The knowledge gained in the field of social history in ancient Iran has constantly caused complications for researchers due to the method of historiography and the limitation of written sources. Meanwhile, the remnants of the Sassanid period (224-651 AD) provide researchers with more information in terms of quantity and quality. Nonetheless, the share of women as a significant population in society is limited. The issue under investigation in this study is how to recognize the situation of women in the Sassanid period based on the remaining seals of the mentioned period. This research has been done by a descriptive and analytical method whilst focusing on library data. The findings of the research indicate that according to the seals, stamps, coins and other works of art of the Sassanid period, in addition to the status of the queen, women have also reached the status of monarchy. Scenes of women next to men in the act of flower-giving acts considered as a request for matrimony and ...

Abstract
Architecture is a tool for encountering human needs, and in this regard, mosques, as one of the manifestations of Islamic architecture, have a distinct role in meeting human spiritual needs. Mosques over time have unified principles for creating hierarchies. This research seeks to recognize the hierarchy of the mosques of Shiraz in which the obtained information can be applied in contemporary mosques. Accordingly, first, by referring to architectural texts and experts' views, the principle of spatial hierarchy is recognized and then the scientific definition of the word and its foundations are found. For this purpose, a descriptive-analytical method is applied to obtain theoretical foundations; furthermore, the method of space method with the help of Depthmap software was also used to analyze four mosques. The research findings express the view that the mosques of shiraz behold public spaces such as the courtyards in first degree and other areas that were more cloistered and are classified as second spaces of accessibility in which ordinary people may have been unaware of. Correspondingly, if it was possible to create two entrances, they were made from two completely diverse places to the point that the mosques connected neighborhoods.
Research aims:
1. Recognizing the principles of spatial hierarchy in traditional Iranian mosques.
2. Analyzing the spatial hierarchy of Shiraz mosques with the method of space syntax.
Research questions:
1. What factors have influenced the shaping of the spatial structure of traditional Iranian mosques?
2. What is the spatial hierarchy of Shiraz mosques based on?

Abstract
Ancient written material consists of symbols and signs that have evolved from pictorial cyphers to alphabetic letters. Calligraphy in Iran is an imperative symbol of civilization since ancient times and a number of these written signs have continued in the Islamic period. The main issue of the research is how ancient Iranian textual signs survive on the hexes of the Islamic period as part of traditional Iranian graphics. The research method is descriptive and analytical and data is collected via library contents through identification and image reading. The research findings indicate that a number of the “good” symbols that appear in Iranian hexes are formally rooted in the oldest meaningful texts including Poroto Elamite and Linear Elamite. The visual structure of a number of ancient Elamite linear signs (Poroto Elamite and Linear Elamite) can be identified on the incantations of the Islamic period. In some cases, the new enchantment signs, in combination with other motifs and geometric signs, have a distinct appearance and behold a detailed affiliation with the old textual signs. These symbols are the shapes of uneven forms, squares, circles, triangles, crosses and zigzag lines and the plant symbol that are associated with the influential elements of life. The combination of image and text in the incantations are based on a meaningful aesthetic system. Geometric symbols derived from ancient written texts are shaped structures that have formed the basis of the writing of some spells. This feature can be considered as one of the principles of the overall page layout of the enchantments of the Islamic period.
Research aims:
1. Identifying the similarities and differences in the structure of ancient Elamite linear signs with the symbols of Islamic incantations.
2. Interpreting the symbolic meaning of common signs of pre-Islamic texts and spell patterns of the Islamic period.
Research questions:

Abstract
Unique character dissimilarities are the invisible curtains behind the creation of works of art, which, of course, trace the origin of the creation of each work of art in this hidden dimension of the process of artistic emergence. Therefore, the inner self of each person, both positively and negatively, influences the creation of artists' works. The question that can be raised here is how the psychological components are reflected in the works of painters. In the meantime, an investigation on the art of artists such as Nikzad Nojoomi and Ali Akbar Sadeghi, who in the current period of popular artistic currents, try to express their psychological inner selves through visual language is necessary. In this research, accomplished descriptively and analytically using the library method, five samples of the paintings of each artist have been explored by selective sampling method and qualitatively analyzed information. The findings of the research indicate that the works of Nikzad Nojomi and Ali Akbar Sadeghi, which in a way strengthen the audience's mental abilities to understand the concepts and inner beliefs of the artist, are an interpretation of the psychological components in the works of these two artists. The results explain the importance of discussing the psychological components of artists and their artistic concepts, especially the works of visual artists, which is a tangible reflection of the hidden layers of their personality.
Research aims:
1. A study of the psychological components of the audience's mental ability in interpreting the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi.
2. An analysis on the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi according to a psychological point of view.
Research questions:
1. Considering the application of psychological components in art, how can the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi be interpreted and analyzed?
2. Which of the psychological components has more colorful effects in the paintings of Ali Akbar Sadeghi and Nikzad Nojomi?

Abstract
Among the traditional arts, Islamic architecture and its associated decorations has always been the perfect setting for the presence of various visual elements, particularly decorative ornaments. A number of remaining monuments from the Ilkhanid era such as the tombs of Qom's Green Dome (the tomb of Khajeh Ali Safi which is the main focus of this research) provide a clear example of this artistic richness that due to its potential visual abilities can be found in today’s art and in branches of contemporary art including graphic arts. This research is based on a "historical-comparative" method and a collection of findings based on library and documentary sources and field surveys. Firstly, a brief study of the historical background of the monument and the identification of the types of ornamentation used in the tomb, including herbal, geometric and inscriptional decorations among which the plant motifs occupy most of the ornamentation will be studied. In the following, the factors and elements of this role are discussed and their visual characteristics (rhythm, balance, symmetry, composition, unity, harmony of positive and negative space, etc.) are identified in order to understand the graphical dimensions of these motifs. Given that visual qualities and literacy are well-respected in these motifs, the above decorations can become a rich visual source for today's graphic designers.
Research objectives:
1. Identifying the variety and characteristics of the motifs of Khajeh Ali Safi's tomb.
2. Extraction of motifs and studying its graphical features which can lead to revival and reuse of motifs in today's graphic arts.
Research questions:
1. What are the features and visual literacy of the tombstone designs of Khajeh Ali Safi?
2. What is the diversity of the decorative elements of the tomb?

Abstract:
Currently, technology influences cultural and artistic values in societies more than ever. Its development also depends on its adaptation to cultural and social circumstances. The possibility of publishing cultural and artistic works on electronic networks for an indefinite period, while creating a special attitude, has altered the social identity of human beings and has formed a new cultural atmosphere; to the extent that in all societies, both Islamic and non-Islamic, the linking between modern culture, art and technology with the help of new media has created new meanings for concepts such as freedom, verity and reality. The topic here is to explain the social impact of technology on Islamic art and its nature in the modern era. This article applies a descriptive-analytical method to examine the social effects of technology on culture particularly Islamic art in the present era from the perspective of the Frankfurt School. The findings of the research indicate that although it continuously appears that Islamic culture and art should be considered from the perspective of the spiritual world of Islam; nonetheless in the global village of the contemporary era, where technology has shifted to social change in all societies, it has become a stimulus for cultural innovation; hence, a new approach is desirable in the field of Islamic art. Conversely, basically in Islamic culture, the mystical and intuitive view of the artist on the phenomena of the world has led to the formation of art, which narrates the beauty of the exhibition of the manifestation of the divine essence in the terrestrial world with a dissimilar nature from the definition of art in the modern world. Thus, technology as the main force for creating social organization in all societies and the transformation of social and cultural relations is one of the main concerns of the followers of critical theory.
Research aims:
1. An analysis of the Frankfurt School's critical thinking approach to the interaction of modern technology with culture and art in the present age.
2. The study of the impact of technology as a social phenomenon and philosophical subject on Islamic art in the modern world from the perspective of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School.

