This study assesses slope indicators of agricultural lands with complex terrain in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan using GIS and remote sensing technologies. The Perfect Slope web platform was developed by integrating digital elevation models, Sentinel-2 imagery, precipitation, and land-cover data within the ArcGIS Pro environment. To evaluate the platform's accuracy, field measurements were conducted at 200 geodetic points, including slope observations at 100 locations, and compared with remotely derived data. The results showed a strong correlation between field and remote measurements (r ≥ 0.94), while the maximum slope estimation error did not exceed 1.2°. Statistical evaluation using MSE, RMSE, and R² confirmed high accuracy for gentle slopes and acceptable performance for steeper terrain. The developed platform provides a reliable tool for slope assessment, land suitability analysis, and sustainable agricultural land management in areas with complex relief.
