Handicrafts have arisen from a nation's desire to meet its material and spiritual needs, and besides their efficiency in meeting material needs, they have also been decorated and adorned in keeping with the taste of the nation that uses them; a taste that raises a simple vessel to the level of a distinguished and valuable work and brings it to such degrees of beauty and solidity that future generations take pride in it as their cultural and indigenous heritage. Because handicrafts have both a functional and an aesthetic aspect, they can therefore be examined both in terms of outer and inner form and in terms of the decorative motifs and color used in them.
Specialists acknowledge that the prosperity and flourishing of the cultural industries make a considerable contribution to the economy of developing countries and also to the sustainability of cultural traditions and values. Therefore a vast volume of studies and scientific research seeks to examine how art can be promoted effectively. According to the studies conducted, what more than anything else has hindered cultural entrepreneurship in traditional arts is environmental factors; accordingly, the main research question is: what are the environmental factors affecting cultural entrepreneurship in nomadic handicrafts?
