Abstract

The aim of the present study was to design a cultural policy-making model based on the participation of middle circles (a study in the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance) in 1402. In the qualitative part, we used the meta-synthesis method to identify components and indicators. The number of statistical samples in this study was 174 scientific articles that were selected from reputable domestic and foreign sites, and a sample of 74 articles was selected using the Sandelowski and Barroso method, and the critical value of known articles and components and indicators were determined using the focus group and the CSP method. Then, for screening using the Delphi method, 18 people were selected from the statistical population, representatives of the Parliament, the Cultural Commission of the Parliament, university professors, and officials and trustees of Islamic Culture and Guidance, using a targeted accessible method. The Delphi method was implemented in two rounds, and the components and indicators were revised and adjusted. In the quantitative part, we designed the model using structural and interpretive modeling and using a focus group, and in addition to the leveling of the components, the type of components was also determined. The results of identifying indicators and components in the qualitative part showed that political factors, policy agility in the field of cultural transformation, geographical factors, opportunities and location, specific functions of middle links, cultural strategies, threats to cultural policy, external environment of technical factors, general government policies, middle links in the field of culture, the impact of culture on policy, human capital, types of middle links, etc. The general functions of middle links in the meta-composition were identified and screened through the Delphi method, and finally, with the help of the interpretive structural modeling method, the levels of each variable were introduced.
