Introduction
Protecting the borders and establishing security and defense in the border and internal areas of every country has been the concern of the rulers of their time. To some extent, all countries throughout history have faced insecurity, chaos, crisis and war at the borders to stabilize their country. In the past years, many ethnic, racial and religious groups have lived side by side in unstable political and social frameworks and have lived on the borders. Throughout history, the country's border strips have seen the most significant conflicts and confrontations between governments and nations; therefore, the issue of borders has always been one of the basic and important issues of governments, so borders have a special place in every country. One of the most difficult tasks of any government is the control and security of political borders, and if this issue is not paid attention to and there are no appropriate plans and solutions, the country's political sovereignty will be threatened. In order to turn threats into opportunities and benefit from conditions and situations in order to maintain security and secure national interests, we must have a deep and comprehensive understanding of the level of border areas and its surrounding spaces. In the meantime, one of the most important measures is planning according to the geomorphological capabilities of the border areas. One of the measures that increase security in the border strip is to identify areas prone to establishing military bases and surveillance centers. Considering that the border strip of Kurdistan province, including Marivan city, has a sensitive location, therefore, in this research, the areas prone to the construction of military bases and observation centers in this city have been identified.
Materials and methods
In this research, according to the subject and objectives, library information, SRTM 30 meters high digital model and digital layers of information have been used as research data. The most important research tools are ArcGIS (for the purpose of preparing necessary maps) and Expert Choice (for the implementation of the AHP model). In this research, in order to identify the vulnerable areas of Marivan city against the enemy's influence, as well as areas susceptible to the construction of military bases and observation centers, the integrated model of fuzzy logic and AHP has been used. This research has been done in several stages. In the first step, the parameters used are identified. In the second step, the used parameters are fuzzification. In the third step, using the Analytical Hierarchy Model (AHP) and based on the opinions of experts, weight has been given to the information layers and then the obtained weight has been applied to the information layers. In the fourth stage, the layers of information are combined and finally, a map of areas prone to enemy infiltration and areas prone to establishing military bases and observation centers is prepared.
Discussion and results
In this research, in order to identify vulnerable areas against enemy infiltration, 6 parameters of height, slope, field of view, distance from the river, distance from urban areas and distance from military bases have been used. Also, considering that the study area corresponds to the border strip, therefore monitoring and controlling these areas is very important. One of the ways to control and monitor the border areas is to create military bases and observation centers, which has been addressed in this research using 6 parameters. Investigations have shown that Marivan city has a lot of diversity in terms of geomorphology, and this problem has caused its different parts to have different potentials for creating military objectives. Considering the importance of creating security in the border strip, it is necessary to pay attention to the geomorphological capabilities of this city in order to create security in the region. In this research, based on the geomorphological capabilities of Marivan city, vulnerable areas were identified against the enemy's influence, as well as areas susceptible to the construction of military bases and observation centers.
Conclusion
According to the results, due to the geomorphological situation of Marivan city, parts of this city lack sufficient visibility and are far from the monitoring and control of military bases, and this problem has caused these areas, which mainly include the southwestern and southern regions. Is a city, have a high vulnerability potential. Also, the results of this research have shown that parts of Marivan city, which mostly correspond to the central areas of the city, have a high potential for building military bases and observation centers. Due to high altitude, low slope, western directions, wide field of view, proximity to main roads and being far from military bases, these areas have high potential for the desired goals. The total results of this research have shown that in locating military bases in Marivan city, geomorphological factors have not been given much attention and it is necessary to establish security in this region, military bases and observation centers. He built a new building in accordance with the geomorphological strength of the region.

Introduction
The security of the borders is considered as a strong support for the security of the internal areas, and any insecurity in the border areas can cause a disturbance in the economic, social, cultural and military situation of the country. Various natural (geomorphological, hydro climatic and geological) and human factors (ethnic and religious situation of the border dwellers) are effective in the security and stability of these areas. In order to turn threats into opportunities and benefit from conditions and situations in order to maintain security and secure national interests, we must have a deep and comprehensive understanding of the level of border areas and its surrounding spaces. In the meantime, one of the most important measures is planning according to the geomorphological capabilities of the border areas. In fact, geomorphological factors are one of the most important factors that determine the type of economic activities in border areas. Also, these factors are the main determinants of the weaknesses and strengths of the border areas, so that these factors have played a dual role in many areas, including the borders of Kurdistan province. Examining the geomorphology of the border areas of Kurdistan province shows that a large part of this border strip is covered by the mountain unit. The mountainous borders of Kurdistan province have weak and strong points, and therefore it is important to pay attention to the geomorphological strength of these borders for various military purposes. Considering the importance of the subject, in this research, the potential of the Kurdistan border strip for military purposes has been discussed.
Materials and methods
This research is based on descriptive-analytical methods. In this research, the SRTM 30-meter height digital model as well as digital information layers (natural and human parameters) have been used as the most important research data. The most important tools used in the research were ArcGIS (to prepare maps and final outputs) and Super Decisions (to implement the ANP model). According to the desired goals, this research has been done in several stages, in the first stage, the used parameters have been identified. In the second stage, according to the potential of the information layers for the intended purposes, the information layers have been standardized. In the third step, using the network analysis model (ANP), weights have been given to the information layers. In the fourth step, the information layers are integrated and combined using the fuzzy gamma operator, and in this way the desired final map is prepared.
Discussion and results
Due to the fact that parts of the border strip of Kurdistan province have a high vulnerability potential, it is necessary to pay attention to the vulnerability and geomorphology of the region in the location of military facilities and equipment. According to the importance of the topic, in this research, the areas prone to the development of military facilities and equipment in the region were identified, and based on the results, the surrounding areas of Baneh and Marivan cities, due to the low altitude and slope, proximity to communication lines, urban areas And the military bases, as well as being located in the plains and cone-shaped units, have great potential for the aforementioned purposes. Also, due to the vulnerability of the region and the possibility of enemy infiltration as well as the creation of an ambush by the enemy, it is necessary to build military bases and observation centers in the region. . According to the results, the border between the cities of Baneh and Marivan is due to the potential of high vulnerability and being exposed to ambushes, as well as being far from military bases, they need to establish a military base and observation centers. The total results have shown that parts of the border strip of Kurdistan province are susceptible to enemy infiltration and ambush by the enemy, and it is necessary to identify these areas and provide the necessary solutions to reduce their vulnerability.
Conclusion
The results of the identification of areas prone to the development of military facilities and equipment have shown that 23.2% of the area has a great and very high potential for the development of military facilities and equipment. These areas, which mainly include the surrounding areas of Baneh and Marivan cities, have great potential for the aforementioned purposes due to their low altitude and slope, proximity to communication lines, urban points and military bases, as well as being located in plains and conifers. Is. Also, 29.2% of the area has little potential for the development of military facilities and equipment. These areas, which mainly include the areas between the cities of Baneh and Mervan, have little potential for the development of military facilities and equipment due to their distance from urban areas, communication routes, and military bases, as well as due to their high altitude and slope. The results of the identification of areas prone to establishing military bases and observation centers have shown that 23.1% of the area has a great and very high potential for establishing military bases and observation centers. These areas, which include the areas between the cities of Baneh and Marivan, which require the establishment of a military base and observation centers due to their high vulnerability potential and being exposed to ambushes, as well as being far from military bases. Also, 41.9% of the area of the area has little potential to create a military base and observation centers. These areas mainly include the areas adjacent to the cities of Baneh and Marivan, which, due to the presence of military bases and less vulnerability potential, have less need to establish military bases and observation centers.
