Abstract
In this research, we seek to study the social, cultural, economic, and social trends of the Torkashvand tribe in the contemporary history of Iran. The method of research is ethnographic and the study population is Torkashvand tribe. Data collection techniques in this research are based on interview, observation, map and diagram and data are analyzed based on three stages: data division and organization, interpretation and reporting. The findings show that: 1. Torkashvand consisted of 6 tribes (Rahmat, Suleiman, Gorgeh, Merashu, Melijan, Mirazi) and the nomadic territory of this tribe from the north is to Alvand mountains of Hamedan, from the east to Boroujerd and Khorramabad from the west to Qasr Shirin, Gilangharb and Ilam and from the south to Dasht Abbas and Khuzestan. 3. Government bankrupts the tribes by the land reform program and importing frozen meat and live cattle from other countries bankrupts. In addition. The need for simple labor due to the development of factories, assemblies and assembly industries along with urban attractions provided the settlement of a part of Torkashvand tribe in Kangavar city. 2. The settlement of nomads during the Reza Shah period, a number of tribes were forced to settle for two years in areas such as Hamedan, Kangavar, Sahneh and Mahidasht, after a while, and especially with the fall of the first Pahlavi, they returned to Nomadism. 4. After 1957, the government, by controlling imports, led to a resurgence of animal husbandry and the continuation of nomadism among some members of the tribe. The stabilization of urban life and its increasing attractiveness, the monogamy of the Turkashvand tribe also continued.
