Abstract :
    Mobility and physical activity are the key factor in providing all the biological aspects of human life in every way. This importance causes dynamics in the behavior and in continuation of that dynamics in the material and practical culture of human societies. According to their lifestyle and living needs, the nomadic nomads have settlements with special characteristics that are in complete harmony with the conditions governing their lives. The black tent symbolizes the life of hardworking people, they are always moving from one place to another. The reason for the durability of this settlement, which is used temporarily in some cases and permanently in other cases, is interesting in its own way. Living in Siah Chadخr is one of the oldest examples of human architecture with nomadic life. It is interesting to note that Siah Chador is a settlement that is compatible with the lifestyle of the nomads and the climatic conditions of the natives of the region. The material of the black covering of the chador is made of thread made from goat hair, and by connecting these strips together, a complete black chador is made. In addition to the tent cover, the black tent consists of main and diagonal columns, connecting rings, short and long ropes, surrounding nails and walls. Black tents, which have been considered as the best and in other words the most suitable shelter for nomads for centuries, are completely compatible with this way of life due to the ease of erecting, removing, preparing and transporting.
