Abstract :

Studying the location and spatial works and products, as a part of human behavior, proves to be very useful in the semiotic studies, since such human-made works are rich in information and meanings which are all the key topics of semiotics. Whereas, the perspectives are considered to be as human products, they can reveal the meanings as targeted by the creator of the very work or the human. Hence, semiotics of cultural perspectives is considered to be one of the ways and means of understanding meaning in human living environment. In this way, cultural perspectives are reviewed as the text and context. For discovering such contexts or texts through cultural perspectives, their similes and meanings can be employed. This paper, through documents and library method, focuses on the semiotics in studying perspectives in cultural geography. Although in contemporary era, semiotics have found way mainly into different disciplines of the humanities, few such studies have worked on cultural geography studies.
