Fluctuations in temperature are more or less influenced by teleconnections. The aim of this study is to investigate the simultaneous role of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation with Quasi-Biennial Oscillation on the winter season temperature in Iran. For this purpose, the temperature data of 100 meteorological stations were used in the statistical period of 1988-2019. Correlation coefficients between QBO, NAO, and AO teleconnections data were calculated with monthly temperature. Then the possible states for the simultaneous occurrence of the teleconnection patterns were determined and the temperature anomaly for the determined states was analyzed by drawing a diagram and a map in the GIS environment. The results showed that there is an inverse and significant correlation between the positive QBO phases and February temperature in most of the northern and western regions, so the highest correlation coefficient was calculated at Ilam station as -0.81. An inverse and significant correlation was observed between NAO and especially AO cycles with northern and western half temperatures, especially in January and February. The simultaneous occurrence of the negative (positive) phases of NAO and AO with the negative (positive) phases of QBO causes the occurrence of higher than normal (normal and lower than normal) temperatures in the western (eastern) half so that the warmest winters of the statistical period happened during the simultaneous occurrence of negative NAO, AO, and QBO phases. On the other hand, the simultaneous occurrence of neutral QBO phases with positive NAO and AO phases causes normal and lower-than-normal temperatures in most regions except the southern and southeastern parts of Iran, contrary to this situation, the simultaneity of QBO neutral phases with NAO and AO negative phases has caused the absence of severe temperature anomalies and the possibility of higher than normal temperatures with high intensity is unlikely.

Measuring the quality of the urban living environment is the first step in managing it. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the quality of the urban environment in four neighborhoods of District 17 of Tehran Municipality as examples of inefficient fabrics in the south of Tehran. 55 indexes are used. The data of 29 indexes were obtained from statistical documents and sources, and the rest were obtained through surveys. According to Cochran's model, a sample of 378 household heads out of f 28235 households heads who are residing in the studied neighborhoods were selected randomly to answer the questions of the questionnaire. The documentary data, are adapted to the survey data in the range from 1 to 5 considering the Iranian standard ranges. The state of the quality of environment for each index is stated as a percentage of favorable conditions. Findings indicate the unfavorable state of the quality of the environment in the studied area. 11 environmental indicators show a relatively better state so they have almost 50% of favorable conditions. The physical structure in all the studied neighborhoods is lacking in terms of allocating land to public and service uses. Moghadam neighborhood shows the lowest and Boloorsazi neighborhood shows the highest environmental quality in all the dimensions. To improve the quality of the environment, it is recommended to accelerate the renovation of the urban fabric by faciliating the regulations and using the space that will be obtained from undermining the railway that passes across the neighborhoods.

Management is the coordination of material and human resources to achieve goals, and many other definitions have added words such as increasing efficiency, directing, and combining science and art to the above definitions. But it can be said that there is a common point in all of them that they mentioned the management of financial and human resources together. This is while the management of financial resources exists on its own and has many uses, and it may be related to the management of human resources. On the other hand, management is a technique as well as a skill with experience in order to organize the affairs of a system, and the concept of supervision comes to mind. However, in another statement from Mintzberg's point of view, management has a different definition, he believes. who equates management with the responsibility of a group and says: "A manager, according to my definition, is someone who is responsible for the entire organization or a separate and identifiable part of the organization. With all that has been said about management and its different definitions in It has been stated in different cultures that management, while applying its management conditions, must also have sufficient management skills to be able to use their skills to successfully apply their experiences in the field of management. Therefore, some managers in villages and rural settlements are Their management practices are based on local knowledge as well as acquired knowledge from government education and they make extra efforts to improve the conditions of the villages under their supervision. Accordingly, a successful manager with rural skills is a manager who is familiar with the rules of management in the village. It makes the necessary use of the opinions and experiences of others in this field in order to provide the best possible conditions for the excellence and growth of the rural settlement. The nearby settlements should surpass themselves and the settlement itself should be transformed into a first-class rural settlement with excellent quality and growth rate with the skillful thoughts of the local manager. This is important in remote villages and villages adjacent to cities. and cities are also trying to train local managers with a sustainable development approach in order to achieve happiness and human well-being in rural areas, the results of which in the past years indicate that this practice and program has been successful. Therefore, this important point should be pointed out. It is necessary for the successful performance of managers at different levels to have management skills. Therefore, local rural managers with management skills can guide rural management towards the new goals of sustainable development.

