More than half of the population are living in cities and the number is increasing. Interactions of urbanization-migration-environment is becoming a great concern since increase in
urbanization accelerates migration and environmental problems. Education can be regarded
a promising actor to overcome challenges due to these interactions. Accordingly, this study
aimed to examine university students’ views on the interactions among urbanization-migration-environment to construct a plan on related educational context. A total of 42 students
were participated to the study. Their responses were analyzed through descriptive statistics
and content analysis. The findings revealed that they have two major arguments. While some
claimed that migration leads environmental problems, others believed that environmental problems are due to unplanned urbanization but not migration. To conclude, we have suggested
to support environmental education context in universities to emphasize the interactions of
urbanization-migration-environment to help future decision-makers, educators and engineers
redefine urbanization for a sustainable world.
