Kürkçaı Basin Remote sensing and geographic information systems used to determine the risk of erosion

Kürkçayı basin, remote sensing and geographic information systems using the erosion risk identification study, the name implies, such as remote sensing methods used in land erosion risk and identify will be worked .This work while CORINE ICON and the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method has been examined, these methods RUSLE model, utilizing the land the erosion risk determine had been worked.Working area in Turkey as erosion, the greatest occurrence in the Eastern Anatolia Region Elazig province Sivrice district Kürkçayı basin had been chosen.At work slope, lithology, geomorphology, land enclosure situation, aspect, soil and bedrock eroding maps using current erosion status and Erosion risk maps will be created and will be evaluating this map.Result erosion rısk map had been gained with using the Slope, NDVI, and NDSI softwares.Level of erosion risk lowest at %24.1, Low at %31.6, Average at %26.3, High at %12.7, Highest at %5.4 had been determined in workspace.Key words: Kürkçayı basin, Erosion, Remote sensing, geographic information systems.
