  • Study of Social-Spatial Exclusion and Identifying Its Factors Between Enqelab Street and College Crossroad in Tehran
    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC August 2016 Special Edition STUDY OF SOCIAL-SPATIAL EXCLUSION AND IDENTIFYING ITS FACTORS BETWEEN ENQELAB STREET AND COLLEGE CROSSROAD IN TEHRAN Mahnaz Alimohammadi MSc of urban development planning, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch Dr. Atusa Modiri Member of Scientific Board, Faculty of Arts and Architecture, Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch ABSTRACT Despite the fact that public spaces should be accessible for everyone, sometimes some of these spaces by the boundaries created by the owners or social groups, are only accessible for particular groups of society. Such boundaries in addition to reduction in the level of spaces’ communication, is a limiting factor in the entry and presence of different society classes in urban spaces; while increasing the presence and interaction of citizens with each other and interaction with space improves urban life. It can be said that most boundaries on public spaces with private and public ownership or symbolic ownership are all negative consequences of ownership and lead to social-spatial exclusion of other segments of society. This article aims to explain examples of social-spatial exclusion on Enqelab St. in Tehran. We used exploratory-qualitative approach in this research. By using survey and documents we collected data and finally analyzed the data through mapping, and provided a conclusion about influencing factors on social- spatial exclusion on the street, and thus

The present-day structural relationships and the kinematics of these two faults, especially at Received in revised form 14 August 2010 their junction in Lavasanat region, is still a matter of debate. In this paper, we present the results of a Accepted 12 September 2010 morphotectonic analysis (aerial photos and field investigations) within the central part of the Mosha and Available online 27 September 2010 eastern part of the North Tehran faults between the Mosha valley and Tehran City. Our investigations show that, generally, the traces of activity do not follow the older traces corresponding to previous long-term dip– Keywords: slip thrusting movements. The recent faulting mainly occurs on new traces trending E–W to ENE–WSW Iran Central Alborz affecting Quaternary features (streams, ridges, risers, and young glacial markers) and cutting straight through Mosha fault the topography. Often defining en-echelon patterns (right- and left-stepping), these new traces correspond to North Tehran fault steep faults with either north- or south-dipping directions, along which clear evidences for left-lateral strike– Active fault slip motion are found.

  • PROTESTS and REGIME SUPPRESSION in POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar
    THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY n OCTOBER 2020 n PN85 PROTESTS AND REGIME SUPPRESSION IN POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar Green Movement members tangle with Basij and police forces, 2009. he nationwide protests that engulfed Iran in late 2019 were ostensibly a response to a 50 percent gasoline price hike enacted by the administration of President Hassan Rouhani.1 But in little time, complaints Textended to a broader critique of the leadership. Moreover, beyond the specific reasons for the protests, they appeared to reveal a deeper reality about Iran, both before and since the 1979 emergence of the Islamic Republic: its character as an inherently “revolutionary country” and a “movement society.”2 Since its formation, the Islamic Republic has seen multiple cycles of protest and revolt, ranging from ethnic movements in the early 1980s to urban riots in the early 1990s, student unrest spanning 1999–2003, the Green Movement response to the 2009 election, and upheaval in December 2017–January 2018. The last of these instances, like the current round, began with a focus on economic dissatisfaction and then spread to broader issues. All these movements were put down by the regime with characteristic brutality. © 2020 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. SAEID GOLKAR In tracking and comparing protest dynamics and market deregulation, currency devaluation, and the regime responses since 1979, this study reveals that cutting of subsidies. These policies, however, spurred unrest has become more significant in scale, as well massive inflation, greater inequality, and a spate of as more secularized and violent.

Paseban and 2B.H. Kaboudvand 1Planning Research Institute, Agriculture Economy and Rural Development, Ministry of Jihad 2Rural Development Department, Tehran, Iran Abstract: The concept of sustainability has been considered as a framework for understanding the development process and environment resource management as well as delicate a balance between economy, environment and health sociality around the world in the recent decades. This research tries to determine the level of sustainability of Karaj rural development in order to identify and investigate the possibilities of Karaj County. For this purpose, 30 indicators of social, economic and environmental and structural-infrastructural are applied, using factor analysis and cluster analysis techniques for grading and evaluating the sustainability of the 82 villages were used in Karaj County. Thus, the 30 variables were reduced to 4 factors. According to the result of the principal component analysis with rotation, 65.32% of total variance among the 30 variables was explained by these 4 factors. Results indicate undesirable present condition in the studied region which Farokh Abad and Ghezel Hesar villages are sustainable, while Morad Abad and Ahmad Abad villages are unsustainable comparison with other settlements. Finally, the strategy policies are presented in different dimension in order to enhance and improve of the sustainability of Karaj County.

  • The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: a Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran
    The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Professor Muhammad Siddiq Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2013 Abstract The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Modern Persian literary histories generally characterize the decades leading up to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a single episode of accumulating political anxieties in Persian poetics, as in other areas of cultural production. According to the dominant literary-historical narrative, calls for “committed poetry” (she‘r-e mota‘ahhed) grew louder over the course of the radical 1970s, crescendoed with the monarch’s ouster, and then faded shortly thereafter as the consolidation of the Islamic Republic shattered any hopes among the once-influential Iranian Left for a secular, socio-economically equitable political order. Such a narrative has proven useful for locating general trends in poetic discourses of the last five decades, but it does not account for the complex and often divergent ways in which poets and critics have reconciled their political and aesthetic commitments. This dissertation begins with the historical assumption that in Iran a question of how poetry must serve society and vice versa did in fact acquire a heightened sense of urgency sometime during the ideologically-charged years surrounding the revolution.
