Abstract

Being located in the Middle East region, Iran is encountering fundamental challenges with regard to its safety. Loss of peace and safety in Afghanistan, existence of drug smuggling bands, weapons and entrance of terrorist troops from Afghanistan to Iran are the factors that continuously have endangered the security stability of Iran south-eastern marginal regions. In April 2009, the security wall construction plan between Sistan and Afghanistan common border was confirmed, and it was being fenced by military forces. Basically, the present research was intended to analyze marginal wall construction effects on safety of Sistan rural regions. To this end, a descriptive-analytical method was used based on secondary data, field studies and surveys. Size of the statistical society was determined as 375 households in 30 sample villages by considering the number of households in the villages using the Cochran formula. To analyze data ArcGIS software for spatial analysis, statistical methods of Wilcoxon in SPSS software were used in order to analyze changes in the security of the villages before and after wall construction. The research results indicated that concrete wall construction in Iran and Afghanistan border could lead to sustainable safety increment in villages of the Sistan region.
