This study was undertaken using F-AHP & GIS within Nekaroud watershed in Mazandaran province. Pairwise comparisons showed that sub-criteria’s Slope (>30%), elevation (> 1700 m), distance from fault (0-200 meter), distance from river, residual land-use and precipitation (>600 mm) have high weight than others in their group which lead to increasing occurrence of landslides. In the study area much amount of lime stone was found which is effective in reducing landslide. Major parts of central areas of watershed are prone to the most dangerous and high frequency landslides, other parts of watershed classified into medium and a little part is in low danger class.
