ABSTRACT:
This paper focuses on the size of the amount of soil loss because of the erosion in the surrounding area of the Ganos Mountain over
Thrace Peninsula region in Turkey. Ganos Mountain is the second highest point in this peninsula.
In this study satellite imagery is used to reach rapidly to the actual land use classification. Morgan method is applied to solve the
modelling problem of the soil erosion. Geographic information system software named ILWIS and ERDAS Imagine are used to
monitor the probable success of the determining method. The question why Morgan method is preferred can be answered by the
following explanations made by geologists and agricultural engineers. According to them Morgan method has a more powerful
physical fundamental than the USLE method and is easier and more flexible method than the CREAMS method
