The theory of planned behavior was used in this study to model the factors affecting farmers' intention to implement the land consolidation plan. For this purpose, use was made of a descriptive-correlation method based on the structural equation model. The statistical population included farmers in Miyanab District of Shushtar County (N=1400). A sample size of 301 people was adopted based on the Krejci and Morgan table while sampling was carried out using a stratified-random method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire, whose validity was confirmed based on expert opinion by university academic members and its reliability was endorsed through Cronbach's alpha. Also, the average variance extracted (AVE) index was used to determine construct validity while composite reliability (CR) and homogeneity reliability (Rho) indices were used to determine model reliability. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS26 and Smart PLS3 software. The results of the structural equation model showed that the variables attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predicted 63% of the changes in farmers' intention to implement the land consolidation plan. In addition, farmer attitude and subjective norms explain 47% of the changes in perceived behavioral control and the subjective norm variable explains 37% of the changes in farmer attitude towards implementing the land consolidation plan.
