A soil information system for the structural analysis of rural areas Surveillance des sols dans l'environnement par télédétection et systèmes d'information géographiques = Monitoring soils in the environment with remote sensing and GIS Desmet, J. SOL CARTOGRAPHIE SYSTEME D'INFORMATION GEOGRAPHIQUE UTILISATION DU SOL Belgium has surveyed its soils on a scale of 1:5,000 and has published those maps at a scale of 1:20,000. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have made it possible to realize a large scale Soil Information System based on those digital soil maps and on a detailed, metrically corrected cadastral map (scale 1:2,000). From the suitability maps for the various cultivation groups, the inclusion of data on the situation of agriculture in LIS and through thematic processing, an agricultural map is obtained, which can serve as a basis to balance agricultural and environmental interests.
