Today, urban regions are regarded as the most basic units of global economic space. The planning on such regions is of high importance because it influences various aspects of human life.

Nevertheless, in recent years the attitude of system planning and sustainable development perspective have been included in urban planning studies that made serious doubts on this attitude to urban planning. SWOT is one of the most significant models of strategic planning which is used for identification of the strengths and weaknesses of internal and external environment of Imam Khomaini port for sustainable development planning. To this end, natural environment, physical and human systems were investigated through GPS data, synoptic stations, geology data, census and urban comprehensive and developing plan. The results showed that positive and negative points of sub-systems i.e., weaknesses and threats were more than the opportunities and strong points of the system. Moreover, most of the internal negative points were related to the natural sub-system and most of the external threats were related to the physical aspects. According to the results, two main strategies including settling the buildings in the most appropriate direction towards climatic conditions and adapting the accessibility networks with principles of special climatic planning of passages are suggested.
