Abstract
Erosion is defined as transport of eroded soil covers with exernal forces. Erosion has always occurred andwill continue to occur. Therefore, it is important to make erosion risk analysis. The use of GeographicInformation Systems (GIS) in watershed management field is increasing every day. Estimating theerosion in the basin is very effective method for soil conservation and planning. In this way, GIS products provide very effective and accurate data. GIS based ArcGIS was used in this study. The Kurtbogazi dambasin was selected as study area. Here, areas may be exposed to erosion were modeled and evaluated withICONA method. When evaluated as areas that may be exposed to erosion; 19.9% of the 10333,7 basinwas found to be very risky. In this study, it was observed that places including Saraç and Yukarıköyvillage are in high erosion risk areas.
