Soil erosion is a serious hazard that causes damages to environment and causes other problems. To compute soil loss, a system that merges with geographic information system(gis) is developed. This program uses the model of Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE).It is built on Microsoft.NET Framework 4, combined with integrated secondary development tool ArcGIS Engnie 10.1.This program can compute the six RUSLE factors, namely rainfall erosivityfactor,vegetation cover management factor, soil erodibility factor, slope length factor, slope angle factor and conservation practice factor by inputting corresponding layers. The system provides visualization interface and it is easy to use .We use the data of Beijing as an example for application. The spatial distribution map of soil erosion is generated and it is classified into five levels, which can monitor the distribution of soil erosion patterns. The results are in line with the soil erosion tendency. The soil erosion map will facilitate the allocation of conservation resources and the enacting of relative regulations.
