Landslides claim the lives of thousands of people around the world each year, causing enormous damage to people and governments. Landslide risk zoning divides landslides into specific and distinct areas of potential and actual degrees in terms of risk, this process is based on recognizing the qualitative characteristics of the area and quantitative modeling based on the data of the study area. This can be the basis for long-term planning at the regional and local levels.The purpose of this study is to investigate and zoning landslide risk in the Yellow River Basin located in the east of Khuzestan province using fuzzy logic method; For this purpose, first through field visits, geological maps and topography and by reviewing previous sources and reviewing the conditions of the region; Nine factors: elevation, slope, direction of slope, distance from fault, distance from river, distance from road, precipitation, lithology and land use were considered and selected as effective factors on landslide occurrence. Landslide hazard zoning maps were prepared using fuzzy gamma operator with values of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9. Then, the obtained maps were classified into 5 classes: very high, high, medium, low and very low.The results of the qualitative sum showed that the 0.9 fuzzy gamma operator is more suitable than other fuzzy operators. The results of the classified maps showed that 21.56% of the area in the high-risk zone and 43.24% of the area The area is located in a low risk zone.
