        Every year flooding causes countries billions of dollars’ worth of damage that threatens the livelihood of individuals. As a result, it poses significant socio-economic threats to populations worldwide. Therefore, it should be controlled and restrained. In this regard, machine learning algorithms, along with geographic information systems, are primary tools that are effective in flood control modeling and analysis. The purpose of this research is to identify a part of flood-sensitive regions across the Heraz catchment area in Mazandaran province using ensemble methods in machine learning algorithms. The research process is as follows: first, the data of flood points were prepared. Next, 70% of approximately 240 sample positions were used for modeling and map preparation. The remaining 30%, which were randomly selected, were used to validate the produced maps. Then, the effective factors, including slope angle, slope direction, topography, soil type, land cover, distance from the river, annual rainfall, normalized difference vegetation index, index of sediment transmittance, index of topographic wetness, and index of stream density have been used to weight the impact of each factor using machine learning algorithms. Based on the results of this study, the system performance characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to validate the flood-prone area map. Findings demonstrated that the Adaptive Boosting model is more accurate than the Bagging model in preparing a flood sensitivity map. Predictive susceptibility mapping plays a pivotal role in enabling urban planners and managers to mitigate and safeguard proactively against the adverse consequences of flooding. Flood management authorities in the Ministry of Energy can employ the proposed ensemble model to assist disaster management and mitigate hazards in future studies. . Manuscript profile

        Earthquake is a natural disaster which causes many problems. One action can be taken to reduce these problems is to use spatial analysis for the purpose of zoning its hazard and based on its results, planning and decision making can be done efficiently and effectively. The importance of this issue is more in Tehran province because of containing the capital of our country and the accumulation of assets. Therefore, in this research, Tehran province was considered as the case study. In the next step, some criteria maps such as distance to fault lines, their density, the magnificence and depth of previous earthquakes, distance to them and topographic situation of our study area were produced. Then a linear fuzzy membership function was applied for each criterion. The AHP method was used to determine weight of them and finally they were overlaid with the help of the fuzzy sum method. Tehran province was classified into three classes of law, moderate and high hazard and for each county, the percentage area of each category was determined. It shows that 70 percent of Shemirant and about 50 percent of Tehran, Firozkoh and Damavand counties were located in areas with high hazard. Manuscript profile

          Introduction: Iran is located in one of the driest land regions of the world, where water is a limiting factor for lasting life, therefore using seasonal floodwaters is very important in arid and semi arid regions. On the other hand special attention has been paid to artificial groundwater recharge in these regions. Floodwater spreading on the permeable terrain is one of the flooding control way and utilization methods. Determination of appropriate site for water spreading is one of the most important stages of this project. Material and Methods: Parameters considered in the selection of groundwater artificial recharge locations are diverse and complex. These factors consist of earth sciences (geology, geomorphology and soils), hydrology (runoff, sediment yield, infiltration and groundwater conditions) and socio-economic aspects (irrigated agriculture, flood damage mitigation, environment, job creation and so on). Hence, decision making depends on criteria of diverse nature. The goal of this study is defining a Decision Support System for floodwater site selection in Mashkid area. Four main criteria were selected in this research are floodwater characters, infiltration, water application and flood damage. In order to determining the importance of factors, Analytical hierarchy Process and GIS was used. Conclusion: It will be expected that soil texture and floodwater volume of water application and floodwater main criteria are two important factors among other criteria (Hypothesis). After providing output maps which had been defined in several scenarios to determine the best locations for floodwater spreading and finally investigates sums suitability and averages suitability of each sub basin.

        In the present study, to investigate the occurrence of land subsidence in Isfahan plain, SNAP8.0 software and radar differential interferometry technique were used. For this purpose, after processing Sentinel-1A images in the period 2019-2015, rate and intensity subsidence maps were prepared in the desired period. Also, changes in groundwater water level in the period 2002-2018, as one of the geodetic factors affecting subsidence, were studied to match the points that have subsidence. Then the output of SNAP software was studied using ArcGIS10.8, with land use layers and average water level changes and Maps of mean subsidence changes, groundwater drop, standard deviation and time of maximum subsidence were prepared. The results show the occurrence of subsidence phenomenon in areas with groundwater decline with urban use, roads and agricultural lands with a maximum rate of 14.2- 20.8 cm in the years 2018-2019. The average change represents the maximum subsidence of 9.6 cm per year, in line with the satellite line of sight, in the urban area. Also, spatial analysis of subsidence hazards at strategic points showed that the study area needs to provide the necessary warnings for the occurrence of subsidence crisis on a larger scale in the future.

