Abstract

Security is a category that included the military and militarism until the Qajar era, but with the social changes that began in this period, it gradually opened up a new concept in people's lives. In such a way that every factor and component that affects the peace of individual and social life creates the concept of feeling of security or insecurity in individual and public thoughts. Therefore, after this, the factors involved and effective on security or insecurity, in addition to military tools and the power of militarism, events and incidents caused by political, economic, social and cultural factors were also included. Culture includes spiritual and psychological aspects related to manners, In the discussion of the relationship between cultural components and the feeling of security, the factors that are related to the beliefs, culture and customs of the people in this period and were somehow effective in the issue of the feeling of security are investigated. The investigation of this issue in this article has been done by analyzing the incidents and describing the incidents, with the approach of qualitative content analysis. The cited sources were first-hand sources or taken from them, which had a descriptive-analytical approach to the events and incidents of the Qajar era. It is the result of explaining the effect of cultural components on the feeling of security of the people of this age. So that in many cases this effect increased the feeling of security and in some cases it increased the feeling of insecurity.
