Abstract—This paper is analyses of suitable agricultural area’s development for agro-tourism and development approach of agricultural areas using geographic information system in Nakhon Ratchasima, Northeastern, Thailand. The technique of map overlay of topography data, agricultural land use data, network analysis and field survey. The agricultural areas that are appropriate in the development of agro-tourism, the agricultural area of the implementation of the new theory or integrated farming as a guideline for the management of land and water for agriculture in a small area to the sustainable. In the area are divided the agricultural and residential areas into four sections based on the ration 30:30:30:10 means that the first area is about 30% of the water resource, rain water reserve supplement for growing crops in the dry season, as well as aqua culture and crop water.
