Mapping of Spatial Distribution of Soil Salinity and Alkalinity in a Semi-arid Region Spatial variability of salinity and alkalinity is important for site-specific management since they are the most important factors influencing soil quality and agricultural production. Geostatistical methods provide a means to study the heterogeneous nature of spatial distributions of soil salinity and alkalinity. The present study was carried out to evaluate the accuracy of different spatial interpolation methods including kriging, cokriging and IDW methods for prediction of spatial distribution of salinity (EC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) in soils of Ziaran region in Qazvin province, Iran. The tracking of the soil profiles was done using a Garmin eTrex-H model global positioning system (GPS) receiver. Sampling was done with stratified random method and sixty soil samples from 0 to 15 cm depth were collected. After data normalization, the variograms were developed. For selecting the best model for competing on experimental variograms, the lower RSS value was used. Experimental variograms were fitted to spherical and exponential models. The best model for interpretative was selected by means of cross validation and error evaluation methods, such as RMSE method. The sum of Ca2+ + Mg2+ and Na+ concentration which were highly correlated with soil salinity and sodium adsorption ratio, respectively, are used as auxiliary parameters in this study. The results showed that kriging and cokriging methods were better than IDW method for prediction of EC and SAR. Finally, the soil EC and SAR maps were prepared, using different spatial interpolation methods in GIS environment. Mapowanie przestrzennej zmienności zasolenia na obszarach o klimacie półsuchym Artykuł przedstawia zastosowanie metod geoinformacyjnych do określania przestrzennej zmiennosści zasolenia zasadowości gleb wy-ksztalconych w klimacie półsuchym. Omówiono zastosowanie popularnych technik interpolacyjnych - metody ważonych odwrotnych odległości (Inverse Distance Weighted - IDW) oraz metod geostatystycznych krigingu i kokrigingu. W pracy przedstawiono analię błędów map wynikowych wykonanych różnymi metodami interpolacyjnymi. Metody geostatystyczne - kriging i kokriging - wykazały większą dokładność w porównaniu do metody IDW.
