Abstract
Amik Plain has high geographical potential of Turkey in terms of agricultural activity. However depend on intense agricultural activity and mis land use several problems have been occurred. The main one is salinization problem. This study focuses on soil salinization problem in Reyhanli district by measurement and analyses methods. Firstly the location points of measurement have been determined based on soil types. Then the field study and measurements have been taken. Electrical conductivity of soil has been measured on 214 locations by using a hand-held sensor device after rainy days. These measured values have been inputted in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and by using Kriging interpolation method the salinity classes of area were identified. Accordingly, in study area 10 km 2 area was determined having more than 4 mmos value. Finally the reasons of salinization have been investigated and the recommendations have been presented. Keywords: Salinization, soil, agricultural geography, GIS.
