Therefore, it is necessary that passive defense measures in the design of urban environments, especially of the city's official sites that have always been one of the attractive targets for terrorists due to public presence and bustle pursued with importance in order to reduce the measure of vulnerability to terrorist acts. The aim of this research is presentation of security-defense considerations and environmental design solutions to reduce the vulnerability of city official buildings and sites against terrorist attacks. This is an analytical-descriptive research and information are collected from library documents and interviews with security-defense experts. The results show that in order to reduce the measure of vulnerability of urban official buildings and sites, use of three security-protection layers and design guidelines in 4 sections include access, inputs entrance and exit, separator spaces and physical barriers should be considered simultaneously.
