This study also shows how one can find the traces of a nation's old and mythological beliefs in its folk literature. The present article briefly concludes that in Hormozgan's folk tales, the "human - tree" & "tree - human" as an ancient belief is of very high frequency in comparison to other transformations, and it usually appears in two forms: 1- the transformation of tree- man and the transformation of "tree- woman". These transformations are sometimes the result of passion, anger, the death of an innocent,and they are sometimes used to deceive the others to achieve the goals and objectives.}, Keywords = {Hormozgan's folktales, Myth, Transformation, Tree.}, volume = {4}, Number = {8}, pages = {6-23}, publisher = { ministry of culture and islamicguidance of hormozga}, url = {http://rdch.ir/article-1-27-en.html}, eprint = {http://rdch.ir/article-1-27-en.pdf}, journal = {Cultural Journal of Hormozgan}, issn = {24767328}, eissn = {}, year = {2014} } @article{ author = {MirzaNiknam, Hossei}, title = {Special Verbs in Bandar Khamiri Dialect}, abstract ={The words of any language or dialect - as the material of the language - indicate the culture, the beliefs, and the lifestyle of the people who speak that language.

Ethnic thoughts and beliefs are the cultural memorials, which root in the life style of the people of a region and their ancienthistory.

As one cannot ignore other modern evolutions because of their negative effects, we should try to control their negative consequences through some preparations and to benefit from their positive effects. The same approach should be taken in case of tourism to identify its positive and negative effects. One of the most important social effects of ecotourism is its influence on the social relations and the relation patterns among people in the host society, which has unfortunately been ignored in the research on the social effects of ecotourism. Therefore, thepresent paper intends to investigate the effect of ecotourism on the social relations of ecotourism sector practitioners in Tabl village.

The networks were delineated and analyzed using Visone and Net Draw softwares and based on the cutpoints, the out degree centrality, and the centrality of the special vector. The results revealed that the practitioners of ecotourism sector in Tabl village, whoare in relation with the tourists andthere is a possibility for them to disconnect their relations with their community under the effect of other cultures, have conserved their relations with their community so that they trust their families in the highest order and their friends and the local trustworthy people were located in the next order.

In this paper we examine the mythological elements in Khajouye Kermani’s poems especially the mythological gods to whom he implores, and then compare them to other nation’s myths. Generally, in Khajou’s implorings, the general myth is manifested in the three ways: Elements which are categorized as mythological deities and are directly worshiped.
