Abstract
The feasibility of any policy document includes understanding the strategic environment of the document development. In such a way that by understanding the strategic environment of the document, the strategic action position as the field of document implementation should be considered in accordance with the prevailing conditions. (Vision document) is a document that expresses the idea of creating, values or a future state of a specific organisation, product or service better than today. In the field of statecraft, vision documents have played and continue to play an irreplaceable role as the basis for the implementation of policies and strategies. These documents act as a link between the ideology of governance and space, as a vital facilitator of the dynamics of the mechanism of policy and space, creating a visible and perceptible space. Vision documents, with a future-oriented view, organise future developments to best meet the current needs of societies and play an effective role in strengthening their central idea. For a developing country, the vision document is not used as a political statement, but as a tool for development planning. Given the importance of matching the geopolitical propositions of the model document with its strategic environment, this article uses a descriptive and analytical method and utilises library and field resources to examine the extent to which the geopolitical propositions of the model document matched the strategic realities of the country in the early fifteenth century.
