MASTER's THESIS Strategies for Planning Domestic And 2008:024 MASTER'S THESIS Strategies for Planning Domestic and International Tourism Development of Qom Province With Emphasis on Religious Tourism Seyed Mahdi Heidarabadi Luleå University of Technology Master Thesis, Continuation Courses Marketing and e-commerce Department of Business Administration and Social Sciences Division of Industrial marketing and e-commerce 2008:024 - ISSN: 1653-0187 - ISRN: LTU-PB-EX--08/024--SE Abstract: Tourism with its broad range of impacts including amongst other economical, environmental, social-cultural benefits and costs, is a global phenomenon, which has variously attracted the attention of public and private sector interests. Because of its propensity to generate substantial economic benefits such as employment, foreign exchange ,income and tax revenues etc. developed countries and developing countries and in particular ,have embarked upon tourism-related development policies .One such developing country is the Islamic Republic of Iran ,the policy-makers of which are seeking to expansively develop its tourism sector as part of dialogue of civilization and introducing Iranian cultural ,historical and natural heritage to the world as well as means of achieving economic diversifications. Iran’s rich array of cultural and natural recourses, many of which are unique, constitute considerable actual and potential attractions and, therefore render Iran as a significant cultural tourism destination. Thus the overall purpose of the present study is to examine tourism attractions and to give strategies for tourism development of Qom province which is one of the main religious tourism destination of Iran and the Shiite world as it houses a lot of various attractions and a great number of tourists travel to this city to visit tourism attractions of Qom province. This province has got a very strategic political, geographical and tourism conditions in Iran. Qom receives more than 12 million local, regional and international pilgrims, tourists and as more than 16 provinces land transportations are crossing Qom. Korosh and Daryosh Hakhamaneshi erected the 2500 kilometers kingship road with necessary equipment (including: passengers, guiding bars, hostels, numerous Caravansaries, special official's appointment for keeping the road…). Iranian showed that they highly attend to hospitality and tourism. Establishing numerous roads with necessary equipment in history of Iran including Silk Road in Ashkanian era and Karballa-Mashhad in Safavieh 2 dynasty confirm this issue. In history, Iran has been one of the best countries for tourists as they mentioned in their itineraries. For example, Sharden, a famous French traveler in Safavieh era, wrote in his book in this way: "All over the world, there is no country like Iran for traveling either in respect of little dangers and safety of roads being watched precisely or low price of expenses thanks to large numbers of public building for passengers through out the empire, free residence in them, and existence of flat roads and bridges in impractical parts for country's caravans and passengers." There are one million and two hundred thousand tourism heritages and attractions in Iran which confirms Sharden's words nowadays. Tourism industry is so significant in economic and social development having been called "invisible export" by economists nowadays. 3 Acknowledgement: I would like to Thank Allah, God almighty, for giving me the courage and the strength to complete this thesis.

    The Role of Climate and Culture on the Formation of Courtyards in Mosques Hossein Soltanzadeh* Associate Professor of Architecture, Faculty of Art and Architecture, Tehran Central Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Received: 23/05/2015; Accepted: 30/06/2015 Abstract The process regarding the formation of different mosque gardens and the elements that contribute to the respective process is the from the foci point of this paper. The significance of the topic lies in the fact that certain scholars have associated the courtyard in mosques with the concept of garden, and have not taken into account the elements that contribute to the development of various types of mosque courtyards. The theoretical findings of the research indicate that the conditions and instructions regarding the Jemaah [collective] prayers on one hand and the notion of exterior performance of the worshiping rites as a recommended religious precept paired with the cultural, environmental and natural factors on the other hand have had their share of founding the courtyards. This study employs the historical analytical approach since the samples are not contemporary. The dependant variables are culture and climate while the form of courtyard in the jame [congregational] mosque is the dependent variable. The statistical population includes the jame mosques from all over the Islamic world and the samples are picked selectively from among the population. The findings have demonstrated that the presence of courtyard is in part due to the nature of the prayers that are recommended to say in an open air, and in part because this is also favoured by the weather in most instances and on most days.

Sani ABSTRACT Monumental architecture is reservoir of memories which can stand as symbol of the cities and even countries with the embedded meaning in their form and operation. This kind of structures can link the past and the future like the rings of a chain. In addition they have the potential to create and support the identity of a nation. The glory, dignity, culture, tradition and thoroughly the history of a nation can represent through the monumental structures. These structures can have variety of types including historical buildings or complexes, modern structures with advanced technology, landmarks, etc. Since during the last decades, identity crisis has been a major problem for contemporary architecture, the aim of this study is to survey the relation between national identity and monumental buildings and to recognize how monumental buildings contribute to create national identity.

  • Lives of the Ulemas Buried in the Holy City Of
    Ulema buried in the Holy City of Qom 2 (In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful) Foreword The Holy Prophet − said: "There are two groups of my Ummah that when they are pious, my Ummah will be upright, and when they are immoral, my Ummah will be corrupt." The Messenger of Allah − was asked who they were, and he answered: "The religious scholars and rulers."1 It is one of Allah’s countless bounties that there has never been a time that mankind has been without guidance. This guidance has appeared in many forms, including Prophets, Imams, and in their absence, the Ulemas and Marajas. ‘Ulema’ are defined as being Muslim scholars trained in Islam and Islamic law; in this day and age of the Ghayba (occultation) of the 12th Imam, Imam Mahdi Β, they are the main source of external guidance that people turn to for answers to questions, doubts, and simply as overall role- models. The Holy City of Qom, Iran, has been the epicentre of Islamic knowledge due to the presence and blessings of Bibi Ma’sooma ϑ, the sister of the 8th Imam, Imam Radha Β) Ulema of all backgrounds and all levels have been drawn to Bibi and this city, both benefiting from and contributing to the fountain of Islamic knowledge that flows here in the Hawzas (Islamic Seminaries) of Qom. A large number of prominent Ulema who migrated to Qom lived the remainder of their lives here, and are now buried in this Holy city; some in the blessed haram of Bibi Ma’sooma 1 Bihar-ul-Anwar, Vol 2, Pg.

It consists of several buildings and monuments built in the Qajar and Pahlavi eras. The complex traces its origin to a garden in Niavaran region, which was used as a summer residence by Fath-Ali Shah of the Qajar Dynasty. A pavilion was built in the garden by the order of Naser ed Din Shah of the same dynasty, which was originally referred to as Niavaran House, and was later renamed Saheb Qaranie House. The pavilion of Ahmad Shah Qajarwas built in the late Qajar period.During the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty, a modern built mansion named Niavaran House was built for the imperial family of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. All of the peripheral buildings of the Saheb Qaranie House, with the exception of the Ahmad Shahi Pavilion, were demolished, and the buildings and structures of the present-day complex were built to the north of the Saheb Qaranie House. In the Pahlavi period, the Ahmad Shahi Pavilion served as an exhibition area for the presents from world eaders to the Iranian monarchs.
