This paper is aimed at analyzing the soil erosion hazard zone in farm lands. RUSLE was used for the analysis of soil erosion by extracting the respective topography using DEM, Landuse, and Soil map as base map. We used ArcInfo and ArcView for data processing. As a result of the analysis it was determined that most soil erosion occurred in orchard area (i.e., 40.08 ton/ha/year at average). Erosion was classified into 5 classes depending on the calculated soil erosion amount, of which Class V was decided as a soil erosion hazard zone (72.5ha or so) in which 2.4 percent of the entire farm land was assessed as erosion hazard zone.