        The assessment of groundwater quality in agricultural industry management is of particular importance. The decline in groundwater levels in plains due to overexploitation and drought creates many environmental problems. One of the most important of these problems is the unsuitability of groundwater quality and its undesirable effects on consumption. The aim of this research is to evaluate the quality of groundwater in Sirjan plain for agricultural use. In this study, the groundwater of Sirjan plain was classified based on 9 parameters: sulfate, bicarbonate, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sodium, total dissolved solids, and electrical conductivity. Then, a fuzzy method was used to homogenize each of the prepared layers. In order to prepare zoning maps, the method of average distance image was used for weighting the layers and preparing the final water quality map, the hierarchical process analysis method was used. The results showed that recent droughts, reduced rainfall, and extraction from groundwater sources have led to an increase in EC values from the standard value with an average of 575.6820 microsiemens and an increase in TDS values from the standard value with an average of 57.3891 milligrams per liter. Also, the water quality of approximately 55% of the study area is suitable for agriculture, and based on the total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity water quality diagrams, their concentration has made about 45% of the plain areas in the eastern and central parts unsuitable. In general, the results confirm the relationship between the examined elements in such a way that some of these elements have had a significant impact on groundwater quality Manuscript profile

        Choosing the right place to build a new shopping center is a multi-criteria decision-making problem that involves different people and opinions. In this research, geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision-making models have been used to perform some stages of spatial analysis, and then the development of a group decision support system for aggregating and selecting the final alternative has been discussed. A two-step method was proposed in this research to create limited decision-making options. In the first stage, creating standard criteria maps including five items with spatial analysis and normalization was done in ArcGIS software. According to the studies, the weight of each criterion was determined and the weighted overlapping of the layers was done. After applying the limiting options, six areas were determined to perform web-based location selection. In the second stage, a group spatial decision support system was developed. Using Visual Studio environment and C# programming language and .NET technology, a website was designed for the participation of experts in this field. In the architecture of this system, ASPMap technology, including a set of controls and map components, and location-based tools, was embedded on the server side of the program. User weighting of the criteria was done in the forms designed by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). With the help of stored procedures in a SQL Server database, the average value of each of the selected points is calculated online based on the opinions of the group. Finally, the point that had the highest value in the average of the opinions of different users was introduced as the best place to build a shopping center. The research results showed that the proposed method has high flexibility, speed, and ease in applying group opinions. Manuscript profile

        Since the most basic needs of earthquake victims is to have a shelter and that after the earthquake, we can’t quickly provide suitable places for earthquake victims, before the occurrence of such crises, we should provide appropriate places in terms of (urban accessibility, security, avoidance of risk prone areas, etc.) for such victims. Therefore, the present study is to predict the best places for temporary housing of victims of the potential earthquake in the city of Isfahan. The type of this research is practical and the method of it is analytical documentary. In this study, by using basic standards of compatible and incompatible applications, accessibility and density of population and traffic by using the method of network analysis (AHP) and the use of fuzzy logic, standards set by the experts were measured and finally by the fuzzy analysts of geographic information system (GIS) were overlapped on weight. The results of this study indicate that parts of the area with sufficient open spaces and at the same time compatible with surrounding land uses have relatively better potential for establishment of victims. In return, regions such as the northern parts of the city due to the lack of rescue and rehabilitation uses and absence of adequate and valuable planning space have the least possible capacity of planning for temporary housing of earthquake victims.

        The use of wind power plants is considered as one of the most important ways of generating electricity using renewable energies. The environmental impact of the environment is low compared to other methods and the potential for extensive exploitation, including the benefits of using wind energy in electricity production. In this regard, it is necessary to find the optimal location for deploying equipment and facilities to exploit existing and potential potentials. The purpose of this research is wind power plants site selection in Fars province using AHP and ranking the spatial options using the Vikor method. In this study, we tried to prioritize the location of wind power plants based on effective technical, environmental and socioeconomic measures using the AHP decision making model. At first, the required data were collected and prepared in the GIS environment. Then, using AHP method, the two criteria were compared and then weighted, and finally, using the Vikor method, the priority was drawn between the final locations. The results of this research show that among the criteria in the research, the technical criteria (wind speed, wind stability and wind density) are more important and have a higher weight (0.731), and the wind speed 0.594) is the most important factor. The results of the Vikor model showed that the northern and eastern regions of the Fars province have a good potential for wind energy. Abadeh, Eqlid and Neyriz are the right places to build a wind power plant in other parts of the province. Manuscript profile
