In this study, the surface water collection systems of districts 10 and 11 of Mashhad were modeled and evaluated using risk analysis. Sub-basins were also ranked in order to locate the implementation of low impact development (LID) practices. The results showed that although the collection system has no particular problem with floods with a two- year return period, it does not have a suitable capacity for floods with a higher return period, so that for floods with 5 and 50 years of return period, it has 80 percent discharge capacity of surface runoff and in these year returns, 29.1 and 38.2 percent of the canals, respectively, face waterlogging and back flow.In order to final ranking of the sub-basin for prioritizing the location of LID practices, in addition to risk analysis, the sub-basins were classified based on economic priorities, social conditions and land use. The final ranking that 6.6% of the studied sub-basins, which includes 22.8% of the study area are in groups 4 and 5 (the highest Priority). Ranking puts areas with high flood risk under pressure to accept LID control and make an investment in it, as well as benefits areas where are at lower risk of flooding but are more likely to implement LID practices and invest in them.

The complexity of the urban environment makes it difficult to consider all the vulnerable components of the urban. Hence, decision-making in urban environments is one of the most important issues in modern management. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate the urban vulnerability of Azimiyeh in Karaj to flood based on multi-criteria decision-making method. The statistical population includes specialists who had sufficient knowledge and experience in the field of vulnerability management in urban areas. To this research, first, comprehensive knowledge of the factors affecting the urban vulnerability to floods was obtained using library studies, and then, the results of the Delphi technique, , was shown that among the primary indices, a total of 11 effective indicators were selected and a map of each of them was prepared using ArcGIS software. Then, the urban vulnerability to floods was calculated using the TOPSIS method. The study area was divided into 13 sub-areas based on runoff directional pattern and field observations, and then the decision matrix was made according to 13 sub-areas and 11 indicators. The results showed the vulnerability of this region to floods, which among the studied sub-areas, in sub-areas No. 1 and 2 observed the highest of flood vulnerability and the lowest of it observed in sub-area No. 13. Causes of flood vulnerability in the region include a direct connection to the upstream catchment that has lithology impermeable and geologically impermeable, high-density of building and population, and lack of proportionate open spaces.
