As education area, campus or university is full with various activities which have an impact on the existence of land-use or land-cover. The variation of activities dynamically change the shape of land-use or land-cover within the campus area, thus also create variations in Land Surface Temperature (LST). The LST are impacting the coziness of human activity especially when reaches more than 30 oC. This study used the term Urban Heat Signature (UHS) to explain LST in different land-use or land-cover types. The objective of this study is to examine UHS as an Urban Heat Hazard (UHH) based on Universal Temperature Climate Index (UTCI) and Effective Temperature Index (ETI) in University of Indonesia. Thermal bands of Landsat 8 images (the acquisition year 2013-2015) were used to create LST model. A ground data known as Air Surface Temperature (AST) were used to validate the model. The result showed an increased level of maximum temperature during September-October since 2013 until 2014. The maximum temperature was reduced in October 2014, however it increased again in August 2015. The UTCI showed "moderate" and "strong heat stress", while EFI showed "uncomfortable" and "very uncomfortable" categories during that period. This research concluded that build up area in UI Campus highest temperature on UI campus based on UHS. Range UHS in Campus UI on 2013 (21.8-31.1oC), 2014 (25.0-36.2oC) and 2015 (24.9-38.2oC). This maximum UHS on September (2014 and 2015) put on levelling UTCI included range temperature 32-35oC, with an explanation of sensation temperature is warm and sensation of comfort is Uncomfortable, Psychology with Increasing Stress Case by Sweating and Blood Flow and Health category is Cardiovascular Embarrassment. This UHS occurs in September will give impact on psychology and health, that's become the UHH of the living on education area. Kampus UI tahun 2013 (21.8-31.1oC), tahun 2014 (25.0-36.2oC) dan tahun 2015 Abstrak Sebagai kawasan pendidikan, kampus atau universitas memiliki berbagai jenis aktivitasi yang mungkin berdampak pada keberadaan penggunaan atau tutupan lahan. Variasi dari aktivitas tersebut secara dinamis dapat merubah bentuk dari penggunaan atau tutupan lahan di dalam kawasan kampus, yang secara langsung juga dapat berdampak pada variasi Suhu Permukaan Tanah (SPT). SPT akan berdampak pada kenyamanan aktivitas manusia terutama pada

“…It also recommends conducting similar research in the developing countries and compares it with the research conducted in the emerging countries. It is also suggested to assess the adherence between the condition in the university and the other frameworks such as GASU [30], STARS, and Campus Sustainability Assessment Framework [38], both in emerging countries and developing countries.…”

“…The other framework, STARS, is more useful for higher education institutions in developed countries. The survey conducted in Malaysia indicates that some variables are not completely appropriate to the Malaysian context [38]. The framework is proposed by researchers from emerging countries and the adoption of this framework is well accepted in India [36] as a part of emerging countries.…”

Abstract-There exist explicit pressures to the universities to integrate sustainability into their systems due to numerous declarations and commitments related to the need of sustainability in higher education. As a consequence, there are several frameworks for achieving campus sustainability. The objective of this research is to verify the adherence between the condition at Diponegoro University and the framework for achieving campus sustainability proposed by Alshuwaikat and Abubakar. A case study is conducted through observation, data and document collection, and interview with the university's stakeholders, professors, lecturers, and students of the university. It can be concluded that the university is partially adherence with the framework at the time this research was performed. Several recommendations are proposed to the university to be more sustainable.

“…University campuses are considered as cities on a smaller scale (Wong et al, 2007;Saadatian et al, 2013;Srivanit & Hokao, 2013), due to their coverage area, population size and various complex activities (Srivanit & Hokao, 2013). The accelerated rate of urban growth in tropical cities (Makaremi et al, 2012, Ren et al, 2012 and urban land cover will generate heat intensity (Srivanit & Hokao, 2013).…”

The campus, as an educational area, has a variety of land cover with varying surface temperatures. Knowledge of land use in a localized urban environment and its effect on the Urban Heat Signature (UHS) of a university campus is insufficient, so it is essential to assess UHS-related localized urban environments. The objective of this study is to assess land cover and its effect on the UHS of two university campuses. The research used spatial-temporal analysis employing satellite images during the period 2013-2014. The areas studied were the University Malaya (UM) and University Indonesia (UI) campuses. The results show that the land cover of both university campuses has the same localized urban environment pattern. The study concludes that the UHS behavior is an effect of its temporal relation with land cover, which is new knowledge on university campuses about localized urban environments.
