Abstract

Natural hazards manifest themselves in all scales exploration. The Tigris and Euphrates basins in Southwest Asia and the Danube basin in the European continent are areas with dust and drought hazards. Therefore, in order to reduce vulnerability and manage drought and dust in Tigris and Euphrates, there is a need to establish regional peace. And there is a need to strengthen regional peace in the Danube basin. The theory of this article is to emphasize the approach of establishing and strengthening regional peace as a systematic process to reduce vulnerability to natural hazards. The novelty of the article is that: A) it emphasizes on the regional scale to reduce vulnerability of people and the environment to dust and drought hazards. B) It evaluates the adverse effects of the actions of political forces in the realm of hazardous natural processes. C) It informs the environment and political forces about the theory of establishing regional peace toward the reduction of natural hazards. D) Strengthens interdisciplinary research in natural hazard, environment and geopolitical sciences. The research method used in this article is historical-experimental. Also, from the comparative method and one-to-one correspondence, the geographical territory of political forces' actions was matched with the territory of natural hazardous processes. The result showed that strengthening the efficiency and effective cooperation of regional political forces and strengthening regional peace reduces the vulnerability caused by natural hazards. On this basis, the theory of regional peace to reduce natural hazards was confirmed as a scientific golden map.
