Abstract :The aim of this research was to determine some erodibility factors, aggregate stability, structure stability and crust formation, in soils located at Ilgaz National Park and to generate their spatial distribution maps using fifteen different interpolation models in GIS medium. For this aim, total 151 soil samples were collected from surface insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-20 cm); soil depth. According to analysis results, it was determined that most part of the investigated soils has high erodibility value. In addition, correlation analysis was performed between erodibility factors and some soil physical and chemical properties. According to analysis results, it was found that a significantly positive relationship was found between AS and EC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.460**); and OM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.603**); at the 1% importance level whereas, a negative relationship was found between BD insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-0.544**); at the 1% importance level. A positive relationship was also found between SSI values and EC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.418**); and OM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.565**); at a 1% significance level, and a negative relationship was found at a 1% significance level with BD insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-0.542**);. Moreover, a positive relationship was found between CF and EC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.523**);, OM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.894**); and sand insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.345**); at a 1% importance level, and a negative relationship was found at a 1% importance level with clay insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-0.376**); and BD insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(-0.811**);.
