Site selection for pistachio orchards is an important issue for sustainable agricultural policies, crop productivity, agricultural planning, and communities. This study aims to investigate suitable places for pistachio in the Mardin Province (SE Turkey) by considering several variables, such as meteorological data, topographic conditions, economic factors, and soil characteristics, using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis. Pistachio farmers, expert opinions, and literature data were used to determine the requirements for pistachio cultivation. Four main assessment criteria (thirteen sub-criteria), sixty value ranges, and fourteen exclusion criteria were determined for the pistachio land suitability assessment. The weighting of the evaluation criteria was calculated using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Farmers and experts have stated that meteorological factors are more important than soil, topography, and economic factors. All data were transferred to the GIS environment, and a land suitability map was created using the weighted linear combination method. The results show that Mardin province has very suitable lands for pistachio cultivation. The resulting map determined that the 228,891.59 ha area in Mardin province is very suitable for pistachio. To evaluate the accuracy of the land suitability map generated for pistachio, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used. The value of the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to be 0.806, which indicates that the study is consistent. The created suitability map will be an essential data source for developing sustainable agricultural strategies in the Southeastern Anatolia region.
研究旨在通过考虑地理信息系统（GIS）和多准则决策分析中的气象数据、地形条件、经济因素和土壤特征等多个变量，来研究在土耳其东南部马尔丁省（SE Turkey）适合种植开心果的地区。利用开心果种植者、专家意见和文献数据来确定种植开心果的要求。为了进行开心果土地适宜性评估，确定了四个主要评估标准（十三个子标准）、六十个值范围和十四个排除标准。使用层次分析法（AHP）计算评估标准的权重。农民和专家表示，气象因素比土壤、地形和经济因素更为重要。所有数据都被转移到 GIS 环境中，并使用加权线性组合方法创建了土地适宜性图。结果表明，马尔丁省有非常适合种植开心果的土地。生成的地图确定马尔丁省有 228891.59 公顷的土地非常适合种植开心果。为了评估为开心果生成的土地适宜性地图的准确性，使用了接收者操作特征（ROC）曲线。计算得出曲线下面积（AUC）的值为 0.806，表明该研究是一致的。创建的适宜性地图将成为开发东南 Anatolia 地区可持续农业战略的重要数据源。
