Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we attempt, on the basis of the analysis and evaluation of natural characteristics, to see how space may be rationally used for agriculture, construction, and tourism on the territory of the municipality of Ljig. A detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the natural factors has been conducted. Then, a set of thematic maps has been prepared, based on certain criteria; the method of successive elimination has been used, and, finally, a number of locations have been determined as best for agriculture, construction, and tourism.In the paper we evaluated natural characteristics on the basis of such criteria that we defined four degrees of convenience of any terrain for agricultural purposes; for construction; and, for tourism. As a result, we produced our set of thematic maps; in them, natural factors are presented, and evaluated, each separately. By interpolating these same maps successively, we obtained the basic thematic maps showing, from the point of view of all relevant factors, which locations are best for agriculture, for construction, and for tourism. In the end, to verify the validity of our own methods, we compared the obtained results with the real, already existing usage of that same land, and we suggested what might be improved in the future.
