Treatment of contemporary Centralized governments with nomads is not based on the developmental perspective but mainly on political one.The changes in tribal community of Iran within the recent decades caused settlement and permutation of these communities, cultural changes; cultural transposition, cultural conflicts and the elimination of subcultures by settled nomads are sensible and obvious. Issues such as abandonment of ancient culture,for getting of cultural traditions and cultural effects, and replacing of the culture of sedentary people are among main effect of settlement of nomads. This paper aims to examine the cultural reflections of settled Nomads in Kohgilouyeh and Boyerahmad Province and variations of these nomads before and after the settlement in Pakūh, Mansūrābād and Kalāghneshīn in Kohgilouyeh and Boyerahmad Province. The method of research applied in this study is based on the descriptive-analytical methods that examine the dimensions of language and literature, art, media, religion and customs and tribal and kinship system. Statistical society shows that Nomads settled down in three villages of Kalāghneshīn, Pakūh, Mansūrābād. Sample society includes 80 households.Based on the findings of this study, the settled Nomads have changed their values and cultural beliefs and of the inhabitants of the said places.Despite therelative improvement in access and the use ofcultural factors - especially the media -many of the past values, beliefs and cultural aspects have been abandoned and replaced due to sedentary living, with urban and rural cultures. Nomads who settle down near the villages or urban centers, have access to more cultural services and in result their own culture is forgotten and replaced by new ones, these cultural changes are prominent among these nomads. Considering the fact that these cultural, traditional and beliefs change among nomad’s communities, it is necessary to pay special attention to these communities in order to maintain and strengthen of cultures and subcultures and revival of traditional culture in these areas.
