Abstract

Political and social factors of the Qajar period such as Security, some responsibilities that traditionally are on Rulers, Iran’s semi-colonial condition, and its historical context for transforming the historical traditions to Modernity have affected rural landscapes in different ways. Therefore, the main question of this research is how some factors such as security, ruler’s attempts about rural development, Iran’s situation in global markets, and some attempts for modernizing the agriculture affected on rural landscapes? So understanding the quality of the effect of these factors is the goal of this investigation. To achieve this goal, historical analysis is chosen as a methodology and this study is concentrated on the concept of the rural landscape. Results shows, the effects of the absence of the security were observable in destroyed and abandoned villages, the Architectural form of the villages and avoidance villagers from agriculture. Rulers had some activities in rural development that effected rural landscapes slightly. Iran’s situation in the global market as a producer of Agricultural raw materials changed the nature of Iranian agriculture from subsistence to commercial and finally some attempt of Iranian for transformation of traditional interaction with environment failed.
