Abstract

Holding different custom and rituals in every society strengthens the social ties of that society.Meanwhile, in Shi’a culture, Muharram mourning ceremonies have been valued semantically and create the basis for a set of rituals which gradually found diverse social functions and became part of popular culture. During Qajar period, unlike the previous periods, due to the role of religion and religious ceremonies in the social life of this period, special places were crated for holding these ceremonies, most important of which were ASHURA RITUALS. In NAIN, the space system of HUSSEINIEH SQUARE (consisting of bodied squares and the physical form of Husseinieh) was influenced by these traditions during the Qajar period. The present study, as a case study seeks to explain how ceremonies and rituals interact especially Muharram and Safar mourning ceremonies as an identity and cultural factor of the city of NAIN. Results of the questionnaires along with theoretical analysis, showed that in the interaction between the ASHURA RITUALS and the city of NAIN in terms of physical characteristics, they created certain elements and spaces in the Qajar period in NAIN (Heptad HUSSEINIEH SQUAREs) which are considered as the most important spatial and ritual elements which formed URBAN SPACE and central neighborhoods and also considered as an important factor in the structure of the spatial system and its physical integrity. Also, mourning ceremonies have influenced the spaces associated with it due to their accordance with the beliefs of city’s resident and was effective in the identifying the spaces and their sense of belonging. Performing these rituals is carried out in all aspects with the role and participation of people, and as a result of the experience of this group work in working together, provides the basis for creating social consistency and local integrity in the course of holding such ceremonies.
