Abstract :

Spatial planning in border areas in Iran because of long borders and settling more than half ofthe provinces in the country's international borders with neighbouring countries play particular role in the planningsystem. This article aims to clarify the position of border areas spatial planning in the country planning system,identifying its elements, elucidating how these elements relate to other elements, as well as explaining the importanceand urgency of addressing border areas planning. Southeast region of Iran, particularly Konarak to Guater Gulf, whichdue to underdevelopment and drugs issues urgently needs to spatial planning, review as the case study. According tothe importance of this district in soil and water boundaries of Iran, passive defence approach is examined in spatialplanning. This paper tries to explain spatial planning in mentioned border area in the framework of passive defencestrategy by using descriptive analytical research method. On this basis, according to the features and potentials ofthe study area and with emphasis on the growth poles strategy, plans with increasing the development capacity andpromoting the area's security(passive defence) In four dimension economic, cultural, management and physical.
