Problem statement: Utilizing knowledge as an inexhaustible source of wealth creation has drawn the attention of scholars to the concept of entrepreneurship in various disciplines to achieve the economic and social development of societies, adapt to changes, and commercialize knowledge. In this regard, architecture must also take steps to ensure its survival and presence, and to synchronize with this concept in a dynamic and up-to-date structure to solve problems, overcome challenges, and respond to the demands and needs of society. It must align its traditional mindset with an entrepreneurial mindset and utilize its skill potential. The main question of this study is: What is the concept of opportunity-based architectural entrepreneurship? What is its structure, mechanisms, results, and contributions? And what are the components of the entrepreneurial model of Iran’s architecture presently based on entrepreneurial opportunities?Research

This study, while addressing the necessity of attention to the emerging concept of architectural entrepreneurship, presents a conceptual model of opportunity-based architectural entrepreneurship and examines the formation process and details of the realization of this model in the context of today’s architecture in Iran.Research

The present study is applied-developmental using a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection was exploratory and carried out in two steps; first, in the field of architecture, the meta-synthesis method was used to find the dimensions of problems, deficiencies, and challenges of today’s architecture in Iran, and in the second step, the Fuzzy Delphi technique was used to validate the extracted dimensions and components. The statistical population of the first step included 59 scientific research documents, and the second step included 39 architectural experts selected based on purposive sampling. Through the meta-synthesis method, 11 macro-level problems, deficiencies, and challenges of today’s architecture in Iran were identified as entrepreneurial opportunities in the Iranian architecture field. All macro-level problem dimensions and their associated components were validated and verified by experts using the fuzzy Delphi method owing to the necessity of attention to the emerging concept of architectural entrepreneurship, and the initial model of the opportunity-based architectural entrepreneurship process was outlined.

According to the obtained model, to realize start-ups in the field of architecture, the architectural entrepreneurship opportunities, a large portion of which stem from the problems, challenges, and weaknesses of contemporary Iranian architecture, must be examined so that the architectural entrepreneurship process can take shape through the interaction of architecture with entrepreneurial knowledge and its associated skills. In this way, one can leverage all the benefits and advantages of entrepreneurship in architecture and use them to address architectural problems and challenges, create employment and welfare, achieve sustainable development in various dimensions, and create and preserve the values of the Iranian architectural community.

Today, in the changing global conditions, "entrepreneurship" as a mechanism of economic development through innovation, creating employment and expanding welfare in the society is of special importance in social governance, especially in urban management and safety. Researchers in the field of entrepreneurship policy believe that "countries with many entrepreneurs cannot achieve economic growth and development, but they need an appropriate entrepreneurial ecosystem, so that they can achieve this goal. On this basis, we need to evaluate and analyze the ecosystem of advanced technologies with an integrated model of entrepreneurship of advanced technologies. And based on the research literature, the pattern of extracted components is coded in 3 reference dimensions of analysis, roles and characteristics, which are classified in 22 subsystem fields. This research is fundamental in terms of research results and practical in terms of purpose and has an exploratory nature. The research is derived from the results of Behbahani's research (1401), which used the structural equations method to investigate the effect of other components on the relationship between the above three components with entrepreneurship of advanced technologies in four basic hypotheses regarding the meaningful and positive relationship between the components of entrepreneurship and The dimensions of technology analysis, entrepreneurship components and characteristics and roles, dimensions of analysis and decision to entrepreneurship, characteristics and roles and decision to entrepreneurship have been examined and the results confirm the hypotheses except for the third hypothesis. It is suggested that in future researches, in addition to advanced industries, all industries should be focused on in different time periods and at the same time as the development of administrative services and urban management.

