Abstract
The growing population and development of cities along rivers in the area of canals and their blockage have created flood-prone areas and increased the damage caused by it. The purpose of this study is to zoning flood risk in the city of Maragheh . have been used criteria, the distance from the river, distance from drainage lines, population density, residential density, slope, dem, aspect, land use. the layers were weighted by network analysis Process (ANP) method using Super Decisions software. According to the coefficients obtained in the ANP model, the waterway factor with a coefficient of 0/7500 had the highest value and the land use factor with a coefficient of 0/0895 had the lowest value for creating floods, and then all layers were fuzzy in GIS environment and with weight Hanging the layers and combining them by gamma method, the final flood zoning plan was prepared. Based on the results, areas with very high flood risk in the city center along the Sufi Chai River with an area of 3/126 hectares. They are located in areas 1, 2 and 3 and areas with low flood risk in the outskirts of the city with an area of 13/595 hectares in areas 5 and 7, respectively. The results from integration of ANP and Fuzzy models, as approved in previuos studies, indicate their high efficiency in identifying the areas with high flood risk. Therefore, it is essential to consider the zoning layers in planinig proceses, particularly rsik assessment
