Abstract

This study seeks to investigate the security-defense status in the coastal area of southern Iran from the west of Hormozgan province to the east of Sistan and Baluchestan province (Chabahar and Konarak cities). The Descriptive-analytical research method has been used in this research. The required data have been gathered from land management documents and the Statistical Center of Iran. 53 indicators have been used in different natural, environmental, cultural, social, economic, and residential dimensions to measure the security-defense status of the studied area. The findings of the research indicate that the security-defense plan requires an integrated and systematic look at the natural and human threats inside and outside the borders. The modeling of the affecting defense-security elements in the studied area showed that the roots of sustainable security and powerful defense lie in geographical and human characteristics; Also, the study of the geographical and socio-economic characteristics of the southern coasts of Hormozgan and Sistan and Baluchistan showed that the lack of stable security and defense of the land was accompanied by the lack of balance in development and the backwardness of some of the desired criteria and indicators.
