Abstract

This study primarily aims to explore the correlations between strategic planning practices and the achievement of sustainable development in Palestinian local authorities. To accomplish the study's objectives, a descriptive-correlational approach was employed to examine the relationship and impact between the study variables from the perspectives of members of strategic planning committees in the major governorates of the northern West Bank (Nablus, Tulkarm, Jenin, Tubas, Salfit, and Qalqilya). The study model was tested using a sample of 262 members, whose responses were collected through an electronic questionnaire. Non-probability (convenience) sampling was used for ease of data collection. The questionnaire served as the research tool, and the data were analyzed using the Smart-PLS4 software. The results revealed a statistically significant correlation between strategic planning and sustainable development, between strategic planning and the orientation toward renewable energy, and between the orientation toward renewable energy and the achievement of sustainable development. The study emphasized the role of renewable energy as an intermediary between strategic planning and sustainable development. These findings highlight the importance of strategic planning focused on sustainability and the transition to renewable energy as key drivers for achieving sustainable development in Palestinian territories.
