Introduction

Key assets include systems and assets, whether physical or spiritual, which are necessary for a system and any disruption in its services can have a serious impact on national security, economic well-being, public health or safety. , or a combination of them (zhang et al, 2015:7). Looking at the recent wars, including the war of the occupation regime of Al-Quds against Hamas and the war between Russia and Ukraine, we come to the conclusion that the enemy's attack has always been focused on key assets in order to reduce the ability to defend the country with the least cost and power. Invasion, take away and in the destruction strategy, the centers of gravity of key assets are located in the primary rings, and in case of malfunctioning and being threatened, the possibility of providing services will be denied.
Passive defense is considered as a platform for sustainable development and one of the most effective and sustainable methods of defense against threats and includes different areas of urban spaces. This type of defense includes five main objectives; It follows increasing deterrence, reducing vulnerability, continuing necessary activities, promoting national stability and facilitating crisis management (Ghazanfari, 2013:3). In this regard, the objectives of the research are as follows:

Identifying the key assets of the case study
Evaluation of the value of the key assets of the case study
Methodology

In terms of the type of research, the present research is considered as applied research and in terms of research method, it is considered as descriptive-analytical research. According to the goals and questions of the research, in order to collect information, library studies and questionnaires are used. In this research, the FEMA (American Emergency Management Agency) technique has been used to evaluate the value of key assets of a case study.
 

Results

The sample studied in the research, the key assets of Qazvin province with an emphasis on Qazvin city include; Qazvin Karaj Freeway, ShahidRajaei Electric Power Plant, Qazvin 16th Armored Division, Northwest Radio Communications General Directorate, MurghAjdadBarkat Company, ShahidRajaei Hospital, Qazvin Governorate, Qazvin Governorate, Imam Khomeini International University and Qazvin Railway Station. After the distribution of the stratification questionnaire and the evaluation of the assets affecting the key assets of the case sample and its completion by the research expert community, the geometric mean of the expert community's opinions was extracted.
 

Discussion

Key assets were leveled using the center of gravity leveling guidelines. The results of the research show that Qazvin Karaj Freeway, ShahidRajaei Power Plant, Qazvin 16th Armored Division, Northwest Radio Communications General Directorate, AjdadBarkat Chicken Company are among the assets with sensitive level and Qazvin Governorate, Qazvin Governorate, Imam International University Khomeini, ShahidRajaei Hospital and Qazvin Railway Station are among the important assets.
