Abstract

Objectives: The present paper attempts at examining the relationships which exist between the article’s main concepts namely folklore, cultural capital and tourism. However, cultural capital originally was coined by French sociologist Pierre Bordure to include non economic factors; education in particular that may be responsible for poverty and other negative characteristics of the poor, the concept later on was expanded to cover attitudes, characters, and customs. As a result folklore of a society may also be regarded as a form of cultural capital.The article then deals with the importance of tourism especially due to globalization experienced by all cultures around the world. Today tourism is regarded as the most important source of national income. Both income and occupation multipliers embedded in tourism will serve as positive factors facilitating development. Finally the article Reviews however briefly the Iran’s case as a society that is very rich in various forms of tourism’s attractions which makes her desirable as a tourism destinati.Method: The article is based on literature reviw. As result it may be regarded as an analytical and descriptive research, aiming to enhance the existing familiarity with tourism and a number of other important concepts. Results: In Iran, tourism industry is a neglected domain. Thus the most important objective of tourism industry is to emphasize the importance of such a domain as far as development is concerned. The other important objective is to enhance the general public’s knowledge concerning the role of tourism as far as income and job creation are involved.Despite the fact that the article is based on a review of literature a number of findings may be mentioned. First, tourism industry at the time of economic globalization and the coming of automated industries that create very limited number ofjobs, may act as the most reliable source ofjob creation. Second, tourism when carefully and consciously planned is a nature friendly approach he purpose of this study was to establish if there was an association between social factors in macro level and illicit drug use in MAZANDARAN PROVINCE. Five of the hypotheses proved statistically significant, they include: effect of smuggler’s activity rate on drug ADDICTION rate, effect of AVAILABILITY OF DRUGS on drug ADDICTION rate, effects of urbanity and AVAILABILITY OF DRUGS on social disorganization, and the effect of smuggler’s activity rate on AVAILABILITY OF DRUGS. The two hypotheses that were not statistically significant are the effect of the urbanity and social disorganization on drug ADDICTION rate. Path analysis results indicate that AVAILABILITY OF DRUGS, smuggler’s activity, urbanism and social disorganization variables are the most important variables for explanation of drug related crimes in MAZANDARAN PROVINCE, respectively. Several implications can be derived from this study; one of such public implications is the modification of preventive programs designed to reduce illicit drug use.
