Land suitability analysis plays an important role by providing information to decision makers regarding the opportunities and constraints associated with a particular land use by considering land properties, physiographic data and specific user needs. This research aims to evaluate the suitability of land for agricultural cultivation in Gapoktan Wiji Aji Bumi, Pendem Village, Junrejo District, Batu City. Soil sampling was carried out in the field using the stratified sampling (StS) method. Analysis is carried out by looking at local descriptions, general descriptions, soil profile descriptions and soil chemical tests. Assessments were carried out on chili, corn, rice and orange plants using composite soil samples to a depth of 40cm and 80 cm. The practical results show that chilies have 1 suitability class, namely N (Not Suitable), corn has 1 suitability class, namely N (Not Suitable), rice has 1 suitability class, namely S2 (Moderately Suitable) and oranges have 1 suitability class, namely N (Not Suitable).
