Abstract

The world is made up of a collection of great and small civilizations with different cultures. One of the great civilizations is Islamic Context is Shiite civilization. Many analyzes on issues related to the Islamic world is explaining geopolitical issues. Few analyzes, with the help of identity and cultural analysis, have covered Geo Cultural analysis. This has been neglected for a long time for a number of reasons. But today, the return to civilizational, cultural, and identity analysis is an inevitable necessity. The Arbaeen March is a social phenomenon that cannot be explained by Geopolitical analysis, and there is a need to pay attention to the discourse or interdisciplinary perspective to analyze it. The question here is why and how the Arbaeen March affects the formation of Shiite Geo Culture. To answer this question, we first examine the factors that influence the impact of culture on the identity group under study and the reason for the formation of Geo Culture, as research indicators, and using quantitative methods of statistical population. Also, the barriers to the formation of Shiite geoculture and their impact have been investigated and compared between both types of factors to find the answer to the main research question. The present research is applied in terms of purpose, Functional, in terms of method, descriptive-analytical, and in terms of data collection survey.
