Agricultural land suitability analysis is a prerequisite for sustainable agriculture. In that process geo environmental parameters and the expertise of computer scientist to analyze and interpret the information is required. It involves evaluation criteria, ranging from soil fertility, communication, infrastructure, irrigation facility, agricultural land etc. The inappropriate use of land without suitability analysis may lead to ecological, economic and social problem. Multi-criteria decision making techniques like ranking and rating are used for suitability analysis with the help of Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS techniques. In this work using the high resolution Sentinel 2B optical data and also used Google Earth Engine (GEE) for extract agriculture land. The present study highlights the land suitability analysis and socio economic status of some places of Sankrail block and Gopiballavpur-II block, Jhargram District, West Bengal, India. Its main feature was to support of GIS capabilities that converted the map on digital format. Different Geo-environmental, socio economic development and infrastructural criteria like agricultural land, road, infrastructure (market, bank), fertility map, and irrigation were considered to match the local environmental conditions for land suitability analysis. The support of expert knowledge through on spatial tools to derive criteria weights with the use of their relative importance by using pair-wise comparison method technique was also used. Then the weighting sum techniques were applied to analyze the suitable land for agriculture.