From the beginning of the formation of human civilization, handicrafts, as the most vital possibility for the preservation and continuation of human living conditions, have been at the service of human beings.  To this day, their presence has served as an opportunity to explain the identity and culture of all civilizations. Handicrafts also adopt a new approach in each period in accordance with the changing living conditions and the needs of society. Meanwhile, such an approach is affected by the response it should show to the material and spiritual needs of the audience. The combination of these features, on the one hand, has made handicrafts as efficient and effective examples in the field of creative and cultural industries. On the other hand, their technical diversity and climatic extent have provided numerous (and sometimes ambiguous) definitions for handicrafts. In the meantime and according to the concepts and components of future research, none of these definitions seem to have addressed the nature of this art industry (contemporary aspect) and its impact on sustainable development. Therefore, in this fundamental research, with the approach of exploratory futures research, an attempt is made to provide a scientific, modern, and strategic definition for saving the position of contemporary handicrafts by reviewing conceptual impulses. In this way, data collected through studying the documents and library resources alongside the field method (that is, in-depth interview). The result of this research has shown that the difference between contemporary definition of handicrafts and the traditional one is based on the significant relationship they have with creative industries. In a world where the passage of time is so fast that its value cannot be understood, the control and creation of time is a gift that turns contemporary handicrafts into a solution for cultural and economic development by designing futuristic scenarios. In this case, today's generation, viewing the support devoted to the rich culture and to the value of their traditions, will be able to shape the sustainable development of this art and turn this part of the creative industry into an identity worthy of the future.

Statement of Problem:

 One person can achieve many successes by entering the world of handicrafts with creativity and perseverance. Handicrafts always provide a part of the needs of the society and the society reciprocally supports this beauty and originality. In the same way, artists can present their products to the audience according to this need. Perseverance, patience and creativity among students and artists in the field of handicrafts and other related fields are the prerequisites for success. Time must pass before the artist and his works that express his mind can be trusted and loved in society. At the beginning of the path, artists who are just beginning to work in this field may have hesitated and regretted that they had entered this field. A person who has just entered the field of handicrafts, by upgrading the level of his ability and knowledge, can identify the needs of the people of the society and present the needs of his products to the audience accordingly. The field of Islamic art and its tendencies is taught as an independent field in universities, however, sometimes students enter the labor market in fields unrelated to their field of study after graduation. From the perspective of economic activists, handicrafts have the potential to be selected in the form of entrepreneurship and job creation as a source of income, and even as a non-oil export currency.

Choosing Islamic arts or crafts as a university discipline for students may have ambiguities and fears. Career future after graduation will be their most important concern. Perhaps even because of these fears, students have abandoned the path of handicrafts and are looking for administrative and government jobs that are not related to their interests. This study examines the activity of graduates in the field of arts and metal work, hoping that the collected materials will be useful for students and those who are eager to start their work in this field. So The purpose of this study is to investigate the working conditions of Islamic Art graduates (arts and metalwork), identify barriers and incentives for graduates to enter the market and identify strategies to improve their employment status in this field.

Research questions:

What are the working conditions of students after graduation? What are the job barriers and their stimuli in the market of Islamic arts and handicrafts? What branches of Islamic arts and handicrafts are most welcomed?

This research is of a developmental type in terms of applied purpose. In terms of nature and method, it is a descriptive-analytical research of survey type. In terms of how to collect information, this research is a survey. In addition to using library methods, field methods such as questionnaires have been used, where sampling has been done voluntarily. The statistical population of this study includes; 128 undergraduate and graduate students of Islamic Arts major in metal arts of Tabriz Islamic Art University. In this study, 42 students answered the questionnaire and the rest of the graduates did not show any desire to answer due to sending the questionnaire.

Entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a vital element of success in today's society due to its significant contribution to economic growth, job creation and technological advances. The importance of entrepreneurship and its key role in the development of societies, has caused most universities in developed and developing countries to consider its use and in this direction through the formulation of policies And scientific programs and applied strategies to develop and strengthen the culture, spirit and entrepreneurial behavior among members of society in general and students and academics in particular.In this research, the economic and entrepreneurial conditions of the graduates of a branch of Islamic art called art and metal industries have been analyzed. Undergraduate students of Islamic art (metal) with four years and graduates of master with two years of teaching experience can find acceptable experiences in this field. Graduates' career motivations and barriers can be divided into two groups. The first group is at the disposal of the artist, who can improve it and facilitate business conditions in this field. The second group is beyond the artist's control, and the market conditions and the economic situation of the society and the support of the government can restore and facilitate it.

