Abstract

Since humans formed the society next to other humans, communication was formed and continued in history. Communication studies throughout history can bring many achievements for communication researchers. One of the important historical periods in the history of Iran is the Safavid era. During the Safavid era, when a central and powerful government was formed, we have witnessed fundamental and important changes in all aspects of human and social group life. One of these aspects is the communication system. The communication system during the Safavid era was developed and organized more than other periods. This research aims to examine the elements and components that form and strengthen the communication system during the Safavid era which has been formulated and studied in communication by using the analytical descriptive method in historical studies under the three main components of the sender, places of communication, the twelve elements including bakers, Chapars (couriers), world travelers, scholars and thinkers, art, language, political communication, city and communication routes, caravanserais, mosques, shrines, and cafés.
