The Role of Culture of Islamic Sects in the Social Cohesion of Historical Neighborhoods- Case Study: Sartpuleh Neighborhood of Sanandaj

Abstract

Islamic culture is one of the fundamental human issues that the comprehensiveness of the Holy Quran and authentic narrations are expected to have a proper answer to it. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the aspects of the effects of Islamic culture on the social relations of the residents of the Sartapuleh neighborhood and to investigate the effect of physical elements with different functions, especially religious buildings, on the type of socialization of residents. Due to the decrease in the social importance of neighborhoods over time, this study aims to achieve a model to improve the social qualities of neighborhoods with cohesive elements. Therefore, from the content analysis method based on theoretical principles in social cohesion in accordance with the Holy Quran, the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), and Nahj al-Balaghah, three components of good social cohesion or social cohesion including virtue, dignity, and participation were obtained. While preparing a questionnaire according to the examples of the above components, according to Cochran's formula, 100 residents and neighborhood businesses were selected as a sample, and the results showed that the components of dignity have a score of 3.44, virtue 3.36, and participation0.66. According to the standard analysis of the Likert Five-Scale Questionnaire, virtue and dignity are in the range of 2 to 3.5, ineffective, and the component of participation is in the opposite range. Finally, social cohesion is in relatively good condition, and suggestions are made to strengthen it.
