Abstract
This study was carried out to determine land use capability, current land use and subclasses, land types in Kayseri province of Tukey. Arc GIS 10.3.1 program from Geographical Information Systems software was used in classification processes. For spatial analysis, 1/25.000 scaled digital soil maps were used as digital base maps. As a result of classification; The highest land class in Kayseri is VI. class land and its total area is calculated as 9210.79 km2. Considering the current land use, it is dry marginal agricultural areas with the highest surface area and its total area is 4850.69 km2. The lowest surface area is the area covered by the vineyards, which is 102.91 km2. The areas exposed to slope and erosion damage due to soil insufficiency cover an area of 10525.67 km2. The areas with soil insufficiency with flood damage were seen in an area of 93.32 km2. The areas with bare rocks and debris are 16789.13 km2. The areas with river floodplains, reed marshes and coastal dunes with the lowest surface area were observed in an area of 21.76 km2. As a result of the study, digital base maps were created showing the land use capabilities, current land use, land use capability subclasses and land types of Kayseri province.
