Security is also considered as the most important prerequisite for achieving sustainable development indicators. Given the importance of the role of security in sustainable regional development, the purpose of this study is to identify the challenges facing sustainable development in Lavasanat region by emphasizing passive defense criteria. In this regard, the method is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of analytical-exploratory nature that in order to analyze the information, has been used the technique of structural equation modeling in Amos software. The statistical population of the study also includes officials, managers and experts in the field of passive defense of Lavasanat region and the sample size is determined based on the targeted Delphi method of 100 people. Findings show that the most important challenges facing sustainable regional development with emphasis on passive defense criteria in Lavasanat region are managerial, environmental, development and socio-cultural variables, respectively, whose coefficient value based on the structural model is 0.81, 0.75, 0.68 and 0.52. Also, among the sub-variables, the most important challenges are related to the variables of lack of integrated management and planning system in the regional management process and failure in inter-organizational communication in order to maximize the participation of related organizations, excessive environmental degradation for profitability, belief and use of traditional models. Acceptance of culture is a new model of management for which the structural model coefficient has been calculated 0.91, 0.89 and 0.83, respectively. Manuscript profile

        The purpose ofthis research is toinvestigate the indirect relationships of regional sustainable development variables, cooperation and social capacity.In this research, the Analytical Hierarchy(AHP)method has been used.Because this method isbased onthe opinions of experts;Inthe sample selection process ofthis study, the opinions of 32experts and university administrators were used to analyze the information andcomplete the questionnaire.Inorder todetermine thecriteria andsub-criteria affecting the relationships between the variables of regional sustainable development, cooperation andsocial capacity, first a series ofprimary criteria have been identified based on library research and then finalized through interviews with experts inthis field. These criteria are classified into10 main criteria and 32 sub-criteria.In this study, the tool proposed by Mr. Thomas L.Saati was used for judging in AHP and for building hierarchical tree from Super decision software. The results indicate that the roles of cooperative directly and indirectly affect the social capacity.The findings showed that the participation ability factor in the social capacity criteria, the external factors index in the cooperation role criteria, and the social justice criterion in the regional sustainable development criteria are in the first place of effectiveness.Ifso, social capacity has a positive and meaningful relationship withregional sustainable development, which indicates a positive and meaningful relationship between the dimensions ofregional sustainable development and cooperation.Therefore, it is suggested; The grounds for creating a cooperative culture to facilitate cooperative activities should be provided.Also,the conditions forthe dynamism and proper efficiency ofcooperatives in orderto increase capital through consultation with members, proper trust building between members and institutionalization of cooperative activities should be done.
