In this study, the erodibility (K-factor) of arable land in Yavuzeli and Araban in Gaziantep province was assessed. The erosion risk was determined by application of the RUSLE model (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) and presented as digital maps by means of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The K-factors of both addressed regions, Yavuzeli and Araban, were calculated between 0.33 and 0.79, marking a high erosion risk according to the RUSLE model.
