Ili and nomadic braids are a part of the weaving system and an outstanding example of the native arts of this layer, which is remarkable in the artistic and visual field. in the meantime, kormanji weavings in north Khorasan are a part of this system, which has visual capacity and capabilities in terms of aesthetics (design, pattern, and color). therefore, the process of decorating the text of the weaves is done in the light of the simple concept of weaving, mental weaving, and the result is the formation of patterns with a geometric and abstract nature. due to the type and form of the pattern, the style and format of expression of shapes and forms are created, which can be defined in two abstract and abstract styles from a visual and visual point of view. this approach can be explained for all motifs of nomadic weaves. from this point of view, the question is, what are the types of kormanj woven motifs and what are the characteristics and criteria of applying abstract styles to the said motifs and designs? the aim of this research is to identify, classify and analyze all kinds of abstract motifs in kormanj weavings. the upcoming

The purpose of this paper is ex planting indigenous Vareh cooperation member's cognitive semantic in their daily life. This will lead to finding out how they learn from daily interactions with surrounding environment, social and economic conditions, which is based on mind-experience-language interaction. This paper is run out by a triple approach as well as documentary and hermneutic research methods. The first method was used to find out relative documents about Vareh cooperation. The hermneutic method was used to find out how subjective-objective semantic interactions are led to new understanding and learning by Vareh members. This on-gaining process by available equipment will lead to new knowledge. Meanwhile, family members, groups, politics, ethics, society, indigenous technologies, etc. are affecting this process. However, this cognitive semantic process in daily lives lead to Cognitive Hi-Techs which is a prerequisite for development; specifically for rural and nomadic people; This process is demonstrated by a model which is presented at end of this article.

Glass is a unique material that is regenerated by a vital glassmaker.Glassmaking in Iran goes back thousands of years. With the advent of Islam, it entered a new stage.The 3rd to 6th centuries A.H.are considered to be the most important periods of glassmaking, the Islamic era.The upcoming research on the comparative study and examination of the glass perfumers of the Islamic era, relying on documentary studies with a historical approach in a descriptive-analytical way, answers these questions, what are its visual characteristics and is it influenced by pre-Islamic art?How was its influence on the governments of the same time and after it?Studies show that it was heavily influenced by the art and culture of the Sassanid period and the use of scorpions, cats, horses, and the bodies and heads of birds, which were combined and made based on the artist's imagination.It seems that the artists received specialized training from the Syrian artisans who were in Samarra under the control of the Sasanians, and also the works obtained in other parts of the world show that Iranian artists have influenced the artisans and artists of Syria and Iraq by creating mysterious and beautiful works.The following centuries will make similar to it

The historical relationship between humans and nature can be introduced and investigated with Indigenous ecological knowledge used in conservation policy-making and should be considered in governmental and formal conservation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of the local people with Persian leopard, Brown bear, and Grey wolf in three protected areas of Hyrcanian forests in Mazandaran and Gilan provinces with an ethnographic approach. During interviews with more than 40 local people and holding group meetings, several questions were asked, including general knowledge of the species, beliefs and stories, use of body parts, and how to keep away carnivores from properties and hunting methods. The results indicated that the locals had high experience and knowledge about the nature and wildlife around them. Due to leopard and wolf attacks on livestock and lack of compensation, there is a negative view of these species, especially wolves. The use of bear bodies, especially fat, was heard among all three tribes. Talysh people quoted different stories and myths specifically about the wolf and bear. In educational planning, paying attention to the history of positive and negative beliefs about these species can lead to effective protection in these areas

The tourism industry is an ancient phenomenon in human societies that has reached its economic, social and ecological position over time in different historical stages. Rural tourism is also considered a part of the tourism industry, which can play an effective role in the development of these areas with proper planning and identification of the advantages and limitations of rural tourism and, as a result, national development and diversification of the national economy. The important topic and basic goal of this research is local knowledge and its relationship with the issue of tourism development in Dashaksan village, Meshkinshahr city, Ardabil province. The theoretical framework of the research is based on the use of the school of functionalism, relying on the theory of needs and the school of structuralism. The tools for collecting information and data are: books, scientific and research articles, atlases and geographical maps, video camera, photo camera, voice recorder and interview, slip and notebook. The findings of this research are the indigenous knowledge of traditional water mills (Diyarman and Diyarmanchaliq) and its modern structure and function among the people of this village and their relationship with the development of tourism in Dashaksan village.

Bridges in the mountainous land of Iran as structures with indigenous architecture have existed since prehistoric times. Crossing the permanent and abundant rivers of Lorestan, which flow in deep valleys, was not easy without using a bridge. Several remaining inscriptions at the site of several historical bridges in Lorestan are evidence of this claim that Badr ibn Ḥasanwayh in the fourth century AH had repaired and rebuilt huge bridges on the rivers of Lorestan, especially the Kashkan River. Therefore, the aim of this research is to introduce one of the important water structures in the Zagros basin and to read and understand the common indigenous techniques of bridge building in this period based on historical documents and evidence, through library and field studies using an interpretive approach and a qualitative strategy. The research, focusing on 4 case studies, while achieving the main framework of the common physical structure of the mentioned bridges, identified the reading of their indigenous techniques and knowledge, which included the technology of building foundations, the similarity of the passage surface and walkway, and the indigenous technique of wide arches in wide spans.
