چکیده

اگروتروریسم در حوزه منابع طبیعی عمدتاً شامل استفاده از عوامـل بیولوژیـک مختلف از جمله قارچ، باکتری، ویروس و انـواع حشـرات، توسط گـروه‏هـای تروریسـتی به‌منظور از بین بردن درختان جنگلی و منابع طبیعی، ایجاد ترس، زیان‏های اقتصادی و کاهش ثبات (سیاسی  - اجتماعی) مـی‏باشـد. با اجرای سیاست‏‏های موفقیت‏آمیز مبارزه با تروریسم و ایجاد محدودیت در فعالیت‏های سازمان‏های تروریستی، حملات اگروتروریستی گسترش یافته است. افزایش چنین تهدیداتی رابطه مستقیم با پیشرفت روش‏های مهندسی ژنتیک و علوم زیستی دارد که متخاصمین از آن در جهت سوء استفاده می‏نمایند. در چنین شرایطی مؤسسات تحقیقاتی، کشاورزی و منابع طبیعی در موقعیتی منحصر به فرد برای کمک به سازمان‏های اطلاعاتی و نظامی قرار دارند که می‏توانند از طریق شناسایی تهدیدها، با استفاده از بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی و ایمونولوژی گیاهی، گیاهان مقاوم و یا روش‏هایی در جهت تقویت ایمنی محصولات در برابر عوامل بیماری‌زای موجود و نوظهور ارائه نمایند. هدف از پژوهش حاضر این است که نشان دهد چگونه می‏توان از پدافند غیرعامل به‌عنوان شاخصی برای تأکید بر افزایش توان پیشگیری، تشخیص و کشف، واکنش و بازیابی منابع طبیعی در برابر اقدامات اگروتروریستی استفاده نمود. این پژوهش توصیفی، تحلیلی و از نظر نوع، کاربردی بوده است و جامعه نمونه بر اساس فرمول کوکران شامل 108 نفر از اساتید و دانشجویان حوزه منابع طبیعی بوده است. بعد از جمع‏آوری اطلاعات، پرسشنامه‏‏ای متشکل از 11 سؤال در رابطه با متغیرهای پژوهش تهیه گردید. نتایج تحقیق حاضر نشان داد که پدافند غیرعامل با تأمین و راه‏اندازی آزمایشگاه مرکزی، بررسی و نظارت دقیق ورود منابع ژنتیکی گیاهی و جانوری در مرزهای کشور، رصد دوره‏ای و منظم از مناطق مختلف و ایجاد بانک‏های اطلاعاتی می‏تواند با تشخیص به موقع تهدید، به­سرعت مانع از گسترش خسارت و نابودی در عرصه‏ های منابع طبیعی شود.

چکیده [English]

Agroterrorism in natural resources mainly involves using various biological agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and insects by terrorist groups to destroy forest trees and natural resources, create fear, economic losses, and reduce socio- political stability. Successful counter-terrorism policies have led to restrictions on the activities of terrorist organizations resulted, agroterrorism attacks increased. The increase of such threats is directly related to the progress of genetic engineering and biological science methods, which the adversaries exploit. In such situations, agricultural and natural resources research institutes are in a unique position to assist information and military organizations. They can identify threats and use agricultural biotechnology and plant immunology to strengthen the safety of products against pathogens. The purpose of this research is to show how passive defense can be used as an indicator to emphasize the increase in the ability to prevent, detect and discover, react and recover natural resources against agroterrorism actions. This research was descriptive, analytical and practical in terms of type, and the sample population based on Cochran's formula included 108 professors and students in the field of natural resources. After collecting the information, a questionnaire consisting of 11 questions related to the research variables was prepared. The results of the research showed that passive defense can quickly prevent the spread of damage and destruction in the field of natural resources by timely detection of the threat. Passive defense with the provision and operation of the central laboratory, careful monitoring of the country's borders, periodic and regular monitoring of various regions, and the creation of databases will be effective.
