Abstract :

The development of oil and gas industries in the Pars Special Economic Zone, Assaluyeh city will experience double exposure to industrial developments. The development of the oil and gas industry in these areas has provided the basis for the transition from a traditional society to an industrial and urban society, and in the process of transition, has left extensive changes in the cultural dimension. The main objective of this research is to design a model to evaluate the impact of oil-gas industry development on the dimensions of public culture in Assaluyeh zone. To measure and determine the importance and validity of each indicator, the proposed model was provided to experts. The proposed model with high validity (92/8) was approved by experts. In analyzing the data of this applied research, descriptive and inferential statistical methods have been used. The results showed that the mean of cultural values variable has a significant difference with the hypothetical or expected mean (Sig < 0.05).In other words, according to the statistical community, the development of the oil and gas industry has weakened cultural values. Also, the mean of family culture variable and material elements of culture have a significant difference with the hypothetical or expected mean (Sig < 0.05). As a result, due to the fusion of industry and tradition, a kind of cultural rupture and conflict was observed. The development of the oil and gas industry has caused extensive changes in cultural values, family culture and material elements in the Assaluyeh region.
