Abstract:
Utopia is a long-standing concept and a twin of human thought; Because man has often sought a very orderly and good life. Therefore, having a well-organized society has shone in the conscious and unconscious minds of most human beings. Consequently, these ideals and ideas have played an effective role in constructing concepts such as the concept of the city. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the dialectical relationship between the "concept of utopia" and the "concept of the Sassanid city". Therefore, this study seeks to answer the question that what effect did the concept of utopia and its physical manifestations have on the formation of the concept of city in the Sassanid period? To answer this question, the sociological model of knowledge and the descriptive-analytical method have been used and to collect information from library sources. The findings showed that the Sassanid city is one of the concepts of "physical structure of the city", "ruling order in society", "order in the social hierarchy" and "protection of the city against enemies", which is associated with the idea of utopia. Impressed.
Machine summary:
Social History Research, Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies Biannual Scientific Journal (Scientific-Promotional Article), Vol. 11, No. 2, Autumn and Winter 2021, 85 - 111 The Influence of Utopia on the Formation of the Concept of City in the Sasanian Era Jalil Dara * Elaheh Sadeghi ** Abstract Utopianism is an ancient concept and a twin of human thought; because humans have mostly been in pursuit of an extremely organized and good existence.
The conclusion is that humans, with goals such as "creating order in society," "protecting social hierarchies," and "tending towards perfection and reducing enmities," have been driven toward utopian thought and have directly utilized the concepts mentioned in utopia and subsequently used these concepts for the formation of the Sasanian city.
Therefore, sometimes this word has been a conception of an imaginary land where people's lives were complete and accompanied by righteousness; an unattainable place whose image on the horizon of human desire has always been the ultimate example of goodness, beauty, and success, and sometimes utopia has been the force for changing history and the effort to transform existing social roles (Mannheim, 1936: 106).
In In fact, the Sassanid state was under the influence of utopian concepts in ancient Iranian thought, especially the Zoroastrian utopia, and has been influenced by concepts such as "order", "social hierarchies", "defensive issues including the protection of the city from the harm of enemies", and "the body of urban planning" from the utopia.
