And became involved in today's life? This research has been carried out with pathological approach, and descriptive analytical method and data collection in a library and field method. The samples were purposefully selected based on the snowball method and included 11 people. By examining the information obtained based on the analysis of the interviews, the key points were identified and the data were coded, and the codes with common axes became a set of concepts. Then, through dividing the concepts, the categories are extracted, and ultimately interpret the categories and provide solutions. Based on data, art basket in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad province in the past was commonly proportional to the conditions of nomadic and rural life, and woven baskets were used in abundance. Over time and the prevalence of urbanization culture and the introduction of technology and replacing applied appliances of plastic and metal, decrease use of handmade tools and made from natural materials in the lives of villagers. Many of those devices are no longer used today. And these baskets have fallen into disrepair, so much so that some of them are obsolete.

Finally, with the review of three categories of education, economics and application, useful strategies for re-boom this art are expressed. Some of these solutions are: Holding face-to-face and virtual classes in basket weaving training in relevant and supported organizations, allocating textbooks in each region to introduce and teach traditional indigenous arts of the region, as well as the private sector to use the capabilities and talents related to this art in the province, use advertising programs and Active participation of the province's radio and television in informing and widely promoting the traditional and indigenous arts of the province, especially the art of basket weaving, and Finally, pay attention to the application in a way that is useful for the use of all sections in today's society.