The aim of the present research was to measure the possession of management skills by local managers and it was able to achieve new research results by measuring different indicators in the researched case sample. He also pointed out that on this basis, this research is applied research in terms of its purpose, and descriptive-analytical in terms of its implementation method. Regarding the collection of standard data, during the process of conducting the research, for data collection Library and field studies have been used in the target community which is Karat village of Taibad city. The sample size studied using Cochran's formula was 350 households in 9 rural areas of Karat village in Taibad city.

In the present research, the results showed that there is a significant difference between the studied villages of Taibad County, Karat Dehistan, in terms of having management skills. Also, the results of Friedman's test showed that the share of social skills of rural managers with an average of 4.21 is higher compared to other skills among the studied villages and has a different share compared to other skill measurement indicators. In the continuation of the examination and comparison of management skills between two groups of local managers (Shura and Dehiar), the present research showed that the average of the two groups of local managers in having management skills does not have a significant difference.

Finally, the results of the Vaikor decision making model showed that the managers of Koh Abad village and Farman Abad village were ranked first and last in terms of having management skills compared to other studied villages and provided better conditions in obtained in the statistical community. With this description of the situation of the management skills of the two villages that got the most points, the research shows that the two villages of Koh Abad and Farman Abad have the least challenges in terms of their management skill.

Water is an element whose presence is necessary for economic development, food production, improvement of living standards and health, survival of living organisms, etc. Lack of access to fresh water endangers food security and social and economic well-being. As one of the dry and semi-arid countries of the world in the Middle East region, Iran is one of the countries facing water shortage. Due to the rapid growth of the urban population, the quantitative and physical growth of industries, industrialization, and traditional agriculture that consumes a lot of water in Iran has created many hydro-political and environmental challenges. Being located in the arid and semi-arid region of the south of the country, Bushehr province receives a large part of its water needs from the water resources of the neighboring provinces of Fars, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad, with successive droughts and little and irregular rainfall, thus it is facing a water challenge. Due to the existing conditions and the reduction of water resources in the neighboring provinces, there is a possibility of water cuts and conflicts, and hydro-political tensions within and outside the province. The lack of water, in addition to its effect on economic security and the creation of local and regional tensions, has faced a problem in the development process of this province and has led to the emergence of various insecurities in the province. It is predicted that if this trend continues, the province will face more hydro-political challenges in the future. The present study aims to present a fitting model of hydro-political challenges surrounding the economic security of Bushehr province. This research seeks to answer the question: Is the empirically reproduced pattern of hydro political challenges surrounding the economic security of Bushehr province adequate?

In terms of the purpose, the present research is applied in terms of exploratory nature and in terms of mixed data, which means that in the qualitative phase of the research, semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of water and political geography, as well as indirect observation (reading of texts) were used. In the quantitative phase of the research, a survey study was used to collect data. Then, based on the organized themes of the qualitative phase, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed in the form of a five-point Likert scale, and after validation and reliability, 165 experts in the field of water and political geography of Bushehr province were selected using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. completed Finally, after coding, the research data were extracted and tested and interpreted using SPSS26 and Smart PLS statistical software in two sections, descriptive analysis and inferential analysis.

The findings of the research have been made in two parts, qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative part, after analyzing the texts and semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of water and political geography, they have been analyzed, after the discovery and calculation of the conceptual model of the components of the hydropolitical challenges of Bushehr province, as well as the economic security indicators of Bushehr province, have been drawn. In the quantitative part, the data obtained from the questionnaire resulting from the qualitative phase of the research, which were distributed among the experts of the investigated organizations in Bushehr province; After coding, they were extracted and transferred to SPSS26 and Smart PLS software and analyzed and interpreted in two parts: descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The independent variable of hydropolitical challenges of Bushehr province with 45.466 (with a test average or cut-off line of 36) and the dependent variable of economic security indicators with 80.392 (with a test average or cut-off line of 63) is above the average level, and therefore it indicates that The amount of hydropolitical challenges in Bushehr province is relatively high; Because this rate is higher than the standard level determined based on the total number of measured questions. The second and third hypotheses of the research have been confirmed at the error level of 0.01. But the first hypothesis considering that the T test value is below 1.96; Not confirmed.

