Flood is one of the most frequent and costly natural disasters, and the financial and human losses caused by it every year affect a wide range of countries, especially Iran. Therefore, one of the fields of research to control flood risks is to identify the flooding points of the region. For this reason, the aim of the current research is to identify flood-prone areas in Barzak-e-Kashan basin using DEMATEL-AHP and SVM models. For this purpose, 100 flooding points were identified and recorded during field visits. In the following, 12 factors affecting the occurrence of flood including precipitation, lithology, land use, distance from stream, slope, drainage density, topographic position index, topographic wetness index, topographic roughness index, stream power index, curve number and runoff coefficient were selected for preparing maps of flood-prone areas and their layers were prepared in ArcGIS 10.7.1 and SAGA GIS softwares’ environment. The results showed that the precipitation component with the highest weight equal to 0.211 is the most effective variable on flooding and the runoff coefficient is the most influential factor and has the most relationship with other factors. Also, according to AUC=0.859, the AHP efficiency was evaluated very well and the SVM accuracy was good (AUC= 0.751) in validation phase. The map of flood-prone area also showed that the north, northwest, and west lands of Barzak basin have the highest potential for flooding. The results of the present research can be used as a road map for managers and policy makers to manage flood.

EXTENDED ABSTRACT
Flood is one of the most frequent and costly natural disasters and their frequency has been on the rise in recent years not only in developing countries, but also worldwide. The financial, economic and human losses caused by flood every year affect a wide range of countries, particularly Iran. Therefore, one of the research fields to control and mitigate flood risks is the identification of flood-prone areas in the region.
For this reason, the aim of the current research is to identify flood-prone areas in the Barzak-e-Kashan basin using the DEMATEL-AHP and SVM models.
For this purpose, 100 flooding points were identified and recorded during field visits. In the following, 12 factors affecting the occurrence of flood including precipitation, lithology, land use, distance from the stream, slope, drainage density, topographic position index (TPI), topographic wetness index (TWI), topographic roughness index (TRI), stream power index (SPI), curve number and runoff coefficient were selected for preparing maps of flood-prone areas and their layers were prepared in ArcGIS 10.7.1 and SAGA GIS software environment.
According to the results obtained from the implementation of the AHP model, the factors affecting flooding, are ranked in order from the lowest to the highest weight as follows, the stream power index (0.013), topographic roughness index (0.014), topographic wetness index (0.018), topographic position index (0.019), drainage density (0.056), slope (0.063), distance from the stream (0.083), land use (0.094), runoff coefficient (0.124), curve number (0.147), lithology (0.159) and precipitation (0.211). This indicates that precipitation component with the weight to 0.211 is the most influential variable on flooding. The results of the DEMATEL method also support this, showing that precipitation with the highest weight (0.211) is the most effective and influential parameter among other components. Additionally, the runoff coefficient with the weight equal to 0.124 is the most influential and has the most relationship with other factors. Also, according to the area under the ROC curve (AUC=0.859), the AHP model was evaluated to be very well and efficient in the validation stage. Also, the SVM accuracy was good (AUC= 0.751) in validation phase. The final flood zoning maps of Barzak basin using AHP and SVM models also confirm that the southern, southwestern, and southeastern parts of the basin have low to very low sensitivity to flooding, while the northern, northwest and west parts have moderate to very high sensitivity to flooding.
Flood is one of the most important natural crises. This phenomenon causes soil erosion, and landslide and has destructive effects on the environment for which a solution must be found. To prevent the harmful effects of flood, changes cannot be made in atmospheric factors and elements, and a scientific and principled solution must be found for it in basins. One of the ways to control flood risks is to identify flood critical points and the necessity of land use management, because the lack of sufficient knowledge of flood critical points leads to mismanagement and heavy financial and human losses because of flood. Therefore, it is essential to prepare a zoning map and determine potential flood areas in basins, especially study basin. As a result, the findings of this research can be used as a road map for executive managers and urban policymakers to manage flood.
