Floods are one of the most common natural hazards, causing significant loss of life and property each year. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk areas of floods in Shahr Chai Miyaneh watershed. To implement this model, different layers such as slope, aspect, elevation, distance from river, river density, land use, vegetation, lithology, rainfall and soil were used. The final analysis and modeling was performed using the Vikor model. The results showed that rainfall, slope and distance from the river have the greatest impact on the occurrence of floods in this watershed. Also, according to the obtained results, 5.2 and 1021.7 square kilometers, respectively, are located in a very high-risk and high-risk area. Dangerous and very dangerous areas are mainly located along the main river and mountainous in the steep logic. Due to the high slope and height of the region, it plays an effective role in the amount of runoff and flow peak floods. Also, in the catchment area of Miyaneh Chai city, 2.2, 27.2, 1099.6, 1021.7 and 10.2 square kilometers, respectively, are in a very low risk, low risk, medium, high risk and very high risk area.
