The Effecting Geographical Factors on the Border of Hesarcheh in North Khorasan
The geographical factors are among the major effective factors in establishing the stable security in political borders of the country. For this reason, countries like Iran having unsecure border conditions and fragile zones should be prepared to identify the geographical border potentials and limitations to design some plans for confronting with the various border challenges including good, patrol, gun, and drug smuggling to provide the security for the borders. The North Khorsan, as one of the 16 border cities of the country, has 301 kilometers common border with Turkmen. This province is considered as one of the main directions of narcotics smuggling and transition because of its geographical location between the main place of narcotic production (Afghanistan) and one of the main consumption market and transition direction of narcotics (Central Asia). This study is implication in terms of its purpose and it has been conducted by analytic-descriptive method based on compound statistics (inferential and descriptive). For data collection, some instruments including interview, questionnaire, satellite pictures and maps have been used. For data analysis and maps drawing, the SPSS and ArcGIS software have been used. Through the analysis of the findings and comparing the results of previous studies it has been indicated that the extensive length of border, the geometric shape of border in terms of topography, the appropriate localization of the stations, and inappropriate transmittance of population centers have provided the potentials for border insecurity.
