Settlement of Nomads and Its Consequences in Lak-Inhabited Regions

This is a research study examining the settlement process of nomadic tribes in Lur-inhabited regions. Using a descriptive and analytical approach with document review and interviews, the research found that during the Qajar period, Lurs practiced nomadic pastoralism within a tribal system, moving seasonally between winter and summer pastures in the central Zagros mountains and surrounding plains, while exercising significant social and political influence. Under Reza Shah, various reforms including agricultural development, industrial expansion, and road construction began to reshape these communities.
