (EThiopia CONservation) was developed to make recommendations for land use planning based on land unit characteristics and land utilisation type requirements for a specified farm input level and management practice. The knowledge base, inferencing mechanism, a sample consultation, and plans for field testing are presented.
