Abstract

Given that land use planning has become a unique solution for sustainable development in the modern era, one of the most complex and important applications is the location of urban space for educational and academic use, which requires careful attention and a comprehensive study of the dimensions and types of space required. Considering the need for education, the optimal determination and distribution of Farhangian University units are of great importance; therefore, the aim of the present study is to identify planning factors affecting the location of university units at Farhangian Comprehensive University. In this quantitative and applied study, a descriptive method of exploratory factor analysis was used. The statistical population of the study consisted of all faculty members of the university who are experts in the subject and are familiar with Farhangian University throughout the country. Seventy-two people were selected as a sample using a simple random sampling method and the Morgan table. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, the validity of which was confirmed using both the content and construct validity methods, and its reliability was confirmed using the Cronbach's alpha method. The results of the study showed that the planning factors affecting the location of Farhangian University units include environmental factors (6 indicators), accessibility (8 indicators), facilities (5 indicators), natural factors (5 indicators), cultural and social factors (5 indicators), and economic factors (4 indicators). The location of educational spaces must be determined with great care due to the importance of proximity to homogeneous uses and the lack of proximity to heterogeneous uses. It is also necessary to pay attention to all environmental, natural, geographical, and social conditions, as well as all inherent and acquired capacities and capabilities of a place.
