The Development of Passive Defense Culture for the Nation’s Security

Nowadays, wars and conflicts are badly mixed with the lives of human communities, and in many cases it seems there is no way out of them. This is while methods, regulations and principles of war, have changed dramatically given that the bulk of facilities, capabilities, and knowledge are always under constant change in any country. In the current situation, passive defense is but an indispensable part of any warfare, in a way that many pioneering countries in the field of military instruments and technology, say Switzerland, have paid a lot of attention to to passive defense parallel to development of advanced technological and intelligent military systems. They have done their best to develop the culture of passive defense in their countries. On this basis, the importance of working on passive defense for countries that are not able to make state-of-the-art military technology is even more essential. Therefore, the topic “The Role of Developing the Passive Defense Culture in the National Scale in Comparison with that of Switzerland” was chosen for this research. The research paper aims at assessing and determining the role passive defense plays in the IR of Iran. This is a descriptive- comparative research. The results of statistical analyses show that the culture of executing passive defense nad observing its principles throughout the country has a long way to go.
