Abstract: The erosional processes depend on various variables such as lithology, topography,drainage system, rock structure and climatic conditions. The quantitative evaluationof some of the above geological and geomorphological parameters is of primaryimportance for the purpose of developing erosion risk maps. These maps can becomeuseful tools for developing appropriate strategies on environmental protection, hazardassessment and regional planning. The island of Sifnos, in Cyclades, was chosen as a case study, where in the final map of the sub-basins of this island, erosion risk distribution is presented.