1. According to the Frankfurt School approach, how can a connection be made between Islamic art and technology?

Abstract:
The city is the last phase in the development of the primitive human environment. Cities are the crystallization of the cultural, economic, social and physical systems of their time. The existing cities in Iran undergone various stages in terms of formation. The study of the history of urban planning in Iran dates back to ancient times. Today, traces of a number of such cities remain. The city of Gur, which dates back to the Sassanid period, is one of the cities mentioned above. The city of Gur is a symbol of the manifestation and exhibition of the consequences of the human soul and the performance of gathering of the Iranian community in the formation and organization of one of the significant urban spaces in Iran in the early Sassanid era. The city of Gur is the first city founded by the Sassanids. The issue raised here is the possibility of recognizing the art and civilization of the Sassanid era by examining this historic city. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and documentary analysis. Findings of the research indicate that the city of Gur expresses the personality, destiny and the passage of historical developments of the people of this land; furthermore, its knowledge in the form of culture and civilization of Sassanid Iran can be deliberated. Acknowledging the city of Gur is not only significant in terms of geographic features rather it is the recognition of political, cultural, social, artistic and architectural values; in other words, the city is a piece of history that has been materialized from the mind and embodied in the form of public habitats, networks, streets, public places, fire temples and observatories.

Abstract:
Most museums worldwide behold valuable artifacts that despite their magnificence, do not have a specific identity, in this regard, The National Museum of Iran is no exception. Many of the works preserved at the museum have little or no recorded information. One of the exquisite and artistic works of the Islamic section of the National Museum of Iran is a wooden door numbered as 3292; this magnificent door is ornamented with a variety of inscriptions and plant adornments. According to the Museum's information, the door is attributed to the city of Behbahan and dates from the fifth century AH. By first studying the inscriptions and door decorations and comparing them with the specimens of the wooden doors with the initial dating information and the text of the inscriptions beholding Shi’ah concepts, it appears that the above door is related to the late fourth or early fifth century AH and is related to the Buyid period. In regard to Islamic ornamentations, wooden door inscriptions partake a vast array of decorations; hence, many decorations have religious contents. The names of the five figures of Al-e Aba, the Divine names of Allah neatly settled in frames of circle and rhombus shapes, sections of “Tobeh” prayer of Sahifah of Sajadiyyah, verse 1 to 52 of Surah Yasin, the prayer of Imam Zaman (pbuh) and inscriptions relating to the ruler of the time are the inscriptions engraved on the mentioned door appearing in four rectangular frames. The present article follows a descriptive and analytical approach and the goals of the research include classifying, identifying and completing the door's historical identity. After interpreting and reading all the inscriptions of the door including all four historical inscriptions by the authors of the article, it can be concluded that the ancient door was built between 440 and 448 AH at the Fars province of Iran by the order of the last Buyid ruler. Regarding the original location of the mentioned door, by studying the documents regarding the missing door of Imamzadeh Hamza of Dehdasht in the 1920s by the trustee of the Imamzadeh to the Minister of Culture and Art of the time, provided an effective factor in specifying the identity of the main door location. Examination of the letters and documents found that the stated door belongs to Imamzadeh Hamzah of Dehdasht locating 60 kilometers from Behbahan. The present study, by clarifying the historical and spatial status of the ancient door, presents this unique wooden artwork as a valuable artifact of Buyid Shi’ah art of the fifth century AH.

Abstract
Colors have exceptional visual, semantic and mystical properties and are considered as the most significant tool for creating works of art. The concealed and inner meanings of colors in traditional coloring have remained unknown till today. In the art of creating traditional Iranian paint, functional elements have a distinct place and uniqueness.

Abstract:
Nomadic way of life based on housing migration is flexible in accordance with the living conditions and lifestyle arising from the standard of living that is the reason for the adaptation of nomads to the climatic conditions of the environment around them, housing that has survived from the past to the present and with sustainable environmental, physical, economic and social conditions that have successfully achieved the effects of maintainable housing. The aim of this study is to identify the components of the formation of sustainable nomadic housing. In fact, the black tent has all the definitions and meanings of a house, which is at a low cost and with a simple appearance but high in efficiency, which despite the flexibility in the dimensions of nomadic life and housing, can be found in justifiable housing factors, housing that meets the conditions of the natural environment and its inhabitants. The method of this research is data collection within a documentary framework based on local interviews with the tribes of the Qashqai community; moreover, the research method is classification and content analysis. This study introduces the spatial dimension of physical and functional elements of nomadic housing in various types of flexibility and the dimension of environmental sustainability introduces functional and structural elements and their adaptation to diversity and adaptability. In the field of social sustainability, it examines the concepts of nomadic life structure in each of the three types of flexibility. Findings indicate that the use and integration of these principles with modern technology and expertise can be a step towards the richness of the design and implementation of mobile and sustainable housing.
Research aims:
1. Achieving flexibility indicators in environmentally achievable lifestyle.
2. Recognition and re-reading of nomadic housing in order to design a suitable model for mobile housing

Abstract:
Historical sources or letters have been tools of administration of court affairs in the history of Iran. Recognizing the text of these works is a significant step in acknowledging the mysteries of the ancient administrative structure. One of the imperative pillars of the administrative structure in Iranian society in the Islamic period was the judiciary system. The establishment of justice is one of the most vital Islamic principles in the Muslim community and the kings, as the representatives of God's justice on earth, considered themselves responsible for the institution of justice; hence, this act became conceivable through religious positions, specifically through judging. This article examines the documents of appointment of judges in the Timurid period in Greater Khorasan via a descriptive and analytical method and relying on archival and library data. Findings show that according to the remaining documents and sources, the judges beheld a vast range of authorities in terms of Sharia and local customs in the society and according to the principals of judge selection, they were renowned for their direct relation with the people and courtiers in terms of a governmental and religious outlooks. A number of these judges, while supporting artists, were considered great poets, artists and writers of the Timurid period. Analysis of existing historical drawings emphasizes the importance of this position.

Abstract:
The matter of art and beauty has been deliberated upon as one of the inherent aspects of human life in various religions, accordingly, a main part of art in diverse societies has advanced around religious art. An imperative share of the history of Shiism has been devoted to the confrontation of Akhabri and fundamentalist scholars. The effects of this confrontation are generally beyond the scope of view and have manifested themselves in various forms in historical periods. Each of these sects have at times attempted to isolate the other party in the field of thought and action, and at times due to the necessities have reached coexistence. With the rise of the Qajar dynasty, the fundamentalists and the followers of the Akhbari opinion returned to politics after a long period of segregation and renewed previous rivalries. However, the confrontation between the fundamentalists and the Akhbaris was their last serious opposition. Art and beauty are one of the vital features of society and as a central issue, study in this field is considered significant from the viewpoint of Akhbari and Ijtihad Islamic jurisprudence. This research is accomplished via a descriptive and analytical method by relying on library data. The findings of the study indicate that the fundamentalists and the Akhbaris both had a positive and supportive view of the issue of art, its dimensions and beauty, considering the basic principles of Islam and the Hadiths remained from the Imams.

Abstract
The study of architectural principles in various regions indicates the close relationship between the common architecture in each region and its geographical environment. Scrutinizing the characteristics of architectural styles in different regions and their merits can be effective in providing optimal architectural patterns. Indigenous housing in the hot and dry climate of Iran has constantly provided thermal comfort for its residents; followed by the coordination of the principles of construction according to climatic conditions, environmental comfort and energy saving solutions. Hence, such features can be used in contemporary architecture as rich patterns of former architecture. The issue raised here is the capacity of indigenous architecture used in modern architecture. This research is completed by a descriptive and analytical method with an applied purpose and the use of qualitative and quantitative inference method along with field analysis of native houses of Yazd city; moreover, data collection is accomplished with the aid of library studies and field observation. Findings show that in many cases, indigenous housing patterns of hot and dry climates have a noteworthy outcome on cultivating the thermal comfort of building users.

