Abstract

Religious institutions are a group of social institutions that aim to meet the religious needs of society. A religious institution that has an active presence in Islamic societies is the mosque. Mosque, as the main building in Islamic cities, serves two main purposes. Religious purpose: it means the worship of God collectively and social purpose: it means creating unity within the community and reinforcement of social relations. The purpose of this study is to identify the role that Religious institutions, especially mosques, can play in the development of local communities. Research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach. In the theoretical framework and literature of the subject, the documentary method has been used and the research findings have been collected using the field method and preparing a questionnaire. The statistical population of the present study includes the residents of Sheshgelan neighborhood in District 10 of Tabriz Municipality. Shashgelan is one of the few neighborhoods that has 6 active mosques, and the service area of some of these mosques includes the whole city of Tabriz. Existence of a network of effective communication between the residents of the neighborhood with a sense of sharing interests has turned Sheshgelan into a developing neighborhood community. But what has been neglected in the meantime is the role that the related mosques can play in the development of the local community. The Cochran's formula has been used to obtain the sample size. Based on this and according to the statistical population, the sample size includes 150 people and the unit of analysis in this study is individual. The research hypothesis is based on the fact that there is a significant relationship between Religious institutions and the development of local communities. Kendall coefficient and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to determine this relationship. Results of the research show that the value of the Kendall coefficient among all components of local community development and Religious institutions is above 60% and the Spearman correlation coefficient exceeds 65%, which indicates a positive and significant relationship between components of local community development and its religious institution. Findings show that daily interaction in the mosques of Sheshgelan neighborhood leads to the formation of a sense of trust that is effective in restoring trust and continuity of interaction. The neighborhood mosque is a place of gathering and a basis for unity and solidarity of different strata of the neighborhood residents. The neighborhood mosque can even be considered as a council mosque and a representative of the Muslim community in the neighborhood, and this social unit with principled planning can have a tremendous impact on advancing the neighborhood development and solving its problems. Also, the mosque plays a great role in creating harmony and empathy and creating social interactions among the residents of the neighborhoods, to provide a work space and interaction at the neighborhood level.
