Abstract

the current research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the contexts and consequences of the destruction of Sabat Obeid Zakani. The approach of this research is qualitative and the research method is based on the Strauss and Corbin model. The data collection tool is a semi-structured interview. The statistical population included experts in the field of cultural heritage, restorers, university professors and several neighbors of Sabat Obaid Zakani. The sampling method in this research is non-random and purposeful. The sample size has been determined and finalized as 18 people based on the rule of saturation. The results of the analysis indicate that causal conditions (decline of social capital, organizational dysfunction, organizational anomie and organizational corruption), background conditions (inefficiency of official control, cultural poverty and lack of belonging), intervening conditions (weakness of institutional management and consumerism) ), the central phenomenon (historical vandalism), consequences (reduction of social security, cultural disorganization, and behavioral security crisis) and strategies (stable historical identity, false modernism, instrumental social support, cultural management, and sustainable local development) reflect the paradigmatic model of historical vandalism.