Abstract:
Religions in the history of the world have gone through ups and downs. In this process, the fusion of religions and their ideas with each other has also taken place. The history of Iran has also witnessed the emergence of different religions and sects. One of the religious tendencies in Iranian society is Sufism and Sufi tendencies. Studies show that Sufism and mysticism is not an emerging school of imitation, although it has been given an Islamic suffix, because not only is there no Sufism and mysticism in Islam, but most religious scholars also oppose such schools, and in the meantime Also, some "theologians" use the word "mystic and mysticism" instead of "Sufism and Sufism" to justify themselves, and show that the origin of Sufism and mysticism and its nature need to be examined. The present study was conducted by descriptive and analytical methods and relying on library data and conducting oral interviews. The findings of the research indicate that due to the interconnectedness of religions, Islamic Sufism and mysticism is a phenomenon of the ancient Mithraic religion. This issue can be understood by examining the temples of the people of truth and its structure and coordinates.

Abstract:
Revolutions have taken place at diverse times throughout history and in various societies and each bear their own nature and ideology appropriate to the society and culture in which they have been formed. The Iranian society also experienced a revolution in 1978 named as the Islamic Revolution of Iran in which the main philosophy behind this uprising was Islam. In accordance with this ideology, the Iranian society witnessed the presence of unalike groups and strata simultaneously with the emergence of the Islamic Revolution; in this case, the role of women was valiant. Similarly, in the Algerian society, a revolution took place in 1954, in which women also played a vital role. The issue that can be raised here is the role of cultural and religious elements in the participation of women in the two aforementioned revolutions; moreover, the position of women in such societies subsequently to the revolution is also studied. This research has been written in a descriptive and analytical method by the means of library data. The research findings indicate that Iranian women have played a pivotal role in organizing and accompanying the phases of the revolutions by attending cultural events. In Iran and Algeria, women's rights have been the subject of serious debates of a political-religious nature. In general, Iranian intellectual women provided a powerful example of gender activism in the Islamic context after the Iranian revolution. However, due to the dominance of a number of cultural and religious propositions, the role and presence of women in societies such as Iran and Algeria was limited after the triumph of the revolutions.

Abstract:
One of the intellectual and philosophical developments in recent centuries is the structuralism movement. The structuralism movement initiated since the 1960s which completely dominated the intellectual life of France. Structuralism or formalism focuses on the external structure of narratives beyond meaning and aesthetics and does not scrutinize the concealed rudiments and layers of the text such as imagination, signs, etc. One of the protruding movements of formalism is the linguistic formalist who studies the linguistic structure of texts; henceforth, poetry as an example of linguistic structure has also been influenced by the formalist movement; hence, by examining the poems of contemporary poets, the extent to which the formalist is influenced can be exposed. Mehdi Akhavan Sales is one of the contemporary poets who has a collection of works. One issue that can be raised is the study of the linguistic structure of the Akhavan’s poems in terms of semiotic approach. This research intends to study the characteristics of the poetry of the mentioned poet based on a descriptive and analytical method. The research findings show that the Akhavan’s poetry has a formalized poem with a unique linguistic structure. Epic and nationalist illustrations are abundant in his poetry and features such as archaism, anomaly and narration are present.

Character is the most central foundation of any story that plays an imperative role in conveying the plot and theme of the story; hence a story revolves around character and no story is formed without it. Bijan Najdi is one of the great novelists of the contemporary period that the novel "Cheetahs who ran with me" is one of his most famous and enduring novels in Persian literature, which has a lot of eloquence and rhetoric. In the art of painting, one of the subjects is considered by the characters and related issues, and Mohammad Baqer Aghamiri, one of the contemporary painters, beholds works in this field. In this research, based on descriptive-analytical method, personality types in terms of structure, characterization methods, perspective, time and manifestations used externally and internally of the characters have been analyzed. The findings of the research indicate that Bijan Najdi's novel is character-oriented and its greatest emphasis is on the main characters of the stories. In terms of characterization methods, the author has benefited more from the indirect method. The majority of the main characters in this novel are static characters. The adaptation of this type of characterization to the works of Mohammad Baqer Aghamiri shows the similarities in terms of attention to personality and its dimensions.

The adaptation of this type of characterization to the works of Mohammad Baqer Aghamiri shows the similarities in terms of attention to personality and its dimensions.
Research aims:
1. A study of the diverse aspects of characterization in Bijan Najdi's novel.
2. Adaptation of characterization in Bijan Najdi's novel and traditional contemporary painting with emphasis on the works of Mohammad Baqer Aghamiri.
Research questions:
1. What is the role and place of characterization in Bijan Najdi's novels?
2. What are the features of characterization in traditional Iranian contemporary novels and paintings?

Abstract:
One of the most important features of the space is to create the necessary opportunities for social interactions. When people interact with other people in the community, a stronger connection to their place and community is felt. This interaction not only affects their social spirits, but also contributes to the economic growth and development of the communities present in those spaces. Today, according to economic and social conditions, various spaces have been formed in the direction of human habitation, of which labor-industrial settlements are one of these places. Given the novelty and specific characteristics of this style of architecture, how social interactions are formed within such circumstances is an issue. Such towns exist in rural areas around Tehran. This research intends to study the status of social interaction in industrial estates around Tehran through descriptive-analytical method and relying on quantitative and qualitative approaches and to examine how to improve the interactional space in them. For this reason, two industrial towns "Abbasabad" and "Pishva" were selected from among the industrial towns of Tehran province, and since the need to study the indicators and components related to architecture and social and cultural interactions in industrial towns; experts and specialists in the field of architecture, along with a number of managers and experts in the two towns, were the case study sample and the expert questionnaire based on the hourly model was developed and presented to specialists. Findings indicate that increasing the quality of public spaces in settlements, appropriate design, especially the routes of staff and employees, the existence of gathering activities, focal spaces for gathering such as playgrounds or dining rooms, the possibility of presence people multiply being together in space and moments and creating common experiences in industrial estates, and promotes social and cultural interactions in industrial estates.

Abstract:
Today, the environment and its threatening problems is one of the most vital challenges facing diverse societies. Therefore, this issue overshadows various dimensions of new plans and ideas promoting within the society. Architecture, as one of the structures that is closely related to the earth and the face of nature, can play a chief role in environmental issues. The Kish Island, considered by the tourism and cultural sector, is one of the most central and strategic areas in the current geography of Iran; therefore, the study of coastal architecture and the environmental challenges is an essential and evaluable issue. The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical research in terms of method and nature. In this study, while introducing coastal tourism, the role of tourists and the environmental effects of related projects in the destruction of the environment and coastal architecture of Kish Island have been studied. Moreover, the collected data have been processed and analyzed using the SWOT analytical model. Findings confirm that based on the internal factors evaluation matrix, internal factors have not reacted well in tourism and coastal architecture and strengths and weaknesses have not been applied appropriately. Also, the study of external factors evaluation matrix shows that organizations and tourists in coastal architecture and tourism have reacted relatively well to external factor; and despite internal weakness, with the use of matrix-based interactive strategies based on the optimal strategy, the existing opportunities can be applied to remove obstacles.
Research aims:
1. Examining the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats affecting coastal architecture
2. Finding optimal strategies to improve the quality of coastal architecture in Kish
Research questions:
1. What effect will the environmental factors of tourism-related projects have on the coastal architecture of Kish?
2. What are the strategies to deal with the destructive effects on the coastal architecture of Kish Island?

