वर्ग किलोमीटर से हेक्टेयर रूपांतरण: भूमि माप, पर्यावरण विज्ञान & शहरी नियोजन

Exactly 100 hectares equal 1 square kilometer. This is a perfectly divisible metric relationship: 1 km² = (1,000 m)² = 1,000,000 m², and since 1 hectare = 10,000 m², the calculation is 1,000,000 ÷ 10,000 = 100 hectares. This clean conversion is one advantage of the metric system for large-scale land measurements used by environmental agencies and urban planners worldwide.

Square kilometers are used for large-scale regional reporting (national territories, climate zones, watershed areas) because they represent more manageable numbers—for example, 'Brazil's Amazon region covers 5.5 million km²' is clearer than '550 million hectares.' However, hectares are preferred for detailed land administration, agricultural planning, and project-level work because they're more practical for individual properties and management units. International organizations use both depending on context and audience.
