Abstract

As an independent and indigenous industry, the most prominent applied art of Iran and one of the top three handicraft poles in the world, Iran’s handicraft has been deeply rooted in the rich and fertile culture of Islamic Iran. This was an applied study performed by an exploratory and mixed (qualitative-quantitative) method. The statistical population included all individuals who visited the art centers of Tehran, Iran in 2019 and also people who educated in this field. Subjects were performed by multistage stratified sampling and convenience sampling using interviews. An 18-item questionnaire with cognitive, cultural and social dimensions was prepared based on data obtained from interviews and theoretical foundations. According to the results, the revival and promotion of handicraft use affected all three components of urban life relations. According to the regression analysis results, handicraft revival and promotion predicted 23%, 23%, and 19% of cognitive, cultural and social components of urban life relations, respectively.