Abstract:
Ilam is the name of the oldest civilization and government formed on the plateau of Iran, which ruled a large part of southwestern and western Iran from the third millennium BC onwards. This civilization with the center of Susa as the center of trade of the Iranian plateau with other neighboring lands such as "Mesopotamia". One of the most important artistic elements of Ilam civilization can be considered as their cylindrical seals. The issue here is how and to what extent the seals relate to religion and mystical concepts. This research seeks to investigate the relationship between seals and the effect of seals of the Ilamite period with religion and elements of religion by descriptive and analytical methods and relying on library data. Findings indicate that the most important designs of cylindrical beads in Ilam are dedicated to mythological-religious motifs, which in most cases are the representation of gods, religious ceremonies or Ilamite kings. On this basis, it can be said that the Ilamites initially embodied their gods in the form of animals. From the end of the fourth millennium, the gods became popular in mixed forms of animals. In the middle of the third millennium, these forms gave way to the combined animal-human gods, and after the beginning of the second half of the third millennium BC, the gods were embodied in human form. Finally, during the first millennium BC, the first steps were taken to alternate the gods into a single and invisible deity; hence, they were depicted on the seals in this manner.
Research aims:
1. An analysis on the influence of the element of religion on the seals and the effects of the seals of the Ilamite period
2. Study of the evolution and development of religious seal designs in the Ilamite period
Research questions:
1. What is the reflection of religion and devout elements in the seals of the Ilamite period?

Abstract:
Tourism, one of the sources of economic nourishment in different societies and can play an imperative role in development and income. The growth of the tourism industry is of great position for developing countries, which face complications such as high unemployment, limited foreign exchange resources and the monopoly economy. This study includes two communities, the first of which is the statistical community in order to identify the components that affect the competitiveness of tourism companies. The second statistical population includes an unlimited group of domestic and foreign tourists who have used the services of tourism companies at least one time. Data collection method was based on a 31-item researcher-made questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha method, the value of which was higher than 0.7 for all variables. Data analysis was performed from the implementation of questionnaires through SPSS and Smart Pls2 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (structural equation modeling). The results show that the seven factors of the model (strategy, image, service quality, value, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and financial performance) had a significant effect on the competitiveness of tourism companies in the country.

Abstract
Painting and poetry, as two arts that are closely related to one's thoughts and interests, are a reflection of common religious beliefs and associated symbols. Painting and poetry are both rooted from the same source and foundation and correspond to the thoughts and ideas of the author. Sohrab Sepehri, a contemporary poet and painter, has a special style that distinguishes his works from others. The issue that can be raised is how to reflect the cultural beliefs and mystical thoughts in Sohrab Sepehri's paintings. This research uses a descriptive method and content analysis to analyze the style of Sohrab Sepehri's paintings. The findings of the research indicate that Sepehri has used mystical ideas such as Islamic mysticism and Zen Buddhism in his paintings and his works are influenced by Zen behavior. Most mystical artists, including Sepehri, have paid much attention to nature, which is one of the obvious manifestations of the creation of the universe.; in this sense, Sepehri sees and feels God next to the tall pine tree in the middle of the night. Sepehri's works also have artistic and semantic themes of worldview of mysticism, including Islamic mysticism. In general, it can be said that mystical ideas and Zen Buddhist behavior have been very influential in the composition and drawing of Sepehri paintings. Also, the existence of mystical and Zen symbols of Buddhism, such as mountains, trees, etc. in Sepehri's paintings expresses Sepehri's naturalism, which is one of the mystical ideas and principles of Zen Buddhism.
Research aims:
1. The study of the influence of Zen thought and Islamic mysticism on the composition of Sohrab Sepehri's paintings.
2. A study of the symbolic aspects of the elements of nature in Sohrab Sepehri's paintings according to Zen Buddhism and Islamic mysticism.
Research questions:
1. What effect did Zen Buddhism and Islamic mysticism have on the composition of Sohrab Sepehri's paintings?

Abstract
Communication and culture have to coexist. Communication is the product of culture, an indicator of the structure, mean, and communication field. No culture can survive without communication. The mass media is the most important index of modern society and includes radio, TV, cinema, publications, and the Internet. Meanwhile, the visual media, particularly TV, is more significant and desired than the other media. This matter is actualized particularly where children are proposed as the serious applicants of TV programs. In this research, the culture-building by the Tajikistan child TV program (Baharestan) is studied by proposing cases such as visual culture, media philosophy, and child TV. The methodology of this research is documentary studies by Persian, English, Tajik, and Russian books about children and teens TV, the guided interview by employees and management of Baharestan network and viewing of this network, and monitoring 14 months of Baharestan TV programs in 2012 and 2013 that 6 months of this revision was analyzed. Moreover, the researcher-made questionnaire was used to measure the effect of culture-building of Baharestan network on Persian-language children of Iran, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. According to the obtained results in this research, it was tried to study all the relevant and efficient details of the growth and culture-building of children through TV by case stud of Baharestan TV.

Abstract:
Architecture, like other cultural phenomena, as a system of signs is a source for the study of semiotics. Since architecture is primarily created not to communicate but to perform a function, it is a distinct and challenging case for many semiotics; bearing this in mind, Umberto Eco has developed his theory of architectural semiotics. The data of this research have been collected by documentary method and examined by qualitative method and content analysis. Findings indicate that the relationship between form and function and the achievement of multiple layers of meaning in the structure under study (Imam Mosque of Isfahan) can be clarified based on the theory of echo architecture in which implicit meanings are placed in parallel with secondary functions. Thus, in order to corroborate its hypothesis that symbolic meanings belong to secondary functions, the present researcher attempts to apply the capacity of echo theory in response to the challenge between external and internal elements in Islamic architecture and to provide an analytical framework beyond one-sided perspectives.
Research aims:
1. Explaining the symbolic and esoteric meanings of the Imam Mosque of Isfahan.
2. Presenting a semiotic reading of the symbolic and esoteric meanings of the Imam Mosque of Isfahan in the light of the thoughts of Umberto Eco.
Research questions:
1. What is the role of symbolic and esoteric meanings in the architecture of the Imam Mosque in Isfahan?

Abstract:
Identity is one of the most complex concepts in the field of humanities and social sciences; A multifaceted phenomenon that reveals different principles and meanings from dissimilar perspectives. In a general view, identity can be considered as the result of the dialectic of the mental system and social and cultural structure. By adopting an identity view, the history of the report is not merely events, and the historian does not appear to be purely a static and inactive reporter, but the historian and his work have identities that find meaning in the general structure of other identities. National identity has several subsets, the most important of which is the status of language in its various dimensions, attention to national and ancient culture, and reference to ancient national beliefs and convictions. The history of Beyhaqi is one of the valuable historical monuments of the history of Iran in the Islamic period. The study of Iranian identity in this work is a matter for reflection. This research has been done by a descriptive and analytical method based on library data. The findings of the study indicate that although the Ghaznavid era should be considered a period of "weak Iranian identity" and the main reason was the non-Iranian roots of the rulers and the influence of the Baghdad caliphs in Iran, but Beyhaqi, like Ferdowsi, revived other Khorasanis. Persian literature has accomplished great efforts and in the margins of history has expressed the ancient Iranian customs, national ceremonies and Iranian poems and proverbs. During the mention of history, Beyhaqi has quoted verses from poets such as Rudaki, Ansari, Bo Hanifa Scafi, Daqiqi Labibi and a number of unknown poets on various occasions in order to take a step towards preserving and spreading the Persian language and literature and reviving Iranian culture. He has quoted 319 Persian verses and 290 Persian proverbs in the volumes of the history of Beyhaqi, and in contrast, he has used only 128 Arabic verses and 77 Arabic proverbs; moreover, he has also referred to ancient Iranian customs in four cases.
Research aims:
1. Examining the relationship between historical and political developments and the category of national identity.
2. Inspecting the fields of confrontation and conflict of Iranians with the phenomenon of intellectual invasion of foreign ethnic groups and the description of Abolfazl Beyhaqi's civil behaviors and cultural struggles.
Research questions:
1. What was the process of identity in the history of Beyhaqi?
2. What effect did social currents in the Ghaznavid period have on the national identity of Iranians?

