Abstract
Every year, a significant portion of the country's credits and financial resources are allocated to investment in civil and infrastructural projects. Risk management can prevent cost escalation and assist in completing projects within the designated time and budget. This study aims to identify factors contributing to the lack of implementation of risk management in small-scale civil projects in the city of Abadan. The research utilizes a descriptive method for data collection and employs exploratory factor analysis and TOPSIS analytical methods to identify and prioritize the factors. The results indicate that the influential factors in the lack of implementing risk management include four main elements (technical risk barriers, project management and leadership obstacles, construction risk barriers, financial risk barriers), among which the option of insufficient knowledge of the contractor has priority over other options.
