Abstract
Man-made-hostile threats (the subject of passive defense science) have a special place among the wide range of threats that are directed at humans and the built environment; While in most natural threats, it is not possible to fully depreciate the threat, in man-made-hostile threats, due to the human origin and the autonomy of the individual or human communities in making decisions and actions, it is possible to effectively reduce the damage and even depreciate. And there is a complete removal of the threat. From this point of view, the set of measures and measures to face this category of threats under the general title of "non-functional defense science" is of special importance. Considering the wide range of threats, the current research tries to find scientific and sustainable solutions in the face of man-made-hostile threats related to the profession of environmental designer (architecture - Urbanization) extract and explain by focusing on the planning stage. This study, using descriptive-analytical method, first defines the strategies with the tools of library study and interviews, and then analyzes the relationships between them using the method cross impact analysis and MIC MAC. In the matrix of direct effects, the variable "law/local democracy" has the highest ratio of influence to influence. Also, among the measured variables, the most influential is related to "discourse", the least influential is related to "attention to minorities", the most influential is related to "dynamism/political-cultural rethinking" and "discourse" and the least influential is related to "law/ It is local democracy.
