In this research, geographic information system (GIS) and AHP technique were used for zoning flood risk villages that showed the criterion of earth slope with the weight of 0.280 was the most important factor and the criteria for the point of concentration and height of each with weights of 0.224 and 0.150 were studied from the main factors of incident and flood occurrence in the range. Data collected from residents' questionnaires were performed using descriptive statistics indices such as frequency distribution and inferential statistical tests such as single sample T-test, Chi-square, and Kruskal Wallis. Overall, the results show that the resilience of the studied villages is moderate. However, the resilience of the villages is different; So that the villages of Varzgar from the social and infrastructural perspective and the village of Ali Abad from the economic perspective are the most resilient.
