Abstract: Since
this study focuses on exploring the relationship between the variables, it is a
correlation type and because of discovering the effective cause(s) of incidence
is among the scientific studies. This research is a field study since the
residents and local experts were referred for identifying the amount of
economic-social losses and the information is collected through the
questionnaire. Thus it can be stated generally that the methods used in this
thesis are among the descriptive-analytical, correlative-scientific and field
techniques. Geographically, the studied area (Nimrud basin) is located in the
North East of Tehran in southern hillside of Central Alborz Mountains and is
one of the sub-basins of Hablerud. It has five sub-basins namely Qazqanchay -
Farrokhrud - Saleh Bon - Shahrabad - Omrak and the area of this region is
812.7km2 and is selected for sampling and adaptation on the one
hand and for comparing the floodsusceptibility data on the other hand. In this
study, three following main hypotheses have been examined: The flood in
this area causes the negative social consequences; the flood in this area has
the negative and economic consequences, and finally the flood control in this
area is effective by using the structural and non-structural or traditional-new
methods. Student's t hypothesis test has been used in order to evaluate the
results. In this research, it is concluded that the above hypotheses are
confirmed based on the field research and the results of calculations. On this
basis, finally the suggestions have been proposed.
