Table 1. Surface runoff risk values assigned to slope percentages:

Slope range (%) Risk value
0-5% 1
5,1-10% 2
10,1-20% 3
20,1-30% 4
30,1% < 5
Exposure Criterion: Exposure criterion was preferred to have positional
the parameters for precipitation, wind speed and wind direction affecting the
surface runoff (Figure 3).

Figure 3. Exposure analysis of the research area

Primarily, inquiries were made on the climate data of Kastamonu Center,
and the aspects of precipitation and wind factors were determined according
to the seasons. When the average annual wind blowing rates and the average
annual wind speed were examined according to the seasons, it was understood
that the S-SW direction is the prevailing direction for four seasons. In terms of
direction, the N-NE directions rank as the second.
