To better protect arable land and make more reasonable village land use planning,the pressure onarable land in the process of economic development should be carefully considered in developing land suitability evaluation system.In this study,we included both potential productivity and development pressure of cultivated lands to build cultivated land suitability evaluation system and used analytic hierarchy process to determine the index weights.Yannan village of Yiwu City was chosen as an example to explain how to use theevaluation system in village land use planning.By using GIS,the cultivation was divided into nine areas,inwhich the allocation of land resources was analyzed individually.The paper also discussed the method ofusing evaluation results in village land use planning.In conclusion,the evaluation system could offer decisionmaking support in village land use planning.
