Abstract
Scattered writings in the Qajar period are indicative of Damavand’s prosperity and favorable conditions in that era. Selection of Tehran as the capital made a great impact on the economic and social development of Damavand. Damavand had its own social and economic capabilities due to its natural status, geographical and climatic state and the capitalization of Tehran highlighted all those capacities. By investigating into the social and economic situation of Damavand in one part of the Qajar era, this study aims at identification of potentials and capabilities of Damavand and assessment of their effect on the development and progress of Damavand in that period of time. The significant factors that paved the way of the development of Damavand are discussed in this study in five areas including climatic conditions, economic factors, geographical location, political and administrative status, and cultural conditions.
