Meymand (Persian: ميمند) is a village in, and the capital of, Meymand Rural District of the Central District of Shahr-e Babak County, Kerman province, Iran.

Demographics

Population

At the time of the 2006 National Census, the village's population was 674 in 181 households. The following census in 2011 counted 214 people in 74 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the village as 105 people in 44 households.

Overview

Regarding the origin of these structures, two theories have been suggested:

Living conditions in Meymhand are harsh due to the aridity of the land and to high temperatures in summers and very cold winters. The local language contains many words from the ancient Sassanid and Pahlavi languages.

In 2005, Meymand was awarded the UNESCO-Green Melina Mercouri International Prize for the Safeguarding and Management of Cultural Landscapes (about $20,000).

On 4 July 2015, the village was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list.

Maymand and its unique position in cultural heritage has been described by Rihanna Ebrahimi, "What makes Maymand specific in the domain of critical heritage studies".
