AbstractClimate change and geographical factors and geographical location on earth have their own precipitation and fluctuations. The geographical features of the place are one of the influencing factors on the rainfall of each region. Also, the role of environmental variables in the amount and distribution of precipitation is undeniable, especially in mountainous areas. Flood vulnerability varies over time and from one region to another, which is due to special natural conditions, human activities, and the risk culture of the society exposed to damage. The effects of environmental factors on climatic elements have caused the increasing use of statistical techniques in climatic studies. Therefore, in the current research, climate change and effective geographical factors in urban floods in Yazd province.In this study, 9 factors of slope, direction of slope, height, network of waterways, rainfall areas, vegetation map, soil map, land use were identified as effective factors for causing floods in the regions. Then the information layers were prepared in the Gis environment. Conclusion According to the conducted research and observations of climate change and geographical factors of the study area, the results show that among the effective factors in causing floods in the study area, the factors of height, slope, amount of rainfall, water network and land use, respectively, are the most important causes of flooding in the region. that the studied area is in a very high-risk category, and the results of the study indicate the high potential of the area in terms of flood risk due to geographical
