Humanitarian aid
From an evaluation report on humanitarian aid:
"Aspects fonciers et environnementaux qui définissent la faisabilité de chaque technique, tels que la qualité de la terre (pour la géo-architecture), la nécessité d’un terrain plat pour le séchage des briques (pour l’adobe) ou l’accès des véhicules (pour le préfabriqué). Chaque approche a son domaine de validité spécifique."
Is 'sphere of validity' right in English? I can't help feeling this is not quite right and that there is a better way of putting it but it escapes me at the moment.

sphere of validity
I think "sphere of validity" is great.
Another possibility is:
"Each approach is valid in a specific domain/area."
Another possibility is:
