The purpose of this research was to explain the concept of the privacy of women, based on Islamic teachings, and the implementation of the confidentiality of attributes in Aleyasin the traditional House, based on Islamic teachings. Women have specific characteristics and needs, due to their specific nature. Paying attention to the woman is very important in relation to the formation of architectural spaces. Islamic teachings have a special emphasis on the principle of privacy and compliance at home. The objective manifestation of this subject is exploratory and studying in house architecture, with the definition of traditional houses. The traditional Iranian architects have considered the confidentiality, in the construction of buildings, especially houses, as a fundamental principle. Therefore, the question was raised as to how the verses and Islamic narratives emphasize the creation of the principle of privacy for women at home, and how was the principle of confidentiality and its application to the verses and Islamic traditions in the home? To answer this question, the present study focused on the Aleyasin House in Kashan, as an important case in Kashan. The research method was a descriptive-analytic, in such a way that, by examining the verses and narrations, and applying them to the confidentiality of the examples, in the architecture of Aleyasin house, we could say that the principle of confidentiality manifested itself in the building therefore, it is visual, and it has been created through hierarchy and introversion. These principles correspond to the verses of the Quran and Islamic narrations. In the past, architects have been advocating for confidentiality in the building, not only for women, but also for homeowners using these strategies. Manuscript profile

The purpose of this research was to compare the romantic relationships from the viewpoints of Nezami Ganjavi and Sohrab Sepehri, who belonged to the two different literary and historical periods of Iran country. The two poets had different attitudes toward romance in terms of sociology, psychology and literature. The epistemic differences between the two poets had influenced their point of view toward moral and romantic relationships and shaped the recognition and definition of "woman". The applied method was a comparative and descriptive one, and was based on the works of the two poets concerned to romantic relationships. The findings showed that Nezami Ganjavi, according to personal and experiences of his own life, and social, economic and political conditions, reached a particular attitude toward woman and her relations as a personal style, and in other hand, Sohrab Sepehri regarding all components of  modern life and his personal experiences had presented a unique viewpoint on romantic relationships. Eventually, the research concluded that the romantic relationships in Nezami’s lyrics stories has been often carnal and terrestrial so that the poet with a powerful tool in describing dramatic and imaginative, would take the readers to the feast, pleasure and jollity, while the ”love” in Sepehri’s poems had been limited to spiritual and mental aspects and we are facing an ethereal beloved in poet’s soul and worlds.

For this purpose by applying a quality method all the documents, acts and the main texts of the tree cultural policy makers in the field of women's dressing, the Supreme Revolutionary Cultural Council, Parliament and Presidential Administration Women's Affairs and Family Deputy were gathered and analyzed. Most of the policies developed after the Revolution by the relevant organizations faced limited success and despite all of the state capacities of reward and punishment for the realization of these policies that were imposed  were  not effectively enough successful. Factors such as the lack of a comprehensive definition of dress and veil in legislation outputs, the different notions about the type of dressing in the society, ambiguity in acts, personalization of the implemented policies in the field of women's clothing, structural incoordination, limited attention to cultural policies and lack of coordination of policies and regulatory approvals to the society  conditions and lack of good governance, justice factors were some of the reasons for not being enough success of the policy in the field of women's clothing.
