Abstract

Khamseh province with central Zanjan was important in the Qajar era, and prominent rulers were often sent to the area. Early in the Qajar period, Prince Abdullah Dara left a relatively acceptable carnage with the construction of new buildings. In the era of Nasseri and Mozaffari, the respectively of Ehtesham al-Saltaneh and VazirHomayun, reached the rule of Zanjan, which, according to documents, newspapers and memoirs, was noticed and admired by most of the region's rulers. So by examining and adapting the performance and obstacles of the rulers in question, we will ask what was the approach of the Ehtesham al- Saltaneh and VazirHomayun against the indicators mentioned above? And what happened to? Due to the tyranny of the Nasseri era, it seems that the effort of Ehtesham al-saltaneh was in close proximity to traditional groups, changing urban fabric and prosperity of local industries, In contrast, the VazirHomyun, while being close to modernist groups, created new educational institutions to repel and control the cereal crisis. The actions of the VazirHomyun, with the power of traditional groups, were relatively successful and were destroyed by the culture of newspaper and reading; But the efforts of the Ehtesham al-Saltaneh in the creation of urban spaces and the prosperity of the local industries have remained to this day. The present article deals with the collection of library, documents and the use of original sources such as the newspaper, in a descriptive-analytical way.
