Abstract

Al-Buyeh's attempt to dominate the center of the caliphate required their conquest of Khuzestan. This rule until the end of the reign of Azad-Dulah and the relative security and construction measures, as well as the lack of impact of harmful natural events, caused the growth and prosperity of the cities of the region. In the second half of Al Boyeh's rule (372-447 AH) with the death of Azd al-Dawlah and the start of conflict between the claimants of the government and the resulting insecurity caused crisis and chaos and neglect of construction measures. Natural disasters in the form of floods, plant pests and earthquakes with their direct damage caused further deterioration of the situation and decline of urban life. In this research, the role of insecurity in different forms as an independent variable on the decline of Khuzestan cities is investigated by relying on geographical sources to give an answer to the main question. How has insecurity in the form of successive wars over government and natural disasters affected the decline of Khuzestan cities? It seems that successive wars are the primary cause of insecurity, which has been intensified in various ways by the occurrence of natural disasters and has played an undeniable role in the decline of the cities of the region.
