Abstract

Today's, Meta-analysis has a prominent place in fields of study. The use of the results of various research findings for planning of a part of society or the whole of it is one of the most important factors that have made this type of study important. The issue of security is one of the important issues in our society, especially in boundary cities, that has received a great deal of research.  In this regard, the preliminary investigation of order and security of boundary cities, reveals that researches conducted in the applied Research Office of Sistan and Baluchestan Disciplinary Command are very dispersed. The importance of this topic and the scattered researches in this area led the researcher to provide a regular formulation of these studies and to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the research in this field. Therefore, this study intends to provide the diagnostic study of the scientific status of the researches in the field of order and security of the boundary cities in applied Research Office of Sistan and Baluchestan Disciplinary Command and summarize and analyze the nature and quality of them in the 2008-2018. This meta-analytic study has been conducted to meet the needs using qualitative and quantitative methods. In this research, the observation and analysis unit of the research is any research document (research project, thesis, book and conference articles). The statistical unit of the study is consisted of 73 cases including 18 research projects, 8 theses, 5 books and 42 conference papers conducted in applied Research Office of Sistan and Baluchestan Disciplinary Command 2008-2018. CMA-2 and SPSS software were used to analyze the collected data. The results show that the most important challenge in this area is the most researches on "security" have been studied in general, without attempting to study the conceptual and theoretical implications of the various types of security.  In addition, almost all of the meta-analysis research was based on quantitative research methods (especially survey).
