Key words: analysis, traffic and traffic centers, role, security, tourism, West Gilan area. Likewise, the existence of the tourism industry in a region and the movement of tourists in a destination creates security, but this is not always true, because in some cases the existence of tourism and the movement of tourists has caused insecurity. Nevertheless, the tourism industry and the category of security are closely related. That is, if there is no security, the tourism industry will not expand. Security in a broad sense is one of the most important issues that affects the demand of foreign tourists to travel to Iran and any other country. In this way, internal and national security is the most significant factor in the development of tourism in any country that wants to adapt itself to the characteristics of leading countries in tourism. Tourism experts now believe that the relationship between national security and tourism should be considered so that a new definition of national security based on the presence of foreign tourists and the recognition of internal realities and their transfer abroad is a necessary and necessary tool. The role and impact of the tourism industry in shaping the national security of a country is such that the majority of developed countries prefer to focus on the tourism industry despite having large economic resources and income. The direct presence of visitors and tourists in a country, in addition to economic development and cultural exchanges, introduces that country to the world as a safe tourism hub. Gilan Province, with its geographical potential, including the sea, beach, mountains, forests, and other tourist attractions, has always been of interest to tourists, and with the arrival of these travelers, one of the organizations involved can be considered the traffic police, who seek the safety of tourists. Therefore, this thesis is trying to analyze the traffic information bases and its role in the sense of security of tourism in the western region. Therefore, it is divided into the following five chapters.

This research includes tables, graphs, maps, images, Persian and Latin sources, and pages. Tourism is in one country. Security is the first and most basic need of a tourist. Comfort, convenience and security are issues and factors that can call people to tourism. The development of the tourism industry in a country indicates the stability of national security, and one of the reasons for the prosperity of tourism in the country is the government's attention to ensuring tourism security (Eramghan, 2011, p. 2).

The financial and life security of tourists directly affects the attraction of tourists, and its lack makes tourism development impossible. Iran is among the top ten countries in the world in terms of having tourist attractions, but due to the lack of planning and neglect of this huge industry, it has not benefited from the income generated by it. Gilan province has a high potential in attracting tourism with its historical attractions, weather conditions and geographical location. Accessibility to urban services and facilities is considered a basic criterion for evaluating the quality of life in residential areas. Therefore, the assessment of the potential and limitations of each region regarding the required services and facilities is one of the basic principles of urban planning.

The western areas of Gilan after the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the opening of the Astara border to neighboring countries and the existence of a free trade zone, especially due to the presence of the Rasht to Astara transit line with the special geographical location of this region and the proximity of three coastal, plain and mountainous areas, and the existence of the forests of Gisum, Shafarud and Summer vacation areas and tourist villages such as Duran, Roshandeh, etc. have always attracted the attention of many people and these areas welcome many people from inside and outside the province. Therefore, the safety of these tourists is very important in these areas, and one of the institutions that is very active in this regard is the traffic control centers in this area from the west of Gilan. In spite of these bases and other military organizations, every day there are many problems, especially during Nowruz holidays and hot seasons, including summer, in these areas, which creates negative effects in public recognition. According to the above, this research investigates and analyzes traffic information centers and their role in the sense of tourism security in West Gilan area and provides a solution. Do they have?
