Abstract
With his hijrah to Iran, Imam Reza (as) has granted such spirituality to different parts of his moving path that nowadays it is a spiritual heritage for his followers. The spiritual path of the Imam’s hijrah equipped with huge capacities for various pilgrimages, with social and cultural aspects can be upgraded to a path for religious tourists and his pilgrims. This research aims to present strategies for reviving and promoting this spiritual and pilgrimage path through an analytical and historical method with a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach, using library resources, documentaries, and field study. The results of the research show that the spiritual path is recognizable from urban design and architecture perspectives as well as related specialties in multiple dimensions and components, namely, spatial-physical, social, cultural, economic, landscape, time, context, morphology, perception, function, and ecosystem. Passing through four diverse natural, cultural, and social regions of Iran (southwestern region, mountainous regions of Yasuj and Fars, central desert region, and northeastern region rich in terms of valuable natural, environmental, historical, cultural, social, and physical backgrounds), this path belongs to the periods before and after Imam Reza’s journey. The Razavi cultural-tourism path is supported by tourism, transportation, religious, and recreational infrastructures; it serves as a ceremonial, cultural, tourism, and religious path on the national and international scales. Urban and regional conceptual designs will lead to the comprehensive quantitative and qualitative development of this path with an Iranian-Islamic approach.
