TM image, digital topographic maps on the scale of 1︰10000, and other ancillary materials were used

in this study. Land use type, vegetation cover rate and slope were selected as impact factors to make a rapid

evaluation of soil erosion intensity in Honghu, Yujiang County, supported by remote sensing and GIS. As a result,

the classification map of soil erosion intensity was obtained. On such a basis, the situation of soil erosion

intensity in the study site was analyzed, and the results show that the soil erosion intensity information derived

from the method in this paper is quite close to the real situation.