The descriptive findings of the research show that the independent variable of the hydropolitical challenges of  Bushehr province is the average of 45.466 and its dimensions include extra-provincial hydropolitical challenges with an average of 6.406 and intra-provincial hydropolitical challenges with an average of 39.060 and the dependent variable of economic security indicators with an average of 80.3925 in the studied statistical population are higher than the test average or the cut-off line. Therefore, they are not in a favorable situation, because their level is higher than the standard level determined based on the total number of questions measured by the variables. The inferential findings of the research also show; the first hypothesis of the research "there is a significant effect between extra-provincial hydropolitical challenges and the economic security of the province" according to its T value of 0.848 is less than 1.96 and its significance level is greater than 0.05, so this hypothesis is rejected. The second hypothesis of the research "there is a significant effect between hydropolitical challenges within the province and the economic security of the province" its T value is 3.220 which is greater than 2.58. Therefore, its significance level is smaller than 0.01. As a result, the second hypothesis is confirmed. The third hypothesis of the research "there is a significant effect between extra-provincial hydropolitical challenges and intra-provincial hydropolitical challenges" and its T value is equal to 3.04, which shows that its significance level is smaller than 0.01. As a result, the third hypothesis is also confirmed. Therefore, according to the goodness of fit of this model, which is equal to 0.198, the general hypothesis of the research that the model of the effect of the hydropolitical challenges of Bushehr province on the economic prosperity of the province has the required fit, is confirmed.

Relationship between countries in the world system is affected by various factors. The study of the theories of different thinkers, suggests that the relationship between powers and states is formed by based on many components and variables, In the meantime Geographical and geopolitical elements are important substrates for the formation of geopolitics relations at regional, trans-regional and global levels, Therefore the importance of geopolitical relations in advancing the goals and policies of countries and geographical areas is undeniable Because how countries and powers influence and benefit from their peripheral developments, in addition to their national power and their regional situation, depends largely on the geographical and geopolitical realities, the type of relationships and the quality of their interactions with other actors. Given this importance, the present article, with a critical approach while expressing the geographical and geopolitical components in the aforementioned theories, seeks to identify and investigate the function of new geographical and geopolitical factors in shaping different types of geopolitics relations and to provide a comprehensive model for explaining the geopolitics pattern of relations. Among the mentioned levels, the regional level is more important. Among the mentioned models: interactive, competitive relations, dominance relations, influence relations, are the result of the thoughts of experts in different eras, and the geopolitical stability and continuity relation is one of the achievements of the present research . The results of the research findings indicate that new factors and elements are involved in the formation of geopolitics relations Which in addition to geographical and geostrategic conditions The is on the geoeconomic components, geopolitics of resource, geopolitics of identity, geopolitics of tourism, geopolitics of globalization and the geopolitics of cyberspace between regions and countries emphasize.

The current research aims to explain; The degree of diversification of economic activities has been done in increasing the economic and social resilience of touristic villages of Rasht county against the disease of Kovid-19. The current research is practical in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and methodology, and SPSS and GIS software were used to analyze the data. The corona virus was reported by the World Health Organization in China in early January 2020. The virus spread rapidly in the Wuhan region of China. Following the crisis of the spread of the corona virus in different parts of the world, its spread was officially confirmed on 17 February 2020 by the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education. In Iran, with the spread of the Corona virus, the number of tourists decreased by 90 percent compared to previous years. Tourism in all the cities and villages of Iran has caused a lot of irreparable damage during the Corona era, and the highest damage estimate was related to touristic villages. The results of sample t-test and Spearman's correlation showed that diversification of economic activities at a significance level of 0.000 has a great impact on increasing the economic and social resilience of touristic villages. Also, in order to categorize the level of economic and social resilience in each of the Districts of Rasht county, focusing on the diversity of economic activities, standard deviation was used. The results showed that the state of economic and social resilience after From the point of view of council members and villagers, it is desirable to create diversity of economic activities in all the studied Districts of Rasht county.