The field of traditional sewing, as a subset of industrial arts, is one of the most important and extensive sections of applied arts and cultural traditions in all civilizations throughout history. At the same time, the industrialization of products and the indiscriminate use of machines in recent centuries in the field of textiles and clothing-related decorations have marginalized the traditional aspects of this art. Given that today, industrial arts along with historical monuments and natural attractions by recounting cultural and social features as part of the creative cultural industries, are complementary to the growth of the tourism industry, the revival of traditional sewing and production in this area with a look at the future will lead to economic development and job opportunities. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the impact of the traditional field of tailoring on entrepreneurship, job creation and tourism and to look at the continuation of this art in the future; Recognizes the necessary conditions and facilities in the field of formal education and answers the following questions: 1. What is the effect of the presence of traditional sewing in universities and scientific education centers on productive employment, entrepreneurship and creative tourism? 2. What conditions and facilities are necessary for the presence of this field in the formal education environment and fourth-generation university systems? This research is qualitative in terms of what; It is practical in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. Data were collected through documentary studies and library resources simultaneously with the field method (interview and observation) and based on a futures research approach. The findings of this study show that the presence of traditional sewing in future universities will provide employment and prosperity for the tourism industry and will lead to the revival of many jobs related to this art. One of the most important scenarios that can be proposed to achieve this result is the publication of a codified encyclopedia of traditional sewing as a scientific reference and teaching resource in this field and the harmonization of its teaching method in scientific centers, creating a specialized museum, holding domestic and foreign exhibitions, creating a national trade :union:. To support and guide artists and producers, the exchange of information between artists and the remove all existing barriers to research, production and sales. Production of creative products, use of target markets, correct use of modern technology and machinery, development of tourism and adequate productivity of traditional production workshops; are the result of the presence of this field in the fourth-generation universities. This is possible with the support of managers and officials from veteran and interested artists who have worked hard for years to preserve and introduce this field and have valuable experiences to pass on to the next generation.

