Abstract :

The attractiveness of key assets for the enemy does not have the same value, therefore, according to their leveling, the possibility of threats is considered. The purpose of this research will be focusing on the case study of Qazviny. The type of research is applied and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the tools of information gathering are library studies, interviews and questionnaires, which were selected as a statistical sample by using a targeted sampling of 50 experts. The method of information analysis for the leveling of assets was through the guidelines for the leveling of centers of gravity approved by the inactive defense organization and the assessment of the value of assets was also through the FEMA technique. The research results in the stratification section show that Qazvin Karaj Freeway, Shahid Rajaei Power Plant, Qazvin 16th Armored Division, Northwest Radio Communications Directorate, Chicken Ajdad Barkat Company are among assets with sensitive surface and Qazvin Governorate, Qazvin Governorate , Imam Khomeini International University, Shahid Rajaei Hospital and Qazvin Railway Station are among assets with an important level, and in the asset evaluation section, Shahid Rajaei Power Plant with a score of 9/33, Qazvin Governorate with a score of 7/96 respectively. Chicken Ajdad Barkat Company with 7/33, Qazvin Governorship with 6/84, Qazvin 16th Armored Division with 6/8, Shahid Rajaei Hospital with 6/17, Imam Khomeini International University with 5/88, Qazvin Railway Station with 5/75, General Directorate of Northwest Radio Communications with 5/5 and Qazvin Karaj Freeway with 5/48 are of high value.
