The Impact of Land Use Planning with Higher Health Education Approach on Sustainable Development and Educational Justice in Macro Medical Universities of Region One

The superiority of a country depends more on science and technology application and on the dynamism of the higher education rather than relying on natural resources or current industrial capacities. This way, this study endeavored to investigate the impact of land use planning with higher health education approach on sustainable development and educational justice in macro medical universities of region one in Iran.

The applied study was conducted in the year 2020 with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The population in the qualitative section were 16 individuals who were selected through purposive sampling method, and in the quantitative section, 320 individuals were selected as a sample out of 1851 individuals based on Cochran's formula at 95% and α =5% through stratified random sampling. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire on land use, sustainable development and Golparvar's Educational Justice Questionnaire were employed. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation tests were used to analyze the data.

Considering the values of R2 and path coefficients, it can be concluded that the relationship between land use and sustainable development (with path coefficient 0.790 and R2 value equal to 0.624) compared to the relationship between land management with educational justice (with path coefficient 0.620 and R2 value 0.384) was stronger.

Regarding the superior relationship between land management and sustainable development compared to educational justice, it can be said that the scientific nature and fruitfulness of scientific activities and their continuous development was one of the ultimate goals of land management.