Spatial analysis of crime is one of the important subjects of crime geography. The occurrence of crimes in time and place follows certain rules. Studying the temporal and spatial correlation of crime can provide more useful clues for crime analysis and help discover potential crime patterns. Theft, as one of the crimes against property, occurs frequently in the daily life of the people of the society, which has a serious destructive effect on the social order. The selection of the place of the crime has gained a lot of influence in the last two decades. This region is currently a concern for city managers, police, and judicial officials; Therefore, identifying polluted and crime-prone areas, obtaining information on them, and having efficient policing strategies in the field of preventing, dealing with, and fighting crime is of great importance in creating order and security in these centers and, as a result, improving the quality of life of citizens. The spatial location of crime hotspots, district 14 of Tehran city, the most important physical characteristics or effective spatial factors, encouraging or facilitating the crimes committed and the detection of environmental factors, background factors are investigated and analyzed using spatial statistics, and solutions can also be provided to prevent and reduce them. Therefore, the purpose of the current research, in addition to the spatial and spatial analysis of crimes, is to analyze the trend of changes in the time series of crimes of theft of places and residential areas in different seasons of the year in the 6th police station of 14th district of Tehran. The basic question of this research is based on the principle that in the spatial analysis of theft crimes of places and residential areas of Tehran's 14th district in different seasons of the year, what is the pattern of time series and its spatial changes ?

The current research has been used in terms of practical purpose and spatial and spatial analysis approach. In terms of the nature of collecting and analyzing graphic and statistical data, it is considered quantitative. GIS, SPSS, and Excel software have been used to collect information for the analysis of graphic data and statistics in urban crime centers. The statistical population for the investigation of crime hotspots is from the crime statistics of Fateb's 6th Chief Constable and all the numbers between the years 2013 -2017. In this research, from the statistical point of view, first, the minimum and maximum datas of theft crimes in the 14th district of Tehran city were discussed, then the average crimes and deviation from the standard of theft crimes were analyzed using SPSS 22 software. Mann-Kendall test was used to check the possible deviation and the type and time of change in the data of theft crimes. To estimate the real slope of a trend in a time series, using the non-parametric Sen, 's method can be one of the appropriate methods in this field.

In terms of comparison of the deviation from the standard of theft of premises in the 14th district of Tehran in different seasons between years 2013 -2017, the highest deviation from the standard of theft of premises was observed in autumn, summer, spring, and later winter seasons respectively.By analyzing the time series trend for the crime of theft of private places and public places of theft using the Mann-Kendall test in the 14th district of Tehran at the 95% confidence level, there was no significant seasonal and annual trend for the theft of private places. In other words, it can be said that there is no significant difference in the crime of theft of private places in the 14th district of Tehran, which indicates randomness in the data of theft of private places. In other words; This randomness and non-compliance of thefts from private and government places is a clear trend and it can be said that in this area, the policies and performance of relevant agencies,police patrols, or control measures regarding thefts of public and private places have not achieved any meaningful results. But the values of the S statistic and the significance level in the Kendall test for shoplifting and home theft crimes in the 14th district of Tehran at the 95% confidence level have a seasonal trend in the month of autumn and a significant annual trend for shoplifting and home theft crimes. In other words, it can be said that for the years 2013 -2017, there is a significant difference in the crime of shoplifting in the 14th district of Tehran, both annually and in the autumn season, which indicates that there is no coincidence in the data of shoplifting and home theft crimes and that there is a significant decreasing trend. Therefore, it can be said that the policies and performance of the relevant agencies regarding theft from shops and homes have been significantly reduced.

The results of this research on the types of theft in the 14th district of Tehran, in terms of the distribution of crimes, show that most shop and home theft crimes are concentrated in the western and northwestern parts and the least shop and home theft crimes are concentrated in the south and southwest areas. However, the crimes of theft of private and public places do not follow a specific pattern and change from one place to another after moving for years.By comparing the minimum number of burglary crimes in different seasons of 2013 -2017, it was observed that the spring season has the lowest number of burglary crimes and occasionally in the summer season (including theft of government premises and shops) and in the fall season(including theft of homes and private places) in the winter season (theft of government places) has been observed.Compared to the maximum number of burglary crimes in different seasons of 2013 -2017, in the autumn season (theft of private places, shops, houses, and public places), the summer season (theft of houses, public places, shops, and private places) has the highest number of burglary crimes is assigned to itself.In the winter season and then in the spring season, the highest average number of theft crimes has been observed.it can be said that the control measures carried out in the autumn season were significant and reduced.According to the morphology of the 14th district of Tehran, in the police management of urban crime centers, three factors have the greatest impact on the occurrence of theft, including the lack of appropriate cultural and educational structures in this area of the city, the existence of worn and old structures, the lack of supervision of parks and green spaces in the area, and The length of days is decreasing and the duration of darkness is lengthening.It is suggested that the 14th police station of Tehran city, by using the operational and police force of that region, with car and motorcycle patrols in an inconspicuous and timely manner, control and monitor plans for experienced thieves in the autumn season and also in the dark hours. With the cooling and the beginning of the rainy season, for private places without seasonal habitation and dark and lonely alleys and out of the sight of police patrol units, these areas should put the reconstruction and improvement of roads on their agenda in terms of safety, and by improving the lighting conditions of the streets, roads, and Margins equip the mentioned points to this important matter.

