The　application　of　a　Multi-Criteria　Evaluation　(MCE)　approach　to　identify　suitable　areas　for　the　production　of　banana,　lichee　and　longan　in　Southeast　of　Fujian　Province　in　China　was　presented.　Climate,　terrain　and　soil　databases　were　used　to　integrate　GIS　coverage.　Because　of　the　varied　topography　of　Fujian　Province,　the　yearly　average　temperature　and　minimum　temperature　were　modeled　through　Digital　Elevation　Model　(DEM)　for　the　whole　region.　The　evaluation　factors　of　slope,　aspect　were　derived　from　DEM　through　ARCGIS8.3　software.　Relevant　criteria　for　this　fruit　trees　and　suitability　levels　were　defined.　This　information　was　used　to　obtain　the　criterion　maps,　which　in　turn　were　used　as　input　into　the　MCE　algorithm.　Suitability　evaluation　result　map　was　produced　using　weighted　linear　combination　and　AHP　method　programmed　by　ESRI　software　Arcobjects　and　Visual　Basic　language.　Land　use/cover　map　and　distribution　map　of　fruit　trees　of　2001　were　gained　using　ERDAS　Image8.5　software　by　means　of　a　supervised　classification　from　Landsat　TM　images.　These　land　use/cover　and　the　suitability　maps　were　crossed　to　identify　differences　and　similarities　between　the　present　land-use　and　the　suitable　areas　for　banana,　lichee　and　longan.
