GARCIA NIETO, Hilario et al. Potencial agrícola del distrito de desarrollo rural 004, Celaya, Guanajuato, México: Una aplicación del enfoque de límites de transición gradual (fuzzy) utilizando SIG. Invest. Geog [online]. 1999, n.38, pp.69-83. ISSN 2448-7279.

The Rural Development District 004 (Celaya, Mexico), was studied using the gradual transition limits (fuzzy) approach as an option to the conventional (Boolean) methods, The resolution of physical factors was increased with relation to the previous studies and the verification results were used in the modelling stage to adjust sustaible criteria, The main advantages of the fuzzy approach were: the determination of the impact of stratification factors on the yield crops and the high separation of the crop suitability. Thus eliminating the subjetive perception of researchers to define crops requirements.
