For scientists, knowing the geographical distribution of species and the factors affecting their distribution is an important, current and successful way for the species to survive in the future. In addition, knowing the habitat preferences is very important for biodiversity. In this study, a distribution map was created using ArcGIS 10.8 package program according to habitat preferences of Testudo graeca (Tortoise) species in Bozcaada, which has a closed ecosystem and different habitat diversity. As a result, among 6 different habitat types selected in Bozcaada, it was determined that T. graeca species is preffered stony-hilly habitat type the most with 57,69% and 17,30% woodland habitat, 9,61% agricultural habitat, 7,69% dune habitat, 3,86% shrubby habitat and 3,84% around wetlands respectively. At the same time, 6 different breeding points have been identified on the island and shown on the map. Breeding points were determined in stony-hilly area, dune area and shrubby area respectively according to observation of nest and juvenile individuals.
