Meaning is one of the essential aspects of a city's identity, and the loss of meaning or incompatibility of meaning with Islamic identity is one of the main cultural concerns in modern cities. The city image and its landmarks present cultural values to its audiences. According to these facts, cognition of the principles and components affecting the perception of meaning in city images and landmarks based on Islamic wisdom seem necessary. Since the achievement of semantic components in an Islamic city's image is considered, the Islamic Ideology will be significant. Thus, responding to the crisis of meaning in the environment and recognizing the process and components affecting the perception of Islamic meaning has presented a conceptual model of the Islamic definition of the city's image. This research was qualitative and descriptive-analytical. The relationship between concepts and components has been examined in a logical reasoning method using various sources. Based on the Islamic ideology values, the semantic components of the Islamic city's image have been concluded and finalized by the Delphi method in several stages by consulting experts. These components have been studied and compared in several commercial complexes in Tabriz city. The results indicate that the perception of meaning occurs when the messages of city image, cultural values, and mental schemas are in harmony. In conclusion, due to the lack of attention to the spiritual principles and concepts in the research samples, the received meaning does not correspond to Islamic values and schemas.

National identity is one of the bases of maintaining unity and integrity within a nation, and the governments are obliged to strengthen the components of national identity in the society in order to maintain the existence and integrity of the country. A way for educating students about national identity is through the codification of curriculum and textbooks in the schools. Considering that national identity means having a sense of belonging to a country in which the people have shared language, land, cultural heritage and customs, emotions and memories, political system, symbols, and national heroes, history, economic unity, art, literature, and even similar religion; this sense of belonging in a nation creates a kind of solidarity and unity. In this article, the existence of national identity components in the formal education of primary schools in Belgium has been studied, by analyzing the content of primary school curriculums and the answers of primary schools teachers to questionnaires containing 25 questions in three languages of English, French, and Dutch which were sent to 3140 primary schools in Belgium. The Educational questionnaires and phenomenological results of the Belgian government's political and sociological actions in the society show that the state is not only indifferent to the national identity and its consolidation but also seeks to consolidate national identity and nation-building based on the defined Belgian values. This article is based on library studies, obtaining information through a set of questionnaires and direct observation of the environment, using document-based, descriptive, qualitative content analysis and field studies.