Education has always been one of the main priorities in the sustainable development infrastructure in the world, and the efficiency of educational content in training knowledgeable people from those who are under training is always one of the ultimate goals of any educational system. The current priorities also exist in Iran, which are mentioned in the above documents. One of the important factors that can play a key role in cultural development and its continuity, is research in the field of testing and optimizing education. In today's world, efficient higher education is considered as the most basic and most important pillar of economic, social and cultural development, and no change in society will take place without paying special attention to the role of the education system. With the rapid development of work and life skills in the contemporary conditions, the education system of any society needs to be improved quantitatively and qualitatively.One of the important goals and tasks of the higher education system in any country is to train knowledgeable and efficient manpower that is required by society. Universities today must train graduates with the skills to be able to take important roles in this age of learning. Curriculum design and its revision is a purposeful, progressive, and systematic process for making positive improvements in the higher education system. Accordingly, having a suitable and working curriculum has become a valuable national asset;Curricula, as one of the most important elements of higher education, have a special place in the efficiency and effectiveness of education and, consequently, the development of capable graduates, because it is according to this program that countries can achieve their human assets. As a standard, to optimize the implemented curriculum, it is necessary to go through three coherent steps. The first is the assessment and pathology of the current state of the program. The second stage is to draw the desired situation from a professional perspective, and the final stage is to provide strategic suggestions for strengthening and optimization of the plan and curriculum. In this research, an attempt was made to analyze the status of the bachelor's degree in Islamic art with an emphasis on the entrepreneurial perspective.The components of entrepreneurship education for development are a fundamental issue that has been considered and studied by countries around the world and according to this consideration, it has been revealed that the components of entrepreneurship are often acquired and not hereditary. Entrepreneurial features and characteristics should be used to improve the economic, political and cultural arenas, which provide various factors for this cultural context for individuals. One of the most important aspects of this academic context is close and careful analysis of this curriculum’s efficiency. Evidently this research needs to select one specific field with enough research potential.Islamic art is selected, due to its deep connection with the history, civilization, culture, and identity of Islamic Iran, has a distinct place. Currently, this field is active for both undergraduate and graduate levels. The bachelor's degree in Islamic art has been established since 2005 to educate committed, capable and productive people to enhance the quality and quantity of original Iranian-Islamic art and culture. This field has several potential capacities in line with knowledge, insight, and skills. Consequently, it can be considered as a principal discipline in cultural, economic, and social development. In spite of the countless advantages of this field and regarding the fact that more than a decade has passed since its establishment, less research has been conducted methodically and accurately to assess the effectiveness of the curriculum and the subject of Islamic art and provide an effective model in line with its optimization. Then, it is essential to assess the effectiveness of the curriculum and the subject of this field regarding cultural, economic, and social developments at the national and international levels and to provide scientific and executive solutions. The current study aims to evaluate and optimize a bachelor's degree in Islamic art from an entrepreneurial perspective. The main research question consists of two parts. First, at what level are the four pillars of purpose, content, teaching, and evaluation are assessed in Islamic art with an emphasis on the components of entrepreneurship? Via the capacities in the field of entrepreneurship and interdisciplinary perspective, what is the structure and components of the optimization model of the curriculum and Islamic art?In terms of purpose, the current study is of developmental studies. This means that, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, the results can be used for the efficient development of higher education in Islamic art.  Methodologically, regarding the interdisciplinary and multidimensional nature of the research, a mixture of descriptive-survey and descriptive-analytical methods have been used to attain the goals and answer the questions. The most significant tool for collecting information in the field was the questionnaire. In this paper, a researcher-made questionnaire has been used to better fit the subject. Construct and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the Delphi method and its reliability was confirmed based on Cronbach's alpha. Questionnaire items were compiled via Delphi method and experts, a meta-analysis of valid researches and qualitative findings as well as analysis of the components of appropriate standard questionnaires. According to the headings, the questionnaire is based on four main sections, including purpose, content, teaching, and evaluation. The research experts’ community includes university professors, experts with a first and second degree in art and other specialists in the field of Islamic art education and higher art education, and the field of educational sciences with a focus on curriculum and entrepreneurship, economics and entrepreneurship education. The leading method of questionnaire results analysis was done using descriptive statistical methods including mean, median, and standard deviation. The findings of the documentary analysis, meta-analysis, and content analysis have been qualitatively analyzed. A summary of the research findings reveals that among the four pillars of purpose, content, teaching, and evaluation, the content dimension with an average of 53 had the lowest score and the teaching dimension with an average of 69 had the highest score compared to other sections. It should be mentioned that according to the standard questionnaire and experts’ opinions, more than 66% of the items in the purpose section, more than 90% of the content items, more than 45% of the teaching items, and finally more than 60% of the evaluation items are evaluated below average (weak). Consequently, while approving the research hypothesis, the findings emphasize the need to optimize the subject of Islamic art with an emphasis on entrepreneurship and interdisciplinary perspective. The suggested optimal model with nine main elements including necessity, purpose, content, comprehensive, learning process, teaching, learning environment, teacher, and evaluation was developed and accepted by experts. The leading features in the development of the components include: increasing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary viewpoints, developing the entrepreneurial context in Islamic arts, consolidating and improving the university's relationship with other educational centers, using new educational contexts, benefiting from successful domestic and foreign experiences, and other components with an emphasis on the promotion of effectiveness and optimization of the curriculum and the rubric of Islamic art. The stated model, if established and implemented, can be fruitful in optimizing the Islamic art education system based on the continuous evaluation system.

Since lately¡ it was believed that only big enterprises could own a “brand”¡ but by emerging the idea of “micro-brand” this conception changed )Scott Gross¡ 2001(. The term »Micro-brand« is defined as a structure apposite to small and medium businesses¡ designers and independent producers. This draws attention to the importance of launching businesses training courses. However¡ in curriculum of industrial design in universities of Iran¡ such courses have not been included. Furthermore¡ crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter designed to raise funds for mass-producing the designs¡ for Iranian students has little benefit as publishing an electronic journal for innovative products. This article reviews a model provided in the United States for training the methods of launching personal businesses to the students of industrial design. Later on¡ focusing on “fundraising” through crowdfunding¡ it considers the analysis and study of the domestic facilities and potentials; moreover¡ it attempts to provide solutions for design schools in Iran in the direction of training entrepreneur students.
