Multicriteria evaluation is a transparent way of systematically collecting, processing and analyzing objective information. This method integrates multiple criteria in order to combine all the relevant concerns in the decision problem as a gauge for comparison. Agricultural crop suitability is one of the interdisciplinary approaches that involve integration of criteria from different branches of science. Assessment for vegetable development in Plovdiv, Bulgaria is influenced by many parameters namely, soil and land parameters, climatic attributes, terrain and physiographic, social characteristics, cultural aspects, cultivation customs, infrastructure and human development, services available, market situations, live-hood of population, standard of living, ecology and many more. All of them can logically be classified into following categories: physical characteristics, environmental parameters and socioeconomic condition. Matching all these conditions and different requirements to assess the suitability of horticulture is carried out by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), developed by Saaty (1977). By calculating important indicators for sustainable vegetable cultivation, using GIS applications and digital information in the form of assessment map are the core of process
