Abstract
Abstract:This study is an invitation to concentrate on the social and cultural dimensions of Golestan quarter for an understanding of the situation, and to take advantage of that to organize and solve the problems of the neighbourhood in the urban fabric of Sabzevar. This is a narrative research conducted with the participation of six inhabitants of the Golestan quarter in Sabzevar. The results show that given the gap which exists between the inhabitants of Golestan quarter and other people in the city, the concept of social identity is one of the most important components which should be investigated in order to understand the Golestan people. In this regard, from the past to the present, identification procedures of Golestan inhabitants can be classified in terms of pre-modern and modern processes. Today, Golestanis are in transition mode towards obtaining a modern identity. Understanding the nature, objectives, and strategies of these processes seem necessary for any planning for this neighbourhood.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1888, the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society was published in four series up to 1982. In 2000, the journal became Romani Studies. On behalf of the Gypsy Lore Society, Romani Studies features articles on many different communities which, regardless of their origins and self-appellations in various languages, have been referred to in English as Gypsies. These communities include the descendants of migrants from the Indian subcontinent which have been considered as falling into three large subdivisions, Dom, Lom, and Rom. The field has also included communities of other origins which practice, or in the past have practiced, a specific type of service nomadism. The journal publishes articles in history, anthropology, ethnography, sociology, linguistics, art, literature, folklore and music, as well as reviews of books and audiovisual materials.