Abstract:
The identity of people in society is formed in the light of various causes and factors. Location or environment is one of the most significant factors in categorizing individuals. The arrival and development of modern thought in Iranian cities has caused a change in the body and shape of the city in the past century. Moreover, this trend has accelerated, particularly in the last decade and after the Islamic Revolution, with the growth of technology. However, there is no comprehensive organization to change the mentality of individuals and their identity adaptation to the new body. It seems that the presence and use of citizens in these transformed environments has gradually led to a kind of spatial attachment in them. This research has been done by descriptive and analytical method and relying on quantitative and qualitative approach. To achieve the purpose of the research, after defining and explaining the concepts of spatial attachment, spatial identity and adaptive capacity, the conceptual model of the research was explained and defined and a structured questionnaire was designed based on it. Citizens and residents of area one of Tehran, according to the conditions of modern buildings in this area, were selected as the study sample. Therefore, after distributing the research questionnaire and reviewing these data by structural equation modeling, the research findings were reported. The results obtained from the findings showed that spatial attachment alone and directly will not be able to build an identity in the modern city and it is necessary for the presence of a mental adaptation in citizens' perceptions of the new environmental conditions.
Research aims:
1. Achieving the indicators of spatial attachment of the citizens of region one of Tehran from modern views.
2. Recognition and study of the effect of spatial attachment of modern urban views on the formation of spatial identity in the citizens of region one of Tehran.
Research questions:

Abstract:
Today, one of the architectural concerns in Tehran is the formation of houses without regional identity, the unification of the physical environment and the disappearance of the architectural identity and appearance of the houses. However, the concept of housing in Iran is tied to the culture and climate of each region, and this can be studied in stories and particularly climate literature and perceiving the views of authors that are taken from the layers of people's lives. The issue that can be raised here is the recognition of the role of climate stories in the awareness of architectural elements and features in the past. The research method of this research is descriptive with the method of comparative studies and the research approach is qualitative. The type of research is fundamental in terms of purpose, and considering that its output is supposed to be methodical, then it is explanatory in terms of the type of results and in terms of the technique of literary criticism analysis.

Research aims:
1. A study of the architectural features of the old houses of Tehran based on climatic stories.
2. Explaining the application of the theory of critical regionalism in recognizing the architecture of old houses in Tehran.
Research questions:
1. How can climate stories be used to recognize the architectural features of old houses in Tehran?
2. What is the use of the theory of critical regionalism in understanding the architecture of old houses in Tehran?
Today, one of the architectural concerns in Tehran is the formation of houses without regional identity, the unification of the physical environment and the disappearance of the architectural identity and appearance of the houses. However, the concept of housing in Iran is tied to the culture and climate of each region, and this can be studied in stories and particularly climate literature and perceiving the views of authors that are taken from the layers of people's lives. The issue that can be raised here is the recognition of the role of climate stories in the awareness of architectural elements and features in the past.

Abstract:
Management styles are explicit ways of making decisions. These styles can vary depending on factors such as community culture, task expectancy, workforce diversity and personality features, and finally, the abilities of leaders. A number of ancient sources are a reflection of management styles of their period; in this regard, the Shah Tahmasebi Shahnameh which is written based on Ferdowsi Shahnameh is considered as such. There are three mythological, epic and historical periods in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. Ferdowsi first applies the symbolic use of myth to express the management principles of kings and according to the epic atmosphere of such myths, he narrates the privileged views and superior management of the character. The method of conducting the present study is a descriptive-analytical method based on library data. The management styles studied in the present study are based on Tannbao and Schmidt (1973) theory of management styles, including: independent or authoritarian management style, sincere or paternal management style, democratic management style and free or non-intervention management style. The results indicate that Ferdowsi's poems create a new story by using figurative and symbolic language and through their political, social and cultural tendencies, have portrayed the management styles of kings and commanders.

Abstract:
The History of Beyhaqi written by Abolfazl Mohammad bin Hussein Beyhaqi was published during the contemporary Ghaznavid period and became a great historical artwork. Being attentive to political dialogues can be helpful in recognizing the political and social developments of this period by studying the contents of the mentioned book. Also, such interchanges are essential in achieving authoritarian goals and political and social power in Iran and other Islamic countries. The method of this research is analytical-descriptive through library studies. The findings of the study indicate that Amir Massoud, relying on his political conversations in the exercise of power, sought to dominate his thoughts over other beliefs and political views of courtiers. He considered this space a necessary path for the growth and consolidation of political and social sovereignty, both in the field of domestic and foreign policy. He uses behavioral and speech skills in the political and social space, such as: facial expressions and gestures, motions and other behaviors, both on his own and those of his other advisers, a comprehensive goal bestowed a deep belief in consolidation. An in-depth look at the political currents of his reign reveals insights and themes such as authoritarianism, intimidation, punishment, repression of intellectual and political opponents, and espionage. Diverse personal, social and political situations of courtiers, considering their temperaments and beliefs, is an important part of the political conversations of Sultan Massoud Ghaznavi with the courtiers in the illustrated history of Beyhaqi.

Abstract:
Poetry, a literary and artistic creation, is a combination of different elements. Imagination and illustration are significant aspects of poetry. Imaginary elements in this genre of literature play an important role in its beauty and permanence. Among these, lyrical poems are among literary forms in which illustration is prominently visible. Lyrical poetry is a reflection of the poet's personal feelings and emotions. Some literary works such as Khamseh Nezami, which were copied during the Safavid period, are also a reflection of pictorial and imaginative elements. The study of the reflection of illustration in the poems of lyrical poems with the five paintings of Shah Tahmasebi can illuminate the deep connection between poetry and painting. This descriptive and analytical method seeks to study the forms of imagination and illustration in systems such as Nasrin and Firooz, Salim and Salmi, Nel and Daman, Naz and Niaz. The research findings indicate the deep presence of illustration and imagination in such poetic artworks. The use of rhetorical industry, style and innovation of illustration is almost the same in all systems, but the style of illustration of the story of "Nel and Deman" has changed outlook midway. The most common criteria used in the imagination and illustration of these few systems are on such axes as emotion, communication and information, social class, the position of the beloved, speech and conversation, carpentry, planets and natural elements. In Khamseh Shah Tahmasebi's paintings, the element of imagination and illustration such as mourning, beloved, speech and natural elements can be evidently seen.
Research aims:
1. The place of illustration and imagination in four systems: Salim and Salmi, Firooz and Nasrin, Nel and Daman, Naz and Niaz.
2. A comparative study of pictorial and imaginative elements in the lyrical poetry with the paintings of Khamseh Shah Tahmasebi.
Research questions:
1. What effect and role does imagery and imagination have on the poetry of Salim and Salmi, Firooz and Nasrin, Nel and Daman, Naz and Niaz?
2. What are the similarities between the pictorial and imaginative elements in lyrical poems such as Salim and Salmi, Firooz and Nasrin, Nel and Daman, Naz and Niaz with the five paintings of Shah Tahmasebi?

Abstract:
Poetry and literature are constantly an echo of the events taking place in individual and social lives of people. It partakes an imperative role in motivation, hence poetry in various historical periods, while being a tool for expressing emotions, has also had a great power in encouraging various fields. Egypt is one of the countries that has experienced a complex set of domestic and foreign events in the contemporary period. The issue that can be raised here is the reflection of these developments and the type of confrontation with them in the poems of contemporary Egyptian poets such as Muhammad Afifi Matar. Afifi Matar is one of the committed poets of Egypt in the contemporary period who composed poems with the themes of stability against internal tyranny and oppression and the manifestations of resistance with the approach of awareness, nationalism and patriotism and relying on the homeland. Friendship and anti-oppression have become the main features of his works and the theme of his poems. This article is accomplished via descriptive-analytical method whilst relying on library data. The findings of this study indicate that Matar has preferred the structure of modern poetry to the old form of poetry and has chosen this form as a pleasant means to express his ideals and goals. The Divan of Mohammad Afifi Matar is full of themes such as motivating people to fight against oppressive rulers, advocating patriotism, fighting silence in the face of oppression, demanding the exit of occupiers, hoping for freedom and the elimination of oppression, and so on; ultimately this has led to visual descriptions of freedom and resistance in his poems.

