Providing a comprehensive and systematic analysis of culture for the sake of making better decisions has always been one of the main concerns of our country's cultural management system. One cannot make proper and reliable decisions without having access to correct and exact information about the past and present status of one’s country's culture. Gathering correct and exact pieces of information and analyzing them effectively requires comprehensive patterns and models that take into consideration all the dimensions of a cultural system and its decisive interactions with other systems. Applying a fundamental conceptualization theory method and using the findings of the latest national studies in the field of culture, the present paper provides a comprehensive conceptual model including parts and elements of cultural system, components of culture, levels of culture and their interactions.
