was attempted for Whole crop barley (Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon (L.) Asch.) in Gangwon Province. The soil
data base were from Heugtoram of the National Academy of Agricultural Science, and the climate data base were
from the National Center for Agro-Meteorology, respectively. Soil physical properties including soil texture, drainage,
slope available depth and surface rock contents, and soil chemical properties including soil acidity and salinity,
organic matter content were selected as soil factors. The criteria and weighting factors of these elements were scored.
Climate factors including average daily minimum temperature in January, average temperature from March to May,
the number of days of which average temperature was higher than 5℃ from September to December, the number
of days of precipitation and its amount from October to May of the following year, and sunshine hours from March
to May were selected, and criteria and weighting factors were scored. The electronic maps were developed with these
scores using the national data base of soil and climate. Based on soil scores, the area of Goseong, Sogcho,
Yangyang, Gangreung, Donghea and Samcheog in east coastal region with gentle slope were classified as the
possible and/or the proper area for Whole crop barley cultivation in Gangwon Province. The lands with gentle or
moderate slope of Cheolwon, Yanggu, Chuncheon, Wonju, Hweongseong, Pyungchang and Jeongsun in west side
slope of Taebaeg mountains were classified as the possible and/or proper area as well. Based on climate score, the
east coastal area of Goseong, Sogcho, Yangyang, Gangreung and Samcheog could be classified as the possible or
proper area. Most area located on west side of the Taebaeg mountains were classified as not suitable for Whole crop
barley production. In scattered area in Cheolwon, Yanggu, Chuncheon, Wonju, Hweongseong, Pyungchang and
Jeongsun, where the scores exceeded 50, the Whole crop barley cultivation should be carefully managed for good
production. As a results, based on soil with climate the area of Goseong, Sogcho, Yangyang, Gangreung, Donghea
and Samcheog in east coastal region with gentle slope and some area of Cheolwon, Yanggu, Chuncheon, Wonju,
Hweongseong, Pyungchang and Jeongsun were classified as the possible and/or the proper area for Whole crop
barley cultivation in Gangwon Province. For better application of electronic maps of whole crop barley, acurate study
will be possible if a data comfirmed on th shine hours is achieved.
