Abstract
This paper analyzes the salinity of irrigated land in Gulistan city using available secondary data and develops a methodological framework for ecological-landscape assessment and land-use optimization. According to a previously compiled analytical source, 524.6 ha (47.2%) of the reported 1,112.5 ha of irrigated land was saline, including 266.4 ha classified as moderately or more severely saline. These figures are historical source-reported indicators, not new field measurements. The proposed framework integrates soil salinity, groundwater, drainage, vegetation, relief and anthropogenic pressure using GIS, remote sensing and multicriteria decision analysis. The proposed zoning and management measures require field validation before operational application.
