چکیده:
The Kalantar, Darugha, and Kodkhoda were considered among the main managers of the cities of Isfahan and, alongside other officials such as the Naqib and Muhtasib, were responsible for the administrative and financial affairs of the cities. The powers of the Kalantar were mostly limited to the internal issues and affairs of the city; he worked under the supervision of the governor and was a defender of the people's rights against the governor. The Kodkhodas of the neighborhoods and the elders appointed the Kalantar for the guilds. The Kalantar had a deputy, which was called the Naqib or Naqib al-Ashraf. The Darugha was responsible for guarding the city and its outskirts. Collecting taxes from guilds and appointing guild leaders were the most important duties of the Kodkhoda. The Muhtasib also operated in the field of market affairs and 'enjoining good and forbidding evil'. The main issue of this research is to investigate the function and duties of these officeholders and their interaction within the administrative system of the city of Isfahan.

Investigation of the Administrative Officials of the City of Isfahan during the Safavid Era Marzieh Dari Abstract The Kalantar, Darugha, and Kodkhoda were considered among the main managers of the cities of Isfahan and, alongside other officials such as the Naqib and Muhtasib, were responsible for the administrative and financial affairs of the cities.
Safavid, city, Kalantar, Darugha, Naqib, Kodkhoda, Muhtasib Introduction The Safavid era is considered one of the important and influential periods in our country's history, as extensive changes occurred in the religious, social, and economic structures of the country, which had lasting effects and consequences.
During this period, officials such as the Kalantar, Darugha, Naqib, Kodkhoda, and Muhtasib played a primary role in managing city affairs and were considered the financial and administrative managers of the cities.
In such a way that the inhabitants of each neighborhood, each guild, and each village, whoever they deem trustworthy and reliable, appoint among themselves and with their consent, write their name and assign duties to them, and having it sealed by a valid Naqib, bring it to the presence of the Kalantar, and receive a ta'liqah and a khil'at from Masharaliyah on their behalf; after that, he becomes aware of their important affairs, and in the first quarter of each year, the Kalantar and the Naqib appoint someone who gathers all the guilds and takes them to the Naqib of Dar al-Saltanah Isfahan, and they determine the buncheh for each person.
Chardin writes regarding the duties of the Darugha: "The Shah appoints a Darugha or a head of police for the rulers in all cities and important places of the province; he organizes police affairs and special agents, holds the title of Beg or Lord, and supervises the Cherik" (Chardin, 1345: 189/8).
