| Summary: | There is no component more important to the development, prosperity and flourishing of a society's talents than the element of security and peace in society. Without spatial security, social development and creativity wouldn’t be possible. Exploring the concept and indicators of societal security as a useful tool for public policy and decision-making in urban affairs is an inevitable necessity. Describing and explaining the societal security of the urban system in the future can reduce the occurrence of a variety of societal anomalies. This study investigates and formulates the dimensions explaining the societal security of the Iranian urban system from a futuristic perspective. Descriptive-analytical method, exploratory factor analysis and network analysis were used In order to find an answer to the question that which definition and indexing system is more suitable for explaining societal security in the urban system of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In order to conduct this research we first searched library sources and specialized journals related to security and research projects carried out by related organizations and studied them. Then, by analyzing the studies and refining and clarifying them, the main general indicators were specified. Based on the findings of the research, the main components/dimensions for measuring societal security in Iran's urban system includes economic, social, cultural, political, life and honor security, religious and Islamic, environmental and spatial dimensions. These findings are based on the applied indicators and components used in urban settlements. Finally, based on the integration of factor analysis and network analysis prioritization of the components and indicators in the future urban system was achieved. |
