Abstract :

Fires and deforestation have been a crisis in recent years. Every year, fires threaten forest areas in our country, especially in the northern forests, and reduce its quantity and quality. In this study, first a digital elevation model was developed, then elevation, slope maps, geographical directions, and elevation. Maps of vegetation type and density of the region and maps of roads, residential areas and agricultural lands of the region were also prepared using fuzzy membership functions, evaluation of criteria, study area in each layer at a distance between 0 to 1 value. The results of using the dong model with fuzzy method in zoning of fire risk potential showed that in fuzzy weighting method, hazard zones are very low, low, medium, high, very high with an area of 6840.42 6605.84, 12044/46, 15922.87, 7416.89 hectares, according to the prepared map, about 40% of the area is in high risk classes and threatens fire in the area.
