Explaining and Knowing urban geopolitical factors

Cities are among the spatial-geographic phenomena that have gained a great place and role in recent decades. This prominent role played by cities, partly influenced by changes in power and levels of power, has increased the role of subordinate actors, has led to the formation of geopolitical issues in the cities, and has led to a new thematic trend in Geopolitical knowledge is formed as a geopolitical city. With the formation of this thematic tendency, extensive efforts have been made to conceptualize it, but no specific work has been done in explaining and understanding the geopolitical factors of the city. Accordingly, the present paper, using a descriptive-analytical method and using library and Internet findings, seeks to answer the question of which geopolitical shaping factors are urban? The results of this study indicate that urban geopolitical factors consist of more than thirty components that are in the form of four dimensions of geopolitical factors of natural nature, geopolitical factors of human nature, geopolitical factors with a combination of nature and geopolitical factors of human nature. They can be divided. Recognizing these geopolitical components can significantly and scientifically and practically be the basis for a better and more realistic understanding of the issues involved in urban role play and role play.
