This document outlines parameters for grading land use suitability from most to least important: groundwater, surface water, vegetation, soil, physiography and slope, and geology. It then discusses formulating land use categories, with 65% designated as residential, and involves identifying natural processes, constituting values, determining degrees of value, combining with concepts of fitness, and determining land use fitness in a hierarchical system. The process aims to analyze the Gurgaon Town Plan for ecological sustainability.