Community agents and intellectuals in the fields of behavior and society, due to the rapid changes in society and factors such as the emergence of new ways of life, changing attitudes and norms of life and the emergence of socio-ethical issues, pay exceptional consideration to the need to promote lifestyle; moreover, they have experienced the desired society of Islamic culture. The issue raised here is the role of the application of visual arts in promoting a social lifestyle based on the Qur'an and Sunnah. The present study applies a descriptive and analytical method to achieve a model for promoting Islamic social lifestyle with the media as one of the new communication tools. In this regard, the present study with a strategic approach and with the aim of determining the role of Quran and Sunnah on people's social lifestyle in the media has reached the conclusion that the media has a role beyond program production due to its impact on various areas of life. Hence, adhering to religion and institutionalizing Islamic values and removing anti-religious programs from the media are imperative.
Research aims:
1. Analysis of the desired patterns of social life in Islamic culture with emphasis on the Qur'an and Sunnah
2. Investigating the role of visual arts and media in promoting social lifestyle according to Islamic culture
Research questions:
1. In Islamic culture, what are the criteria for a social lifestyle for individuals?
2. What is the role of visual arts and media in today's society in promoting a social lifestyle in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah?

Abstract:
Symbolism as one of the tools of pictorial expression and transmission of concepts has brought many works of Iranian painting closer in form and meaning. On the other hand, the use of symbol is also considered as one of the literary arrays. In the process of composing, what attracts the poet's sensation, emotion and imagination more is the creation and the space and scope of nature. Iranian artist creates in a symbolic atmosphere; Taking advantage of the valuable context of Persian poetry and literature, the Iranian painter has not sought to represent tangible nature, but to represent symbolic effects. Manouchehri Damghani and Molana Mohammad Jalaluddin Balkhi (Shams) are among the most prominent poets describing nature in Persian literature. The present study seeks to analyze the symbolic effects of nature in poetry and painting in the fourth and seventh centuries AH with a descriptive and analytical method. The research findings demonstrate that the use of lexical range in the poems of Manouchehri and Rumi shows that their poetic world is a green world filled with symbols resembling nature. The symbolism of nature depiction is beautifully visible in the poetry of these two poets and the painting of the fourth and seventh centuries AH. The invention and use of symbolic elements in Iranian painting in the mentioned centuries does not bear an independent form, but an evolutionary process in form and content based on Persian poetry and literature of this period with poets such as Manouchehri and Rumi and under the influence of naturalistic imagery influenced from Chinese art.
Research aims:
1. Recognition of the symbolic effects of nature in Iranian poetry and painting with emphasis on the poems of Manouchehri Damghani and Ghazals of Shams.
2. Comparison of the elements of nature from the point of view of Manouchehri (mere naturalist) and Rumi (Shams).
Research questions:
1. What is the place of the use of symbolism in the poems of Manouchehri and Rumi and in the paintings of the fourth and seventh centuries AH?

Abstract:
The knowledge gained in the field of social history in ancient Iran has constantly caused complications for researchers due to the method of historiography and the limitation of written sources. Meanwhile, the remnants of the Sassanid period (224-651 AD) provide researchers with more information in terms of quantity and quality. Nonetheless, the share of women as a significant population in society is limited. The issue under investigation in this study is how to recognize the situation of women in the Sassanid period based on the remaining seals of the mentioned period. This research has been done by a descriptive and analytical method whilst focusing on library data. The findings of the research indicate that according to the seals, stamps, coins and other works of art of the Sassanid period, in addition to the status of the queen, women have also reached the status of monarchy. Scenes of women next to men in the act of flower-giving acts considered as a request for matrimony and marriage is seen. The use of women's motifs on seals and other works of art can be considered as a new development and attitude towards women in Sassanid society.
Research aims:
1. A study of the position of women in Iranian society in the Sassanid period.
2. An analysis of the position of women in the Sassanid era based on the seals of this period.

Abstract:
One of the features of contemporary fiction is the issue of characterization and the use of symbols to convey concepts and themes. One of the outstanding works of contemporary fiction is the book Jai Khali Soluch by Mahmoud Dolatabadi. The issue that can be raised here is the reflection of the political, economic and social developments of this period and the use of characterization and symbols by the author. This research is accomplished by descriptive and analytical method and library data. The findings of the study indicate that the feudalism system governing Iranian agriculture was a method of exploitation and this phenomenon is reflected in the works of this period. One of the developments that took place in the field of agriculture during the second Pahlavi period was the issue of the White Revolution (1341 AD) and the land reforms along it, which were carried out by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. After these changes, a number of writers started creating works known as rural literature, in which they studied these changes and their reflection in the life of the villagers. One of the most famous of these books is “Missing Soluch", in which the symbolic aspects of the mentioned book is investigated in this study.
Research aims:
1. To describe the conditions of Iran's rural society after land reform in the book "Missing Soluch".
2. To study the characterization and symbolic descriptions in contemporary fiction with a case study of the "Missing Soluch" book.

1. How is the situation of the rural community of Iran after the land reform described in the book “Missing Soluch”?
2. What is the role of personality, characterization and symbolic description in conveying concepts in the book?
One of the features of contemporary fiction is the issue of characterization and the use of symbols to convey concepts and themes. One of the outstanding works of contemporary fiction is the book Jai Khali Soluch by Mahmoud Dolatabadi. The issue that can be raised here is the reflection of the political, economic and social developments of this period and the use of characterization and symbols by the author. This research is accomplished by descriptive and analytical method and library data. The findings of the study indicate that the feudalism system governing Iranian agriculture was a method of exploitation and this phenomenon is reflected in the works of this period. One of the developments that took place in the field of agriculture during the second Pahlavi period was the issue of the White Revolution (1341 AD) and the land reforms along it, which were carried out by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. After these changes, a number of writers started creating works known as rural literature, in which they studied these changes and their reflection in the life of the villagers. One of the most famous of these books is “Missing Soluch", in which the symbolic aspects of the mentioned book is investigated in this study.

Abstract:
Literary works, especially the poetry of poets, are a reflection of the social and cultural conditions of their time; since artists have keen insights and insightful thoughts, they explore the situation of society more carefully and highlight its irregularities in their work. In Persian literature, the expression of these shortcomings, disorders and dissatisfaction has been called "complaint". This type of poetry has a significant place, especially in Persian literature. Emad Faqih Kermani is one of the prominent poets of the eighth century AH who has unique beautiful poems in the form of ode and lyric. Examining "complaint" as a theme in his works can play a significant role in recognizing the social situation of this period. This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method and relying on library data. The findings of the research indicate that in the poetry of Emad Faqih Kermani, the poet has artistically raised these complaints and criticized the situation of the society of his time. Reflecting on the complaints of Emad al-Faqih, it can be seen that the political situation prevailing in the poet's era has been the basis of his greatest dissatisfaction. This displeasure is reflected in themes such as the humiliation of dervishes and the needy, the feeling of worthlessness, the humiliation of grace and art, the criticism of the structure and political agents.
Research aims:
1. Familiarity with the position of social and cultural grievances in Persian poetry.
2. Investigating the reflection of Emad Faqih Kermani's social and cultural complaints in his court.
Research questions:
1. What is the role of social and cultural grievances in the content of Persian poetry?

