Supported by RS technology and GIS technology, the amount of soil loss and soil erosion intensity in Jinzhou City in 2010 were quantitatively evaluated by the modified RUSLE model. The characteristics of the spatial distribution of soil loss in Jinzhou City were analyzed. The results showed that the soil erosion area of Jinzhou City in 2010 was 7 284.87 km2, accounting for 70.72% of the total area of Jinzhou City. The average soil erosion modulus was 18.27 t/（hm2＆#183;a）, belonging to mild erosion. Two slope belts of 15＆#176;-25＆#176; and 6＆#176;-15＆#176; were the main soil erosion re-gions in Jinzhou City. Soil erosion in Jinzhou City was mainly concentrated in the rural residential land and the dry land, and the soil erosion amount of these two land types accounted for 60.97%of the total soil erosion amount in Jinzhou City in 2010. It was suggested that the treatment of these two land types should be strengthened and be main treatment object for soil and water conservation in future. The research could provide scientific basis for the governments to make policies about soil loss.
