Abstract
Stabilizing some services such as parks and green spaces in small towns like Bandar Abbas requires an efficient strategic planning. The purpose of this study was presenting a physical strategy for development of parks and green spaces in Bandar Abbas using Meta-SWOT strategic model. Such a model is applied in urban and regional research for the first time by the present study. Adopting a descriptive-analytical base, a combination of documentary and field methods were applied for data collection and analysis. The Meta-SWOT analytical technique has been used to formulate a strategy for developing and describing goals, resources and capabilities and macro-environmental factors. Based on results, drought is considered as the biggest environmental obstacle for development and management of parks and green spaces. Among the effective factors for managing and physical development of parks and green spaces in Bandar Abbas, the highest strategic suitability relates to some factors including: people's participation and cooperation, the existence of appropriate infrastructure, the presence of expert human resources and at the top of all proximity to the Persian Gulf. Therefore, the particular attention should be paid to the mentioned factors. Also, the existence of a library and attracting centers such as flower garden as well as experienced people like professors who can train and teach required specialized and technical people should be at the top of the executive to solve human resource constraints.
