Abstract
Since medical centers, from the perspective of civil defense, are considered as centers of critical urban land, therefore, it is essential the criteria and defensive mechanisms to comply in design. One of these strategies would be taking advantage of the vegetation in a hospital. From this perspective, the use of vegetation in the hospital needs to scientific and expertise comments by the expert in the green space who is familiar with knowledge of passive defense. In this study, it is tried the principles of architectural green spaces design of medical centers to discuss from an architectural defensive approach and passive defense. For this purpose, using descriptive-analytic method and library research tool, the role of security in outer space of the medical centers are investigated, and in the end, a set of strategies for architectural design of green space for a therapeutic complex in order to reduce the vulnerability of human resources and improve security will be presented, by taking advantage of the fundamental concepts of passive defense. The present research achievements in the designing of green spaces for the medical centers will be useful in line with promoting passive defense purposes.

1.1 Statement of the ProblemSecurity is a social issue and considered to be the effects of communal living
The main question of this study: what are the solutions for appropriate green spaces design of medical centers with passive defense approach? To answer the main question, it should be known that what are the green spaces of hospital positioned for the passive defense? And how the passive defense can affect designed green spaces hospitals? And what are principle requirements and considerations for the green spaces, established by the passive defense?
If designed principally and consistently under the patterns of passive defense, in times of crisis they can be a place to shelter and at the time after the crisis help to save the lives of patients and staff in hospitals and the relief process
Summary
Security is a social issue and considered to be the effects of communal living. In other words, the security is often associated with phenomena and other people to make sense. The hospital is the most important provider unit of a network health service in the country and has at least 32 inpatient beds More than any time the hospital is needed, the safe hospitals could continue to operate and provide important community-based health services as established. The safe hospital design aims to raise the awareness and make effective change, to ensure that the reversible structure of health facilities, the lives of patients and health personnel in disaster become protected and risk to employees and health care institutions become minimized through crisis management and creation of passive defense plans While the hospitals in time of war must be immune from attack under international protocols, past experience suggests that the enemy, in many cases, is targeted the medical centers. The green space in the first place would have prevented the accurate identification of medical centers and reduce the harm and dangers of enemy attacks
