Abstract Due to its special geopolitical location at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Turkey is considered a key player in the future developments of West Asia. However, in the existing literature, most studies are limited to describing Ankara's foreign policy and less to analyzing the future of geopolitical developments using systematic futures research approaches. This study, relying on the theoretical framework of geopolitical realism in interaction with the scenario-based futures research approach, seeks to fill this gap. The research method is mixed and descriptive-analytical, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 experts on Turkish issues and also through the analysis of documentary sources. The Delphi method was used to identify the main drivers and uncertainties, and then future scenarios were drawn using the perspective analysis model and cross-sectional analysis. The findings show that the geopolitical future of Greater Anatolia will be shaped by seven main scenarios, the most important of which are: intensification of hydropolitical competition between Turkey, Iraq, and Syria; increasing Turkey's role in the South Caucasus in light of convergence with the Republic of Azerbaijan; continued divergence in Ankara's relations with Tehran, especially in the areas of energy, Kurdish issues, and the corridor. The results show that Turkey's foreign policy in the face of these scenarios will be mainly based on three axes: developing the defense industry and increasing strategic depth, utilizing transit and energy capacities to become the region's geoeconomic crossroads, and continuing the neo-Ottoman policy with the aim of gaining regional hegemony. Therefore, the present study, while providing a systematic picture of possible futures, can help to more accurately understand the opportunities and challenges facing Turkey's neighboring countries in the Anatolian Plateau and serve as a basis for designing more realistic strategies in the field of foreign policy and regional security.

The emergence of a variety of inequalities, widespread poverty, malnutrition and ... were examples of the effects of urbanization. For this reason, many scholars and experts have focused on the quality of life, in order to improve living conditions and improve the quality of life of human beings. Many studies show that satisfaction with different dimensions and characteristics of the neighborhood affects residents' quality of life. Considering that satisfaction with life, i.e., the full satisfaction of all parts of life, if this kind of satisfaction does not develop among residents, more serious problems such as intra-urban migration, severe class contradictions and the problem of uplifting and down-town faces Accepts. Therefore, identifying the effective factors on residential satisfaction in each neighborhood, which is in accordance with the needs of the residents of that neighborhood, is one of the main goals of urban planners in order to increase residential satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of location and quality of environment on improving citizens' satisfaction from neighborhoods. The research method was descriptive-analytic, data collection method, library and survey, sample size was estimated 315 by Cochran formula. In order to test the hypotheses presented in this study, structural equation modeling was used in Lisrel software environment. The results of this study indicate that spatial sense of belonging and quality of environment have a significant effect on residents' satisfaction with the neighborhood.
