Objective: This research aims to develop a suitable model and design for constructing a diplomatic compound. Aligned with the definition of applied research, which seeks to put knowledge into practice, this study falls under the category of applied research. The research methodology is analytical-descriptive, requiring an examination of theoretical texts, particularly within the realm of theoretical frameworks, to explore new theoretical paradigms and emerging models.Furthermore, considering the significance of this issue in the country's political system, the study involves an analysis of documents, books, and existing master plans, as well as relevant foreign sources and articles. Additionally, expert opinions were gathered through interviews, and studies conducted by specialists, organizations, and relevant institutions were examined. Through specialized surveys, needs assessments, and evaluations of prominent global examples, a comprehensive understanding was gained.Subsequently, using a combination of field, library, and documentary research (such as studies of master plans), the results were integrated using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) technique and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Each sub-criterion was weighted using the expert choice software, and finally, the SWOT situation assessment model was employed for analysis, leading to the formulation of a final strategy.The findings indicate that the optimal strategy is an offensive one, meaning that the realization of a diplomatic compound in the northern regions of Tehran Province should focus on maximizing its strengths and opportunities to transform it into a competitive and influential city akin to the metropolis of Tehran. The proposed model, integrating principles of sustainable urban design, high security, and specialized amenities for diplomats, provides an ideal work and living environment. Moreover, this research emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in implementing this project and its positive impact on the country's diplomatic relations. By presenting a comprehensive roadmap, this study assists policymakers and planners in making more informed decisions regarding the development of diplomatic infrastructure.
Method: his study employed a combination of field research, literature review, and documentary analysis (including top-down document analysis). Subsequently, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized to assign weights to sub-criteria using Expert Choice software. Finally, a SWOT situation assessment model was applied to conduct a comprehensive analysis and formulate the final strategy."
Results :Based on the SWOT analysis, the final strategy focuses on an aggressive approach.
Conclusions: This means that the realization of the diplomatic city in Shemiranat should aim to maximize its strengths and opportunities, enabling it to become a competitive and influential city comparable to the metropolis of Tehran.
