Designing a Framework for Improving the Application of Land Management Planning in the Development of Scientific-Applied Education
The most important factor that has caused fundamental changes in the functions of higher education is the category of demand for education, which is the result of the sum of people's demands for education. In fact, the category of social demand for education is raised in the framework of the demand to enter universities and higher education institutions, which has caused major changes in educational policies. In the last century, universities and higher education centers as an organization have played an important role in national development. In the same way, the social responsibility of the university in the last few decades due to the growth of the number of students and its popularization and the rising level of expectation of the university in the society has been noticed by the educational planners and the higher education system has a series of activities and career and professional programs in the university community. have expanded Therefore, one of the most influential organizations today are universities and higher education centers, and their role has evolved from a single role and a single institution to a multi-role and multi-institutional one, i.e. educational, research, service and professional development. On the one hand, one of the important differences between sustainable development and other forms of development is the attention to human resources and emphasizes and pays attention to the needs of today's and future generations. One of the most important tools of human resource development is high-level education, which provides opportunities for people's growth in various fields. Therefore, in the agenda of countries regarding land, education has been identified as an important component to promote sustainable development. in such a way that it can improve the capacity and ability of people to pay attention to environmental and development issues and added that education is the element of achieving environmental awareness, attitudes and skills related to sustainable development and effective and active participation of people in decision making The main goal of this article is to design a framework for improving the use of land use planning in the development of scientific-applied education.
The research method is mixed (qualitative-quantitative). In order to conduct this research, in addition to document study, thematic analysis technique was used to identify the effective factors on the application of land use planning in the development of scientific-applied education. The statistical population in this research was all faculty members, managers and experts of the University of Applied Sciences and faculty members and employees of the Ministry of Science until the theoretical saturation of 23 interviews. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts in 1400 in the form of basic, organizing, and inclusive themes, and to determine the current state of the dimensions, a sample T-Tech test was used, and structural equation method was used to design the desired framework. According to semi-structured interviews, 5 dimensions and 21 components were extracted. Finally, the land development planning questionnaire with 35 indicators was designed by a researcher and was implemented on 326 managers and experts of the University of Applied Sciences in order to examine the current situation and provide a framework. The coefficients obtained from the analysis of structural equations showed that the social factors of planning with a coefficient of 0.745 have the greatest effect and local and regional factors have the least effect with a coefficient of 0.356.
23 interviews were conducted with faculty members, managers and experts of the Comprehensive University of Applied Sciences and faculty members and employees of the Ministry of Science with semi-structured questions. Finally, in this process, 652 primary codes were extracted. With multiple revisions and integration of codes based on similarity and through several steps, finally 21 components were extracted for 5 dimensions. In the main sample, a questionnaire was distributed to 326 people and the results were displayed using structural equations. The value of R2 for the structure is 0.782. According to the three criterion values, it confirms the fit of the structural model.
Land planning is a type of planning that pays attention to land as a fundamental and determining factor in meeting development goals. John Friedman and William Alonso have emphasized that deciding where to locate a new project is as important as deciding whether to invest in that project. Also, the issue of social justice in its distribution according to social classes is important and difficult. In the needs assessment, all available sources of information, including soft and hard data, within the higher education system and society, are carefully examined and then future opportunities are determined. In higher education, governance refers to the legal allocation of power among the diverse decision-making structures of universities and higher education institutions and the diverse executive structures and management of universities, who should make decisions and what is the focus of decisions and decisions. has it. The educational system is known as an important tool in the comprehensive growth and development of the country. The most important goal in universities is to develop skills and strengthen and develop the cognitive field of students. In universities, attention is paid to spatial and geographical planning that explains regional capabilities, abilities, needs for fair development with the meaning of resources and environment.

Acceptance of complex and creative thinking to demonstrate knowledge from several perspectives is effective in cultivating wisdom in higher education, which provides the basis for the promotion of pedagogical wisdom. The present study aimed to design a model for Promoting Pedagogical Wisdom in Higher Education. The research method is qualitative and based on Grounded Theory. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and data analysis was performed by Strauss and Corbin method(2007) and paradigm model. Sampling was done in a theoretical way using targeted (judgmental) and snowball (chain) techniques, based on which 16 interviews were conducted with experts in the field of educational management and current and former directors of higher education. The results of analyzing the data obtained from the interviews during the open, axial and selective coding process and using Maxqda software to create a model for Promoting Pedagogical Wisdom in Higher Education based on the Grounded Theory of the foundation including 6 main dimensions, 38 sub-dimensions and 180 conceptual characteristics led.

The university management system is the executive arm of university governance and organizes, coordinates and oversees the processes of the functional areas of the university. Part of the social development of the university depends on the comprehensive and interactive presence of the constituencies of the university in this system. The purpose of this study was to identify the components and dimensions of promoting students' participation in university management system in Iran. This research was conducted in the form of a case study and a mixed exploratory research method in two parts: qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative section, in order to identify the dimensions and components of students' participation purposive judgmental method, a sample of 63 studies in the field of research was selected and by systematically reviewing them, 70 components were identified. Then, through a semi-structured interview tool with a group of experts consisting of 17 academic experts, 61 components were finally determined and prioritized by Fuzzy Delphi Method and classified in five dimensions. In the quantitative part, the current situation of students' participation in the form of descriptive-survey method was assessed through a researcher-made questionnaire from the perspective of 909 individuals. Findings showed that students' participation in the university management system in Iran are not favorable. One of the important obstacles is the unwillingness to work in a team along with the centralism of universities and the weakness of participatory structures. The results showed that 61 components are effective in promoting students' participation in university management system in Iran. These components are in 5 dimensions: structural and managerial (11 components), institutional (7 components), cultural and social (7 components), individual (25 components) and valuable (11 components). Strengthening these components can lead to the upgrading of the university management system to a "council system".

The purpose of this study was to present a model of factors affecting barriers to organizational vitality in government organizations (Case study: government organizations in Mazandaran province).
