A new approach in determining of erosion risk with use of remote sensing and geographic information systems: Case of Çorum province

In this study, the techniques of soil erosion risk determinationCORINE and ICONA had been examined and made efforts to display a newerosion risk assesment technique with the analytic hierarchical process(AHP) use in solution of multiple measure of value adjudication problems.The weight of soil variants that is determined with AHP and newerosion risk formula used to make up of erosion risk map. Province ofÇorum had been selected for workspace. Remote Sensing and GeographicalInformation Systems techniques had been made use of new technique to beapplied to workspace.Result erosion risk map had been gained with using the ArcGIS 9.0and Erdas Imagine 8.5 softwares. Level of erosion risk lowest at 7%, low at13%, average at 20%, high at 27% , highest at 33% had been determined inworkspace.Keywords: Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP), Geographic InformationSystems, Erosion, Remote Sensing
