Floods are natural disasters that occur frequently in our country due to changing climate conditions in recent years. As a consequence of floods, many losses of lives and property happen. In this study, geographical causes of the flood are examined, which occurred on June 18, 2019, in Araklı district of Trabzon located in Eastern Black Sea Region where floods take place regularly. This flood caused the death of 10 people and the destruction of many dwellings in Çamlıktepe and Yüceyurt neighbourhoods of Araklı district. In the Karadere Stream Basin where the flood took place, areas being sensitive to floods were determined by making risk analysis of potential floods. Disaster reports, numerical altitude, meteorological, geological and flow data related to this field were used in the study. As a method, the Analytical Hierarchy Process, which is a method of Multiple Criteria Decision Making method, was employed in the study. For the flood sensitivity analysis, maps were produced by using three different techniques created by adding different parameters to existing methods. According to results of the analysis, Araklı city centre, some regions of the Karadere River banks and the area where the Haliloğlu and Gülbekli rivers cross were identified as the most sensitive areas to floods. The area where the Haliloğlu and Gülbekli rivers cross constitutes the main centre of the flood occurred on June 18, 2019. In addition, landslide incidents that took place together with the flood on the field increased the effectiveness of the flood and caused mudflow formation. Results of the analysis and experiences show that the probability of flood occurrence is high in the field. Therefore, it is expected that local administrators and decision makers take this study into account to prevent possible negative outcomes.
