Abstract :
Background and Objective: Today, land governance is considered to be the most efficient way of managing land issues;By accepting land as a local resource and commodity at the urban level,the present study considers the local level as the most appropriate official institution under the banner of the central government to manage it.This study investigates the situation of urban land management in Iran and introduces a new proposed model called the model of integrated urban land governance for its efficiency.
Material and Methodology: This research is presented with inductive strategy and a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods at three spatial levels (Iran, Golestan province and Gorgan city). The statistical population is the main institutions in charge of urban land and those who refer to them in 1398. Data collection was done by documentary and field methods and for data analysis, Spearman model with Amos software and Swat method and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) were used.
Findings: Inefficient institutional arrangements, lack of integration of land-related institutions contribute to poor land governance and efficiency of measures. The analyzes showed that independent variable of agreement-oriented integration has total effects on dependent variable and the proposed research model and sustainable urban land management have a statistically significant relationship.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that urban land management in Iran is centralized, closed and inefficient,with local levels acting as agents.themodel of integrated urban land governance based onthe formulation of a clear meta-institutional vision and integrated meta-strategic strategic policy was proposed withthe coordination and consensus of allstakeholders andactors by delegating some government powers tothe lowest level of local institutions with the necessary capacity building.
