Abstract
This paper introduces the solution for Dalat city’s soil erosion mapping using the integration of GIS, Remote Sensing and the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). Each of the USLE factors with associated attribute data are dicussed and the soil erosion parameters were selected and encoded in a GIS database to produce thematic layers. The result demonstrates the soil erosion map that indicates the potential annual soil loss located in each area of land. This map is used to confirm the severe level of soil erosion risk need immediate attention from soil conservation point of view.
