$BaTiO_3$ powders were prepared by sol-gel method from different concentration of KOH aqueous solution and Ba/Ti molar ratio. Particle shape, size and crystal structure of prepared $BaTiO_3$ powders were analyzed by SEM, XRD, and FT-IR. As the result of KOH concentration changing, spherical particles were obtained by condition more than 3 M and particle size decreased as concentration increasing. Different appearance showed between dried and sintered powders against changing of Ba/Ti molar ratio. In case of dried powders, the crystallinity decreased as molar ratio increasing. On the other hand, increased as molar ratio increasing in case of sintered powders.