The city is a dynamic and complex phenomenon that functions as a system. According to the United Nations report, for the first time in history, more than half of the world's population lives in cities, which will reach 70% in 2050. Urban management is responsible for monitoring, planning and managing the sustainable development of cities. Since top-down urban management in practice has led to many urban problems, and the effectiveness of decision-making patterns has caused the creation of various management approaches; whose purpose is to understand human behavior and change consumption patterns towards more sustainable paths. In our country, urban management has been affected by macro structures and the environment, which has resulted in lagging behind (urbanization) and overtaking (growth) from (urban development). Therefore, the lack of participatory democracy, planning and management, and the lack of coordination of urban plans with construction plans, inattention to the specific conditions and prevailing performance of each city are among the challenges of the current urban planning and management system in Iran. In such a situation, along with the development of metropolises, the cities that host the oil and gas industry, such as the city of Bandar Kangan, also face challenges such as the rapid development of the city, the increase in the cost of infrastructure, the loss of resources, the disproportion of the distribution of uses, the excessive increase in the price of land and housing, and disorder. environmental problems and hundreds of other challenges and has caused weakness in the proper management of the city from (physical, environmental, economic, social-cultural and management-political) aspects; Therefore, urban management can only be managed with a bottom-up planning that firstly enjoys the participation and support of citizens and secondly uses a combination of management approaches in the matter of managing cities and guiding them in the path of sustainability. work successfully. 

This research is developmental in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive-analytical and causal-survey method. Collecting information using documentary-library and field method (observation, interview and questionnaire). After extracting and comparing indicators in the approaches of political economy, empowerment, urban democracy, neighborhood-based management, social capital, traditional urban management, NGO, public choice, urban participation, pluralism, integrated urban management, sustainable urban development, good governance and Urban development strategy, important and common indicators in line with the management approaches of urban development were categorized in the form of 5 physical, environmental, economic, social/cultural and managerial/political dimensions. Each of these dimensions has sub-criteria that form the basis of the current research questionnaire. In order to investigate and explain the most important components of effective management approaches in urban development and Analysis the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to realize the desired urban development in Kangan city, factor analysis and SWOT models have been used. In this research, the trustees, experts and citizens of Kangan city are considered as statistical communities. The sampling method was random sampling, and the snowball method was used for statistical communities of trustees (48 people) and experts (90 people), and the sample size of the citizens of Kangan city (382 people) was determined using Cochran's method. 

Analysis of the most effective factors in Kangan city management. In order to identify the underlying dimensions of the research, the factor analysis method was used, which the main management components in the development of Kangan city were prioritized from the point of view of the trustees compared to the research variables, and included factors (physical/economic), (management-political/social), (economic) / social) and (environmental / physical) that these factors explain 56% of the total variance. Analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of effective management approaches in the development of Kangan city by integrating the opinion of the target communities. The results of the SWOT analysis show that there is a gap with democratic citizenship, the effect of sanctions and currency shocks on the city's economy, and the lack of fair provision of services with a score of 0.18 are the most important weaknesses in the system that need to be improved in terms of planning. The impact of the share of oil and the growth of the sales rate and the increase in the level of education and social awareness with a score of 0.22, the role of the government in the economy and funding and investment with a score of 0.21 are the most important opportunities, as well as the effect of financial and monetary policies on the city's economy with a score of 0.24. Paying attention to the rules and management of urban development and not paying attention to demographic characteristics with a score of 0.23 are considered as threat factors against effective management approaches in the development of Kangan city.

