Role of University Campus in Driving Sustainability in Southeast Asia: A systematic content analysis
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
For the past two decades, the strategic role of universities in driving sustainability in Southeast Asia has been neglected. This paper fills the research gap by exploring the role of university campuses in promoting sustainability. Through a systematic content analysis of 52 articles, the study examines the focus areas of sustainability efforts on campuses. The findings highlight the primary focus on environment and social development (46%), followed by building and layout administrative and governance, and quality of service (40%). However, there is limited literature on inclusivity (8%), transportation, and mobility (6%) in relation to sustainability.
