A Framework for Designing Subway- Surface Station with The Approach of Passive Defense

Although subway-surface station plays a significant role in many countries, these stations attract lower consideration in scientific research. Some factors such as being in the depth of earth and capability for multipurpose use, cause more attraction for underground stations; although safety and stability of a subway line require its business continuity. The main purpose of this research is to extract and prioritizing of architectural design of above ground stations based on passive defense criteria. In this research, data collection has been carried out from the library studies and direct observation. Data analysis was carried out by employing SPSS and Expert Choice software. Results show that among principles of architectural design, three principles, include optimum form, flexible and resistant surface and suitable and stable interior design, from a passive defense point of view are most important and effective principles. The necessary requirements and framework were analyzed and developed for each of these principles