Abstract:
The skeletal form of the structure is undoubtedly closely related to the form of the carrier structure. However, the relationship between structural design and architectural design can yield many forms. Structures, as the foundation of buildings in all countries, provide a suitable platform for architectural design. In modern architecture, new tools and designs are used, including biotic architecture. In this research, the combined method (descriptive and analytical-qualitative-historical) is applied to study and the collection and analysis is accomplished based on library studies. The results of this study show that bionic architecture is in fact a creative tool to achieve effective and efficient goals. Observance of legal and logical principles in building structures provides the ground for new architecture and appropriate visual vision. The bionic perspective on architectural design takes place in different areas. At times the aesthetic aspect of the project, and at other times the structure, climate issues and the functional solutions have been the goal of the designer of this field. With the results obtained in the analysis of case studies, it can be determined that the interaction effects of structure and architecture from the perspective of bionic architecture are significant and structure and architecture interact closely with each other and the avoidance of any of the mentioned categories can cause irreparable damage.
Research aims:
1. Investigating the interactions of structure and architecture and how they interact with each other
2. Investigating the status of modern architecture and the use of natural instruments (bionic architecture) as a symbol (aesthetics)
Research questions:
1. What is the role of structures on modern architecture and aesthetic standards in developing countries?
2- How can the physical quality of space be expanded by using the new technology of the third millennium and the harmonization of structure and architecture?

Abstract:
Psychological studies emphasize the deep connection between beauty and the feeling of peace and security. In today's society, human beings are facing unalike environmental changes. The creation of residential complexes is one of aforementioned fluctuations in the environmental structure of the society. One issue that can be raised is the impact of residential complexes, as new structural alterations, on the security of individuals. Hence, aesthetics is a science that can be applied to generate a sense of safety. Today, the existence of security, as one of the foremost requirements of human beings, is one of the most vital structural factors in the quality of life. This research has been accomplished with a descriptive and analytical method and with the application of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The present study population includes more than 2000 as the research sample. After distributing the questionnaire, data was analyzed using SPSS software at both descriptive and inferential levels. Findings show that the five main factors have a significant impact on environmental security and crime reduction in the context of residential complexes. These 5 factors are physical security, surveillance, fear of crime, territory, management and maintenance. After comparing their means in the sample group, the results showed that the component of surveillance has a high average and the component of fear of crime beheld a lower average. Other variables (physical security, territory, and management and maintenance) also had a moderate value. Therefore, physical security, supervision, fear of crime, territory, management and maintenance have a significant role in environmental security in the context of residential complexes. Paying attention to these components along with creating natural environments has an imperative role in stabilizing the space with the dominance of beautiful and relaxing structures in residential complexes.
Research aims:
1. Investigating the role of aesthetic structures in creating a sense of security in residential complexes.
2. Identifying the most effective factors on the security of the residential context.
Research questions:
1. What factors play a role in creating environmental aesthetic structures in residential complexes?

Abstract:
The reign of Buiids (322-448 AH) has been one of the most significant periods in the history of Iran in terms of culture and civilization. There are works left from this period that show the architecture of this period. A study of the nature of architecture of this period and its elements can reveal the course of architecture in Iran and its developments in this period. This research has been done based on a descriptive-analytical method and library information collection technique. The research findings indicate that in the Buiid period, the architecture of early Islam with the cultural changes of the Sassanid period and the use of cultural enhancements and social and religious perceptions had fundamental elements in the form of innovation. In a way that is both reminiscent of the past and expresses the phenomenon of diversity in the evolution of Iranian architecture. Early Islamic architectural materials relying on environmental conditions include layers, clay, brick and stone. In most parts of Iran, the use of clay and earth has been constantly used from ancient times until now since the materials have always been ecological and were supplied from the same environment and surroundings. The beautifications of the early Islamic buildings rely on the decorations of earlier periods, in other words, they are a long historical painting, as it was used in the first prehistoric temples. In the Buiid period, there is a combination of architecture derived from Islamic culture and architecture left over from the ancient Iranian period, which can be reflected in the use of decorative motifs along with ancient architectural materials.
Research aims:
1. Recognition of sustainable architectural elements in the buildings of Buiid period.
2. A study of the aesthetics of patterns in the architecture of the Buiid period.
Research questions:
1. What features and elements did architecture have in the Buiid period?
2. What is the place of motifs and designs in the architecture of the Buiid period?

Abstract:
Islamic architecture, like other types of architecture, is related to epistemology and ontology in the culture of society. To apprehend traditional Islamic architecture, or any other form of traditional architecture, it is compulsory to be acquainted with the style of traditional attitudes towards architecture as a whole and its constituents. The most central of these components is space. Safavid period (1135-907 AH) is one of the brilliant periods of architecture in Iran. This historical period has been one of the most sensitive historical periods in terms of the prosperity of Islamic culture and thought. In the contemporary period, with the expansion of relations with the West, Islamic architecture was also influenced to some extent by new innovations. The issue that can be raised here is the degree of influence of Safavid and contemporary architecture in terms of the signs of Illuminationism within them. This research is based on descriptive and analytical methods and grounded on library studies and field observations. The architecture of Isfahan Grand Mosque and Al-Ghadir Mosque in Tehran have been studied as prominent examples of Safavid and contemporary architecture as two architectural works. The research findings indicate that the world in the mind of the Safavid architect is based on holy verses and religious narrations, consequently in the architecture of the Imam Mosque of Isfahan, the issue of Illuminationism is evidently reflected. In the Al-Ghadir Mosque, the purity of the volumes used, the application of materials and brick and tile decorations in the façade and the use of elements and concepts of past architecture presented in a new expression indicate the influence of postmodernist movements in contemporary architecture.
Research aims:
1. Recognition of the signs of the wisdom of enlightenment in Isfahan Grand Mosque and Al-Ghadir Mosque in Tehran
2. Comparative study of the architecture of Isfahan Grand Mosque and Al-Ghadir Mosque in Tehran

Abstract:
The position and prominence of women in any society is associated to the attitude of the time and individuals towards women. The place of women in Iranian society has always has been controversial. In the meantime, the works of poets can be a mirror for understanding the situation of women. By considering the fact that the worldview of every poet, writer, or thinker is influenced by the intellectual, social, and cultural memory of the time and place in which the person exists; Sanai and Rumi are prominent Iranian poets whose works reflect the political, social and cultural conditions of their life. The issue raised in this study is the transformation of the position of women in society during the time of the mentioned poets. This research is accomplished by a descriptive and analytical method and relies on library data. Findings show that from the Sanai to Rumi periods, a unique social and cultural change took place that led to the enhancement of the status of women and this has been effective in the depiction of women's personalities. Sanai has a mainly negative and critical view of women and rarely cares about her position as a mother and in the service of her religious attitude towards women; nonetheless, Rumi considers woman as a manifestation of divine beauty; furthermore, in Rumi's poetry, woman is the soul, earth, and essence, and she complements creation and this distinguishes the manner in which the female figure is depicted in the poetry of Sanai.

Abstract:
Romantic themes and the description of the beloved have been one of the constant pillars of the structure and content of the sonnet as a form of poetry since its foundation. However, the historical course of the sonnet indicates that there have been conceptual alterations in a number of periods. Undoubtedly, a set of changes in the cultural and social atmosphere of a society can play a role in creating changes in the styles of poetry and lyrical themes; as they are a passage for expressing feelings and spiritual belongings. In classical lyric poetry, the beloved beholds a general and stable appearance, moreover, before the constitution, according to the descriptions of the lyricists, no change is visible in this appearance. Nonetheless, by studying the poetry of contemporary lyricists, a variation is seen in romantic themes, mainly in introducing the image of the beloved with a more artistic description. The question that arises here is that which components in the sonnets of contemporary Iranian poets have initiated the emergence of the artistic appearance of the beloved? The research findings show that the dramatic change in the artistic description of the beloved in the contemporary period is due to the type of lover-poet attitude towards the beloved. Components such as the desertion of repetitive descriptions and stereotypes of the beloved image in the sonnet, the use of novel and new similarities and resemblances in describing the beloved image and the invention of new attributes and combinations have led to changes in structure, form and format; furthermore, the lover has lost its generality and has moved towards individuality. Likewise, the owner-slave relationship between the lover and the beloved, which was the result of classical lyric poetry, gave way to a two-way relationship with mutual understanding. These changes are due to the revolution in the poet's lyrical mentality towards man and society. It demonstrations that the lover and the beloved have become closer to each other - and many of the desires of the lover, which were unreachable are now achievable. This approach of contemporary lyricists has led to the artistic depiction of the beloved in the lyric.

