The study of Roger's peasant Sub-culture (Case study: villages around Kahman region in Selseleh town)

This conducted research has engaged in investigating Roger’s peasant sub-culture along with the cultural elements which are mentioned by him as a barrier to development; until this is achieved via a comprehensive understanding of the social fabric of society. The study population is Kahman rural farmers, using and evaluating theoretical sampling of 40 farmers’ points of view, through which all the theoretical data are fully saturated. In this research, qualitative research techniques (e.g. in-depth interviews, intensive group-discussion and observation with participation) are exploited. Research findings portray that Roger’s peasant sub-culture elements proceeded, have not been consistent with the rural area Kahman; this is not only to keep the area developing but is provocative within some of them to the extent that specialized scholars have not drawn careful attention to the causes of the elements’ persistence, In the end, the author confirms the data according which These sub-cultures and native traditions are not necessarily in conflict together as a barrier, but as a refuge and as a rival for the development. Also just in case of clarification, the use of the term “local sub-culture”, which is (in this research elements) the rival and shelter of development, should be proposed to take over from Roger’s peasant sub-culture (development barrier). The current study can be considered as a research from a novel perspective in view of regions, traditions and especially sub-cultures with due to development, because the findings are referring to the progressing influence of local sub-culture on the case-study aimed village’s development.
