Abstract

In the Kurdish areas, kolberi has turned from an economic activity into a socio-cultural life of the world and Despite the risks, security implications and institutional measures have continued. In this regard, intervention measures have been implemented by various governments in order to organize and control this painful situation. The aim of the current research is to analyze the implementation of the program of regulations for the organization of exchange in informal temporary border markets. In order to achieve this goal, the present research has been used with the conceptual support of collaborative development and critical ethnographic methodology to conduct the research. The target community is the institutional and non-institutional actors related to Kolberi in Baneh city, and 71 people involved were selected for semi-structured interviews through purposeful and snowball sampling. The findings showed that Kolbari's organizing program was dominated by ignoring, capital-oriented orientation and hasty confrontation of institutional brokers and And their understanding and experience of these programs has indicated their inability and bureaucratization. The implementation of the Kolberi organizing program has led to the aggravation of poverty and the reproduction of authoritarianism, the revival of Kolberi, the disregard of the world and the practical experience of the border dwellers, and disruption of the village order.
