Investigating the Role of Non-native Immigrants in the Urban Development of Yasouj City (1342-1357 AH/ 1964-1979 AD)

]
The city of Yasouj, with a half-century of historical background, is an important example for studying quick social and urban developments in modern Iran, where local historiography approaches provide the opportunity to recognize the different dimensions of life and the changes in this city. Yasouj was a village of Tel-Khosrow, which was considered in 1342 as the government center of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province by the Pahlavi government after the uprising of the tribes in the south and the government offices were located there. The directors of these departments were all non-native, and the primary residents of the city were also itinerants who migrated from other cities to Yasouj. The arrival and emigration of these groups to Yasouj and their interactions with the tribal and nomadic communities around the region have begun a changing process in this region. This paper, by a descriptive-analytical method and based on library and documentary sources and oral interviews, examines the role of non-native immigrants in Yasouj's evolutions. In this article, after the introduction to the process and factors of the formation of the city of Yasouj, the occupational groups and their combination of urban institutions and their role in the development of the city have been addressed.
