Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of socially discourse-oriented relationships on the development and improvement of ethics and urban culture. The research methodology combines descriptive and applied analytical approaches. The findings revealed that citizenship and civic culture are the result of multifaceted commitments. Citizens are dynamic and mobile components of society, actively participating in various societal spheres. Achieving this requires a dual movement: one from top to bottom in the form of empowerment and engagement within macrostructures, and the other from bottom to top, reflecting the active social participation of citizens, particularly in the public sphere. The religious, cultural, and civilizational values of Islamic Iran encompass teachings that embody civil and collective virtues and ethics. The fundamental philosophy of these teachings is the belief that behavioral changes must begin with individual awareness and attitudes. Considering the impact of religious beliefs on adherence to civil culture, these values offer a suitable foundation for citizens to acquire necessary skills for participation in political, social, cultural, economic, and religious arenas. Religion, as one of the most significant sources of fostering civic culture, necessitates special attention to religious adherence and beliefs in encouraging commitment to civic ethics. Furthermore, civic teachings should be tailored to meet the social, religious, and cultural needs of society.
