Assessing the site condition potential is one of the most important techniques for providing sound scientific and practical bases for sustainable land use planning. Using the programming technology, the site condition database grids and a technique of spatial analysis based on the Global Information Systems, this research have successfully fulfilled (i) determination of the grading system for the criteria, norms in classifying the site conditions; (ii) quantification of the potential of each site pixel (each square grid cell); (iii) gradation of the site condition potential for each grid cell; (iv) establishment a map of the site condition potential zones of Binh Phuoc province. The results of this research revealed that Binh Phuoc province has 174,298.02 ha of forestry land, in which: 77,141.75 ha (44.26% of total natural land) belong to the site potential level 1; 81,028.08 ha (46,49% of total natural land) belong to the site potential level 2; 15,404.19 ha (8,84% of total natural land) belong to the site potential level 3; 724 ha (0,24% of total natural land) belong to the site potential level 4. These results are very
meaningful and directly contribute to improve the land use management in the local scales for Binh Phuoc province