In this research, the most important indicators of effective management approaches in the development of Kangan city were examined and explained. In order to find the important factors from the point of view of Kangan city trustees, factor analysis was used, the results show: (physical /economic),(management-political/social),(economic/social)and (environmental /physical) factors respectively have the highest percentage. has allocated the variance. Also, using the SWOT model, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of urban development in Kangan Port were identified. The results indicate that the opportunity points have the highest score of 3.51 and the strengths have the lowest score of 2.38. The results of QSPM also show that providing public benefits and meeting basic needs to increase social justice, coordinating trustees and strengthening integrated management to organize the city in order to achieve urban sustainability, increasing trust and validation to improve adaptability and flexibility, planning the development of the tourism industry to reduce The reliance of Kangan's economy on oil and gas is one of the most effective strategies in the development of Kangan city; Among these strategies, priority is given to managerial/political and economic indicators.

Humans have always sought to use and take advantage of nature for their well-being, but most of these uses have caused the destruction of the natural environment around them. It means an area where the temperature of that area is higher than the surrounding environment, in other words, the air temperature in the city is higher than the air temperature of the surrounding environment, which has a uniform and homogeneous temperature. As the aim of this research, they examine and identify the temperature threshold and heat islands of Kerman city, focusing on the landscape changes.

The current research is based on library studies and field investigations in terms of developmental-applicative goal and in terms of descriptive-analytical methodology. To achieve the objectives of the research, 5 indicators (landscape heterogeneity, ecological continuity and connection, connection of land elements, environmental conditions and functional conditions) with 17 sub-indices were extracted. In the following, during three periods (1365-1385-1400), satellite images were prepared and using Envi software, the state of coverage and the results of the temperature surveys of the surface of the land in Kerman city were determined. The colonial competition algorithm (minimum spanning tree MST) has been used in the Matlab 2016 software environment and for the spatialization of the indicators studied in the city of Kerman by the method (Tracking Analyst Tools) in the process of network analysis (Network Analyst Tools) in the soft environment ArcGIS software is used.

As a result of this research, it should be said that at the level of the proposed scenarios, the scenario (construction) in the construction zone in 2016, out of 100% of the available zone in the city of Kerman, 42.44% is dedicated to the construction spot. In 1385, this number reached 49.27% and in 1400, it reached 59.02%. The results of the area metric show that most of the land surface of the study area is made up of patches. Also, construction spots and open spots have increased in area and the growth of this spot between them is significant. The largest share of spots formation in every 3 years is related to artificial spots. The results of the classification spectrum for the measured islands in the city of Kerman were classified into 6 classes. The results show that in the southwest of the city of Kerman, due to the location of numerous polluting centers and industrial towns, as well as the location of the wind, the pollution center of this city. contract.

The results of the location analysis show that the location is very unhealthy in the center of Kerman due to the traffic and population density. In order to investigate and understand the heat islands of Kerman city, relying on the changes and evolutions of pollution in this city, after the investigations carried out on the amount of pollution and carbon dioxide production in 8 sections, the status of each index was examined in terms of the amount of emission. According to the findings of this research, by combining the 8 maps of the previous stage and taking into account what the analysis of the satellite images shows, the state of the heat island resulting from pollution in Kerman city is presented.

Iran is at the center of the intervening regions due to its transit location, Iran is at the center of the intersection of the world's energy production and consumption; on the north-south vertical axis it is at the center of the two energy sources of the Persian Gulf and Central Asia and the Caucasus; and on the east-west axis it is at the center of two energy consuming regions of East Asia and Europe, which means that Iran has a privileged distribution position. Eight major transit routes are located in the peripheral region of Iran, which of course have different degrees of importance and progress. having and using the geo-economic position is an important factor in increasing the national power of countries. Iran is also in a favorable situation in terms of geo-economic situation but despite having geo-economic components, including in the area of transit location, it has not gained much in the use of this favorable potential. The purpose of this research is to investigate the geopolitical and geoeconomic capacities of the Silk Road to increase Iran's national power. The method of this research is descriptive-survey. The research results have been analyzed and evaluated using spss software. The results of the research show that activating the capacities of the Silk Road has a great role in increasing the geo-economic power and also ensuring the national security of the country. It also causes the growth of employment and national income, which itself is a factor of economic development and progress; Therefore, according to the fact that each of the mentioned indicators and parameters play a role in increasing national power, it can be concluded that Iran can use its position on the Silk Road to increase its national power and improve its geopolitical position.
