Abstract
The results of the study using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) revealed a moderate level of the appropriateness in the development area. The y max value was 3.08 and CR value was 0.067. According to the AHP, it was found to be reliable at a high level. The analysis showed the importance for the land use suitability for agriculture in the Chachoengsao province. The suitable area (S1) was 35.55 %, the moderately suitable area (S2) was 46.96 %, and the lowly suitable area (S3) was 17.49 % of the area. Regarding a guideline for agricultural planning area, it was mostly appropriated in particularly on field crop growing such as cassava, coconut, sugar cane, and maize growing and followed by rice growing.
