Item type:Publication, Green Campus initiative and its impacts on quality of life of stakeholders in Green and Non-Green Campus universities(2016-12-01); Hollmann, Nicholas M.In 2010, Universitas Indonesia (UI) developed the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking for universities to share information about their sustainability practices. This ranking system was well aligned with the basis of Sustainability for Higher Education. The scoring system can also be used as a guideline for universities to achieve sustainability in their campuses. Since its first launch, more universities around the world have increasingly participated in the ranking system including many universities in Thailand. This study compared perception of stakeholders in Green Campus and Non-Green Campus universities in Thailand regarding stakeholders’ satisfaction on sustainability practices and perceived quality of life at their campuses. The results showed that stakeholders at the studied Green Campus University were more satisfied and had significantly better perceived quality of life compared to stakeholders from the studied Non-Green Campus university. The results suggested that universities should adopt the criteria set in the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking to achieve better sustainability in their campuses and improve quality of life of their stakeholders. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Factors influencing the usage of bicycles on university campuses: A case study of universities in Thailand(2023-12-01); University campuses usually consist of many buildings with different functions, e.g., classrooms, laboratories, offices, and cafeterias. In turn, students and university employees may commute between these buildings several times a day. Organizing in-campus transportation suitable for the campus’ characteristics and the travel behavior of the community is, therefore, a critical and challenging task. This paper focuses on using a bicycle as a mode of transport on university campuses. We analyzed the traveler's demographic, behaviors, and their attitudes toward cycling by conducting a survey covering students, faculty, and staff in several universities. In total, we have collected 1,433 responses from 19 universities across Thailand. According to the responses, most undergrad students use motorcycles and public transport as their primary modes of transport. In contrast, postgrad students, faculty, and staff mainly use private cars. Only 2.9% of all respondents use bicycles regularly. By applying Binary Logistic Regression to the responses data, we found that the demographic factors, including residency and mode of transport, are important determinants of bicycle use on university campuses. Also, lacking dedicated bicycle lanes and long travel times are main obstacles preventing people from cycling within university campuses. Based on these results, the study suggests that improving the availability and accessibility of bicycle facilities could encourage more people to use bicycles as a sustainable mode of transport on university campuses.
