Abstract
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are crucial to every domain application especially for natural resource, land assessment, and management. Agriculture and terrain conditions are associated with each other where quality and usage of one defines the impact on the other. There is always a concern about terrain related issues and its corresponding native geo-spatial solutions. The present paper focuses upon Terrain Attribute Prediction Modelling for Southern Gujarat. It describes the authors’ approach towards determination of the variogram model and its parameters through extensive calibration and validation of experiment. The proposed Terrain Attribute Prediction Model achieves an accuracy of more than 74%.
