Abstract: (1259 Views)
In the past, the Iranian-Islamic neighborhood has been the main unit of social relations in cities and has played a unique role in people's lives with numerous positive social functions. However, recently, with the development of the Internet and cyberspace, people's social relationships have gone beyond local boundaries, and the dependence of social relationships on place has decreased. This issue, while changing the social relations of people, can cause difficulties in the realization, progress, and stability of the Iranian-Islamic neighborhood, which is dependent on its social relations and functions. Based on this, the current research aims to analyze the possibility of realizing the social functions of the neighborhood in the Internet era in order to better define, plan and design the spaces of the neighborhood. The method of the current research is qualitative, while analyzing the content of relevant documents, logical reasoning is used to organize information and analyze the issue. The analysis of the research has been conducted in three analytical sections: including the general analysis of the views and results of the studies of scholars and researchers, the analysis using Wellman's theory of network individualism, and the analysis referencing to the historical background and rethinking it. Based on the findings and results obtained, it seems that in the age of the Internet, it is hardly possible to realize the social functions of the Iranian-Islamic neighborhood, which goes beyond the superficial, formal and transitory social relations in local spaces. The most important factor in this matter is the change in living conditions and the strengthening of networked individualism in the age of the Internet, centered on the individual and the their desires, which is in serious conflict with the collectivism existing in traditional Iranian-Islamic neighborhoods and the social functions derived from it.
