Erosion sites were identified and coordinated using GPS receivers and overlaid on map of the study area. Spatial database for erosion sites was created using relational database model. Result shows that erosion in the study area were caused by lack of drainage outlet from houses‚ excavation of sand and surface runoff‚ and it will causes destruction of houses and roads infrastructures. The research suggests planting of trees‚ shrubs‚ and grasses‚ walls‚ buffers‚ rocks‚ and gravels‚ economic and non-economic
