Abstract :

                                                                                                          Today, there are needed to use various methods for resuscitation and promotion of rich and unique Iranian-Islamic culture. On the other hand, the use of new technologies is growing in Iran. Growing new technologies and the need for promotion of unique Iranian-Islamic culture make the study of the relationship between culture and technology essential for the preserving and promoting the culture. Using Culture Technology (CT), which is given more attention nowadays and is about to study the interaction of culture and technology, plays an important role in this regard. The purpose of this paper is to study the role of CT in the Culture-Based government and society by focusing on ubiquitous computing technologies. To this end, fist ubiquitous computing technologies and CT are addressed. Second, based on the CT thinking, the culturally enabled government and society are defined, and government organizations that play a more role in the field of CT are identified. Third, the role of CT in Culture-Based government and society is discussed by providing several CT projects. Finally, SWOT analysis is done to determine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of culturally enabled society in Iran. The paper shows that the Iranian government with considering CT thinking can work not only in the preserving and promoting the culture but also in improving technology in the society and towards the electronic community.