Abstract:
The rule of law is one of the multifaceted concepts and terms that has been one of the main concerns of developing countries in recent decades. Cultural and artistic fields similar to other dimensions of the social system in different societies, play a significant role in achieving inclusive growth and development. Iranian society in the contemporary period from the Pahlavi government (1941- 1978) completely exposed itself to development and this situation was followed after the establishment of the Islamic Revolution (1978). This study aims to investigate the status of the rule of law on contemporary cultural and artistic developments of Iran. The results of this study indicate that countries have not always used the same procedure in exercising the rule of law to achieve inclusive development, but have adopted various procedures based on diverse circumstances. In contemporary Iranian society, factors such as the importance of comprehensive development in society, confrontation with cultural diversity due to the growing communication in the world system, the role of the rule of law in establishing order in the cultural and artistic space and the issue of protection of Islamic values and Islamic ideology have revealed the need to establish legal institutions and codify laws in the field of culture and art; hence, the rulers and politicians took the necessary measures for the rule of law on cultural development.

Abstract:
Art of expression partakes diverse fields and is one of the most comprehensive and concurrently the most interesting type expression is manifested in art, the use of which undoubtedly has a significant impact on the production of quality and luxurious artwork since art is a form of expression and expression is also a practice of art. Meanwhile, in the study of poetry, as an artistic phenomenon, the first phenomenon that attracts the attention is the poet's artistic expression. Works of art, including poetry, act as a prism that presents a diverse perspective from each angle, and the collection of these perspectives provides a general and comprehensive depiction of the prism. One of the significant feature of poets is their relationship with elders and courtiers as for means of encouragement and support, hence, in the poems of such poets, the association between the poet and the praised one is clearly perceived. Among them, poets such as Farrokhi and Manouchehri have addressed “the praised one” in their poetry. This article intends to study and apply the artistic expression of poets such as Farrokhi and Manouchehri in the request for admiration from “the praised one”; moreover, the comparison of such appeals in poetry with the paintings of the eighth century AH is also focused upon. The category of request and appeal, which is one of the sub-branches of lyrical literature, has appeared in the poetry of the mentioned poets in various means and in their poetry they have expressed this feature in an artistic and diverse manner.

Art of expression partakes diverse fields and is one of the most comprehensive and concurrently the most interesting type expression is manifested in art, the use of which undoubtedly has a significant impact on the production of quality and luxurious artwork since art is a form of expression and expression is also a practice of art. Meanwhile, in the study of poetry, as an artistic phenomenon, the first phenomenon that attracts the attention is the poet's artistic expression. Works of art, including poetry, act as a prism that presents a diverse perspective from each angle, and the collection of these perspectives provides a general and comprehensive depiction of the prism. One of the significant feature of poets is their relationship with elders and courtiers as for means of encouragement and support, hence, in the poems of such poets, the association between the poet and the praised one is clearly perceived. Among them, poets such as Farrokhi and Manouchehri have addressed “the praised one” in their poetry. This article intends to study and apply the artistic expression of poets such as Farrokhi and Manouchehri in the request for admiration from “the praised one”; moreover, the comparison of such appeals in poetry with the paintings of the eighth century AH is also focused upon. The category of request and appeal, which is one of the sub-branches of lyrical literature, has appeared in the poetry of the mentioned poets in various means and in their poetry they have expressed this feature in an artistic and diverse manner. In this regard, an attempt has been made to study the poems of mentioned poets in order to extract, study and analyze the varieties of material and immaterial requests and appeals towards the praised one.

Abstract:
Urban landscapes, the first and most external covering, in addition to introducing the identity and personality of cities, consciously or unconsciously affects human beings and the perception resulting from these consequences are the cause of human behavior in the environment. In the present study, the theoretical framework is designed based on the general theories proposed in the field of perception phenomenology, particularly in the field of architecture and urbanism. The study area (three middle cities of northwestern Iran) includes Mahabad, Buchan and Saqez, which in general have a uniform consistency of ethnic, cultural, religious and customs commonalities. The sample study includes 154 participants, including 94 men and 60 women are selected by purposive and non-probabilistic sampling. Moreover, the research method is a combination of phenomenological and grounded theory. The grounded theory method is used in the data coding and category extraction stage and the interpretive phenomenology method is used in the data interpretation section. The results of the study identify the components affecting the perceptual experiences of urban landscapes, and finally, a diagram of the perceptual stages of urban landscapes is presented, which can be considered as a paradigm in the design of urban landscapes.
Research aims:
1- Developing a phenomenological model for the perception of urban views
2- Proposing solutions for designing urban facades to achieve more humane spaces
Research questions:
1- What are the mental and objective components of urban views that affect the perception of the audience?
2- According to the phenomenological theories of perception, urban patterns are perceived based on what pattern or model in the mind of the audience?
Keywords:

Abstract:
Mandala is one of Jung's most important archetypes associated with some numbers, geometric shapes and concepts, the most important of which is unity and the most prominent geometric shape of the circle that can be observed in art and literature. Kurdish. Child and adolescent storytellers have used mythological archives as a tool to enrich their stories. Mandala is one of the archetypes used in the stories of children and adolescents. Given that children's and adolescent writers tend to be mythical and need to be scientifically applied using this efficient tool, this paper has attempted a library-based approach with a descriptive-analytic approach. Examine Mandala in the stories of children and adolescents. For this purpose, Mandala is first briefly defined and then this type of archetype is analyzed in the stories of children and adolescents. Mandala appears to be expressed in the stories of children and adolescents in symbols such as time, moon, sun, cave, fountain, numbers, and circle.
Research aims:
1. Presenting the analysis of Mandala patterns in the story of a child and adolescent.
2. A study of the function of Mandala in the story of a child and adolescent.
Research questions:
1. In which ways did Mandala appear in the story of a child and adolescent?
2. What is the role of the mandala in the story of a child and adolescent?

Abstract:
Empirical marketing is one of the most widely used methods of developing various jobs and industries today. Among these, the field of cultural tourism is one of the fields that requires the application of new marketing approaches. Therefore, in the present study, the role of commercial marketing has been investigated. The aim of this study is based on an applied-developmental research and in terms of implementation method in the field of descriptive-survey research; moreover, a correlational type and heuristic mixed method has been used. At the qualitative stage, the research decision team consists of 20 managers, experts and specialists with characteristics such as availability, experience, suitability of the field of study, holding a doctoral or master's degree, university teaching and authorship experience. In a small stage, the statistical population consists of tourists from Neyshabour, whose number is unlimited; also, the Krejcie and Morgan table has been used to determine the sample size; consequently, the sample size was 384 people and the random sampling method was stratified. Fuzzy Delphi method and factor analysis have been used to identify experimental marketing indicators. The results showed that 6 general categories (five senses, emotion, thinking, relationship, action and reaction, excitement) and 33 sub-indicators have been introduced as the most important indicators of cultural tourism branding with emphasis on sensory marketing.
Research aims:
1. Investigating the role of commercial marketing in the field of cultural tourism
2. Explaining the cultural tourism branding model with emphasis on experimental marketing using Delphi technique and structural equations
Research questions:
1. Can commercial marketing play a role in the development of cultural tourism?
2. Can empirical marketing be effective in creating a cultural tourism branding pattern?
