Extended Abstract

Introduction

The link between crises and security in geographic spaces is the most important reason for the study of crises. During the 21st century, the changes and developments were found to be significant in the type and form of crises. Thus, today's world is seeing crises more rooted and more fundamental than the past, which not only control them in limited spaces and systems of sovereignty, but also in different ways. He said that he has become a global crisis and has emerged to form new forms of local, national, regional and even global crises. Due to the high importance of these basic crises in the security of societies and at different levels of local, national, regional and global, this article attempts to identify the most important and fundamental  crises. By identifying these basic crises, it will provide the context for planning and developing strategies for dealing with them for security at a variety of local, national, regional and global levels.

Theoretical Framework

The term security as a general concept encompasses all aspects and dimensions of human life and is linked to the survival of the soul and the preservation of human life and existence. Indeed, security is a guarantee of the life and survival of humans and living beings. All creatures are in the struggle for their survival and healthy life, and security is the key to provide this vital need. Depending on the variables and factors affecting the survival and healthy human life, security has different dimensions. In other words, the preservation of existence, the healthy and peaceful life of humans is dependent on providing all their material and spiritual needs, which if not provided or there is a defect in supplying it, healthy life and human existence are challenged and threatened. Therefore, the immediate need for security and its concept in the human mind is formed in relation to the needs encountered with a bottleneck. From a systemic view, the crisis is thus defined as a situation that disrupts the order of the main system or parts of it, which is called a sub system, and disrupts its stability. In other words, a crisis is a situation that creates a sudden change in one or more parts of the system's variables, but it cannot be exactly claimed that a systemic crisis will change the situation.

Methodology

The main method of this study, based on its theoretical nature, is descriptive-analytical. Based on this, in this research, in addition to accurately illustrating the concept of research security, it has been attempted to elaborate and explain the basic crises of the 21st century. To gather information in this research, library and internet resources have been used.

Findings and Discussion

During recent decades, the flow of developments and changes indicate that a geographical space at different scales from local to world has undergone extensive changes. In many ways, these transformations have encountered geographic spaces or, in general, the world with various crises. The recognition and management of the emerging crises directly related to the community security requires an attitude of research security. Having this attitude, the attitude of research security to issues over the last decade, is one of the urgent requirements that scientific and practical societies must progress towards in order to reduce and manage issues and future crises in a way. In order to achieve this goal, the recognition of basic crises is the first step which communities have encountered with during this century. In this sense, the present study has attempted to discuss and analyze the most important crises facing human societies. And the initial step was to recognize the entry into the research safety issues. In various sources, the studies carried out by the researchers have shown that although today's societies are confronted with several crises such as war, climate change, terrorism, etc., the most important and basic emerging crises of human societies, which has a prominent position in order to organize them in different ways in geographic spaces, includes six crises: climate change, food, water, energy, forest, and sustainable cities.
These six crises in the present century provide the basis for the challenges and challenges of human societies in different levels and spaces, and provide the basis for shaping conflicts, conflicts and, in other words, other crises in different geographic areas. It should be noted that these crises interact and interact with each other and affect each other and affect each other. In general, it can be mentioned that if investigative security as a special study area in the context of the 21st century crisis affects geographic spaces in different ways and can provide the optimum space for organizing, it must be able to speak in different ways in the basic arena. According to this, recognizing these six basic crises can be the first step in moving towards achieving the basic purpose of the field of investigative security studies.
