Establishing security is one of the most basic principles to achieve the desired standards for the people’s comfort and well-being, and creating shelter and its necessary infrastructure is one of the most essential requirements in crises, so that maximum security, with the lowest cost for defense is provided for the people, and on the other hand, make the enemy take the most effort to harm them. So, identifying the components and indicators of providing security and shelter for the people in crisis caused by wars, especially unbalanced wars are of special importance. This research aims at formulating a suitable model in order to provide security and shelter for people in the crisis caused by unbalanced wars. The research is of applied-developmental type. The descriptive-analytical research method is a hybrid approach. A 52-people statistical population was used. The analysis of information and data obtained from the study of the sources has been analyzed using the content analysis method, the structural equation modeling method with the partial least squares approach and using "Smart PLS" software. The research results showed that this model includes 5 components and 36 indicators; The security dimension includes two components (individual security, public security) and 14 indicators, and the shelter dimension includes 3 components (shelter design and architecture, accommodation management and shelter affairs, and positioning) and 22 indicators.

The purpose of the current research was to develop a strategic plan for the general exercise of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The descriptive-analytical research method was a survey type, which according to the scope of the study is included in the category of strategic studies. The statistical community of the research is all the managers, experts and specialists of physical training of the armed forces in the organizations and subordinate units in the army, IRGC, police force, Ministry of Defense and Basij; The experts were outside the armed forces. The sampling method was accessible and the statistical sample size was 130 officials and experts of physical education inside and outside the armed forces. The tools of data collection were interviews and open and closed questionnaires, by using them vision, mission, macro goals, core values, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, strategies and priorities and the program Operational measures were formulated. According to the internal and external matrices, the strategic position of physical training of the armed forces was placed on the border of the conservative region. Despite the existence of more obvious weaknesses than strengths, there are more opportunities in the physical education of the armed forces. By benefiting from the SWOT analysis matrix, 4 SO strategies, 3 ST strategies, 6 WO strategies and 3 WT strategies were identified, a total of 16 strategies were identified and prioritized using a quantitative strategic planning matrix, and then an operational plan corresponding to each strategy was determined. Finally, based on the strategic analysis, the strategic program of physical training of the armed forces in public sports was prepared, and its topics included the statement of vision, mission, long-term goals, strategy and operational plans of public sports

One of the threat areas from the point of view of passive defense; cyber threats and among them cyber resilience; It is the actions and predictions that must be done in a system to be prepared to face and deal with cyber attacks and intrusions and tolerate and adapt to the conditions of continuous occurrence and quick recovery and rehabilitation after the interruptions.
Therefore, a system is resilient when it has the ability to resist cyber attacks or incidents. The main goal of this research is to present the cyber resilience model of command and control systems and its sub-goals are to explain cyber threats, cyber vulnerabilities, dimensions and components of cyber resilience of command and control systems. This research is of an applied type and in terms of a descriptive method with a mixed approach, the researcher first uses the analysis and categorization of the proposed methods and solutions to explore the appropriate pattern, and in order to check the meaningful relationship between the dimensions and components using the factor analysis method, from the software It uses Smart PLS. factor load coefficients calculated for the three dimensions of command and leadership, control and supervision, and process and operation, respectively; It is 0.926, 0.917 and 0.920, which shows the high importance of these factors in increasing the cyber resilience of systems.
The cyber resilience model of command and control systems is presented in three dimensions of command and control with four components, control and monitoring dimension with four components, process and operation dimension with three components,against six threats and seven vulnerabilities (weaknesses).

The use of gas energy covers a very wide range of industrial, power plant, commercial and domestic uses, and this wide range of interconnected activities that take place at different stages of production, transmission and distribution in the field of the gas network faces various risks. The supply chain of the gas industry has three basic parts: production, transmission and distribution, and each of these three parts has its own challenges. One of the most important challenges in the supply chain management of the gas industry is the issue of resilience and continuity of gas production, transmission and distribution, and this issue is of vital importance for the country.
Resilience and continuity in each of the three sectors play a strategic and essential role in the country's stability. In addition to identifying the effective factors on improving the resilience and continuity of production, transmission and distribution of the gas network, the present research has focused on prioritizing the strengths and opportunities that are effective on the research. This research is practical in terms of purpose, qualitative and quantitative in terms of the type of data, and case-specific in terms of implementation.
