Abstract

Recognizing and analyzing the values of the railway heritage requires a careful examination in the evolution of the concept of values, which is explained by an integrated and comprehensive understanding of its cultural dignity. Due to the variety of works and concepts, the concept of value in the railway heritage for a better understanding of the boundaries of cultural dignity is a little difficult, which has been tried to present a practical method for expressing the values of the work. Studies related to the era of the Industrial Revolution are one of the most important historical periods in each country, and this stage of the society's transition from the traditional structure to modernity has brought about widespread changes at all levels and aspects of human life. Trans-Iranian Railway as a work on the UNESCO World Heritage site's tentative list contains outstanding universal values not just as a communication path, but also as an important part from memory of a committed engineering and a masterpiece of construction. This research provides a framework for understanding and clarifying the values of the railway heritage and its adaptation with trans-Iranian railway as a case study.
