Transition stages from a traditional city to an industrial city (Social and cultural environment of Tehran)<br />
Journal Title: International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology - Year 2005, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Some of Iran’s cities, especially Tehran that is the capital city of Iran, have faced sudden changes of industrialization due to political, economic, and ecological considerations. There is no doubt that it is not possible to conduct a thorough investigation of the cultural structures of these cities by theoretical models, and they shall be evaluated in comparative and combinational terms. Because of the consideration mentioned above, different ethnicities and groups from different cultural backgrounds have been attracted to these cities, and subcultures are highly influential in socialization, acculturation, solidarity, and integration of the individuals in the society. Although one of the problems of the industrial cities all over the world, including Tehran, is migration (from towns and villages), inflexible solutions and approaches to the migration problem are not logical. In addition, recourse to the weakness of the villages and attractions of the capital can not solve the problem (as shown by the author's experience). Therefore, it seems that creating occupational opportunities in villages and towns is one of the practical and useful ways for the survival of small towns and reduction of the migration to big cities, including Tehran.
