Abbas Jafari Editorial Spring, the Season of Renewal Hi Another Nowruz arrived and I am truly cheerful, the nature is moving toward freshness and renewal and everywhere is covered in green. Nowruz literally means «new day» and this renewal is what makes the ancient event of Nowruz meaningful. During all these years and as the ambassador of Nowruz, I have been travelling to many countries to introduce the ancient creed of Nowruz to the world. Now, I should confess that freshness of this renewal during historical ups and downs helped to survive and develop this historical celebration in different regions. Nowruz not only is the beginning of a fresh nature but also a reason of formation of the creeds whose bases are rooted in freshness and avoidance of darkness and badness, hence it can be said that the global creed of Nowruz has penetrated into different dimensions of lives of those people who celebrate it in their culture. It has been effective in all aspects of human life, from their personal renewal to life environment. By the freshness of nature, arrival of a new season and , renewal of our life environment, let s make our spirit fresh as well, make our heart happy and grow hope in our life. , Let s make significant changes in our personal attitudes by the renewal of the nature, travelling to different cities is a good solution to make these changes as the alterations in each season provide good opportunity to travel to the regions which we have not visited before and we can find new experiences which lead into our mental development. I wish you all a happy new year along with new changes, innovations and travels. On behalf of all my colleagues in Amu Nowruz travel agency, I would like to congratulate all the world and specially those who celebrate this ancient creed on the arrival of global day of Nowruz, 21st March.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND June 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Political developments in the Ardabil in the period of local governments (From the third century to the fifth century AH) Fatemeh Jafarniya Assistant professor in History, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran [email protected] Abstract Since the first half of the third century and beginning the recession of Abbasid Caliphate and the political weakness of the central government, different regions began to defect from their caliphate. The government from centralized system became decentralized system and independent and semi-independent governments were created around it. According to this, a number of governments were established in the state of Azarbaijan that the extent of the influence and power of some of them was spread to Ardabil. Sajids, Al-Mosafer (passenger) and Ravvadian were among local governments in the Azarbaijan area. According to historical sources the author attempts to explain political developments in Ardabil as one of the areas of Azarbaijan in the period of local governments. The result indicates that given the formation of multiple local governments in the third to fifth centuries, the scope of their influence was spread to Ardabil. Therefore, Ardabil and other cities at some point in the history of local governments, has been witnessed some events.

  • Persian Heritage: a Significant Role in Achieving Sustainable Development
    International Journal of Cultural Heritage E. Abedi, D. Kralj http://iaras.org/iaras/journals/ijch Persian heritage: A Significant Role in Achieving Sustainable Development ELAHEH ABEDI1, DAVORIN KRALJ2, A.M.Co., Tehran, IRAN1 ALMA MATER EUROPAEA, Slovenska 17, 2000 Maribor, SLOVENIA2, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: In every country, heritage plays a significant role in achieving sustainable development. Iran, a high plateau located at latitudes in the range of 25-40 in an arid zone in the northern hemisphere of the East, is a vast country with different climatic zones. In the past, traditional builders have presented several logical climatic solutions in order to enhance human comfort. In fact, this emphasis has been one of the most important and fundamental features of Iranian architecture. To a significant extent, Iranian architecture has been based on climate, geography, available materials, and cultural beliefs. Therefore, traditional Iranian builders had to devise various techniques to enhance architectural sustainability through the use of natural materials, and they had to do so in the absence of modern technologies. Paper describes the principals and methods of vernacular architectural designs in Iran with given examples which is predominately focused on some eclectic ancient cities in Iran as Kashan, Isfahan, and Yazd. Design and technological considerations of past, such as sustainable performance of natural materials, optimum usage of available materials, and the use of wind and solar power, were studied in order to provide effective eco architectural designs to provide the architectural criteria and insights. This study will be beneficial to today architects in the design of architectural structures to provide human comfort and a sustainable life in adverse climatic conditions.

  • Zazai Tribe’ Mean Anything About the Origin of Zaza People? (Zazai Aşireti Zazaların Kökeni Hakkında Bir Şeyler Söyleyebilir Mi?)
    Bingöl Üniversitesi Yaşayan Diller Enstitüsü Dergisi Yıl:1, Cilt:1, Sayı:1, Ocak 2015, ss. 115-123 Can ‘Zazai Tribe’ Mean Anything About The Origin Of Zaza People? (Zazai Aşireti Zazaların Kökeni Hakkında Bir Şeyler Söyleyebilir Mi?) Rasim BOZBUĞA1 Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to review bibliography and investigate relevant information about Zazai tribe and Zaza people in order to explore pos- sible connection between them. Findings about Zazas and Zazai Pastun tribe indicate that these two groups have strong connection which is more than ha- ving phonological similar names. Moreover, religious, cultural, historical re- semblances point out that these two groups share some mutual characteristics. Indeed, it is strongly possible that these two groups have originated from same ancestors or same areas (i.e. greater Khorasan or Northern Iran). Keywords : Zazas, Zaza People, The Origin Of The Zazas, Zazai Peshtun Tribe And Zaza Peshtun. Özet Zazai aşiretiyle Zaza halkı arasında ses benzerliği dışında ilişki bulunup bu- lunmadığı sorusunu cevaplamaya çalışan bu çalışmada Zazai aşiretiyle Zaza halkı arasında dilbilimsel, dinsel, kültürel ve yaşam biçimi açısından dikkat çekici benzerliklerin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Zazaca’nın en yakın olduğu dillerden biri olan Partça bazı kelimelerin hem Zazaca’da hem Peştunca’da bulunması, Peştun aşiretlerinden sadece Zazai aşiretiyle soy birliği olan Turi aşiretinin Şii olması, Zazai Attan dansıyla Alevi semahlarının benzer figürleri 1 Gazi Üniversitesi Siyaset Bilimi Doktora Öğrencisi Yıl/Year:1, Cilt/Volume:1, Sayı/Issue:1, Ocak 2015 116 Rasim BOZBUĞA içermesi, Zazai aşiretinin yaşadığı bölgelerin Zazaların yaşadığı coğrafya gibi dağlık alanlar olması, Zazai aşiretinin ataları arasında Zaza-Goran gruplar ara- sında bulunan Kakai adında atanın olması, Zazai aşiretinin içinde bulundugu Karlan grubunun sonradan Peştunlaştığına ilişkin rivayetler Zazai aşiretiyle Zaza/Goran halkının ortak bir coğrafya yada ortak bir soydan gelmiş olabilece- ği varsayımını güçlendirmektedir.

Ali Mojabi Department of Textile and Apparel Design, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad, Iran Most researchers and scholars inside Iran consider Qajar dynasty art (1789–1925) in line with the Safavid (1501–1736) and Zand (1750–1794) dynasties. Assuming the Safavid period as the starting point in the Farangi Sazi tradition (a term used for some art schools in Iran which are influenced by European art), and assuming the art in the Afsharid (1736– 1796) and Zand dynasties as more impressionable disciples of the tradition, then it can be asserted that Qajar dynasty art pursued the same tradition with minor changes and varia- tions through the offspring and grandchildren of those same artists.
