 the goal of this research is to determine the role of Tehran municipality in promoting cultural dimension of Islamic lifestyle.

In cultural dimension, two components of ethics and leisure are raised. In this study, 4 indicators for ethics and 6 indicators for leisure were determined. A 16-item questionnaire was developed which included two parts of the ideal situation and the status quo.

The study findings show that the highest and the lowest mean among the indicators of ethics belong to “increased awareness of people in dealing with superstition” and “increased tendency of young people to marriage”, respectively. In addition, among the indicators of leisure, “strengthening the programs of cultural centers” and “introduction of natural and historical attractions” obtained the highest and the lowest mean, respectively.
