Abstract
This study examined Patuakhali Science and Technology University’s impact on its neighboring rural communities. A five-point Likert-type scale survey was undertaken among university employees and community dwellers from December 2021 to June 2022. Results revealed that the university could affect its host neighborhood. Both survey groups highly agreed on improving education, eco-cultural development, and infrastructure in the host neighborhood. Female respondents perceived fewer impacts than male respondents ( p < .05). People perceived fewer impacts as their age, family size, and family income increased ( p < .05). Findings might help the university administration and policymakers set their strategies for developing rural coastal communities.
