Abstract :

Nowadays, the concept of sustainable development includes a process that promotes various economic, social, physical-environmental and technological indicators with an emphasis on the future research approach. On the other hand, the prerequisite for achieving sustainable development of a region and the comfort of citizens is the realization of security indicators, in this regard, passive defense approach is one of the most important models of achieving security and, consequently, the realization of sustainable development. Given the importance of security and its role in sustainable development, the purpose of this study is to assess the capacity of sustainable development in Lavasanat region based on passive defense criteria. The research method of the present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature, which in order to analyze the data, Q factor analysis model and one-sample t-test were used. The statistical population of the study also includes officials, managers and experts in the field of passive defense of Lavasanat region and its residents. The sample size of the first group of 100 people was determined based on the Delphi method and the sample size of 384 residents was determined based on the Cochran method. Findings show that the study area from the perspective of sustainable development based on the passive defense approach has major shortcomings in various environmental, social-caltural, economic, physical, access and management dimensions. In this regard, based on the Q model, has been proposed three patterns of systematic and integrated management, environmental protection and emphasis on indigenous-traditional pattern and economic and social planning in order to achieve sustainable development of the region based on passive defense approach, which their specific values are 3.714, 2.285 and 1.649, respectively.
