Result Summary from Cartography Map Part I
This map shows the original raster file of the severity of chemical deterioration of the Soil

This map shows the original raster file of the severity of physical deterioration of the Soil

After RECLASS the physical map, we can see that the areas in severial physical deterioration.

After the result CROSSTAB operation. It shows that most of the areas are in good condition in terms of the severity of physical deterioration and soil degradation.

After RECLASS the CROSSTAB result of 2 maps, it shows the areas that are in good condition in terms of severity of wind effects on soil and water erosion.

This maps shows that there are a lot of areas that are in good condition in terms of severity of chemical deterioration of the soil and mean annual precipitation.

The map shows that most areas are in good condition in terms of mean annual potential evapo-transporation, chemical deterioration of the soil and mean annual precipitation, the severity of wind effects on soil, water erosion, physical deterioration and soil degradation

Results Summary from Cartography Map Part II:
The areas covered by rivers or lakes (The following maps are projected in kilometers, therefore, the scale bar is shown):

The maps shows the distance to rivers and lakes

The maps shows the RECLASS of the DISTANCE map above:

The Maps shows the final result:

Conclusion:
The red areas shown are within 20 km of open water (rivers or lakes) can be considered as the suitable areas for recovery experiment for the future if land is in high demand.
