Turkey is homeland of the grapevine (Vitis spp.), one of the most important agricultural products in the World. Our country, having the favorable climatic conditions for viticulture, has an important role among the viticulture farming countries of the World. The objective of this study is to determine potential growing areas of grape in Turkey by using Geographic Information Systems techniques based on topographic and climatic factors. It is important to efficiently use of our limited arable lands from the agricultural point of view.

This publication is a revised and updated version of World Soil Resources Reports No. 84 and 103 and presents the international soil classification system.

健康的土壤是满足粮食、生物质（能源）、纤维、饲料等产品不同需要的基本前提， 并确保在世界所有区域提供必要的生态系统服务。然而，人类正面临着前所未有的土 壤资源压力。特别是，各种类型的土地退化，包括快速城市化造成的土壤板结正在招 致沉重的代价，威胁着粮食安全和生态平衡。考虑到目前处于审议阶段并很快付诸实 施的可持续发展目标，必须从根本上保证土壤的可持续管理，才能让这些目标变为现 实

Здоровье почв является одним из главных условий, необходимых для удовлетворения разнообразных потребностей в продовольствии, биомассе (энергии), волокнах, кормах и других видах продукции, а также для обеспечения основных экосистемных услуг во всех регионах мира. Вместе с тем человечество сталкивается с беспрецедентным давлением на почвенные ресурсы. В частности, различные виды деградации почв, в том числе их запечатывание, которое связано с быстрой урбанизацией, наносят тяжелый урон, угрожая продовольственной безопасности и экологическому равновесию.
