University and Resistance Economy: The Role of Universities in the Realization of Resistance Economy Through Cultural Infrastructures

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of universities in the realization of the strength of the economy through infrastructure, human resources, cultural, political, social and economic.
The research community is the faculty members of Mazandaran Universities, whose number is about 3,500. The researcher-made questionnaire of this research is a cluster random sampling among 470 members of the distribution community with 420 correct questionnaires. In order to analyze the data, structural equation approach and LISREL software were used.
The findings of the research showed that the university has a significant effect on the cultural infrastructure with a coefficient of 0.76. On the other hand, the cultural infrastructure also has a 0.82 impact on the resistance economy. Furthermore cultural infrastructure functions as a mediator in the relationship between the university and the realization of partial resistance economy.
The results showed that the impact of university on resistive economy is more possible with the presence of cultural infrastructure variable as a mediator. However, the university directly affects the resistance economy.
