The article analyzes the scientific and methodological foundations for studying the mudflow hazard in the country between Dzegamchay rivers in the Azerbaijan part of the Lesser Caucasus. With the use of modern GIS technologies, analysis of statistical materials, mapping, field research and other methods, the threat of destruction of residential areas has been identified. In addition, based on the principle of basin analysis, using the method of comparative analysis of statistical facts, the influence of mudflows on the territorial organization of economy is studied, on the basis of which economic and geographical conditions are analyzed in detail and the mudflow threat is assessed.
