“…Walking or cycling is the obvious way for low carbon transportation [6]. More public space for walking and cycling safely on campus needs to be promoted [7]. MU salaya campus has intended to promote walking and cycling as primary means for commuting on campus.…”

Mahidol University is one of the leading sustainable universities in Thailand, which recognizes the importance of combining actions to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (17 Sustainable Development Goals: 17 SDGs) and the concept of Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. The eco-university and sustainability policy was launched and implemented in 2021 in order to reach the 17 SDGs. Transportation is one of the important issues of campus development. In order to reduce the greenhouse gas emission from private fossil based fuel transportation, the public transportation both inside and outside the campus area is provided including electric tram, shuttle bus and public bicycle. An Electric cart with solar energy was initiated and used on campus. Walking and cycling as primary means for commuting on campus have been promoted by reduction of vehicle traffic. Cycling lanes are improved and bicycle racks are provided around the campus. Around more than 10,000 bicycles including more than 500 public bicycles were used on campus. The parking areas were constructed and adjusted into green open spaces. Many outdoor spaces are created to support various kinds of activities and gatherings enhancing liveliness and variety to campus lifeKeyword: Mahidol University, Mobility, Transportation, Green area, Sustainability campus

“…Follmer et al [70] proposed the Healthy Academic Greenspace Framework, where "campus green spaces need to be considered as spaces for recovery, recreation, interaction and activity which affect students' well-being through symbolic, identity-creating, social, cognitive and emotional experiences" which integrates physical, mental and social well-being. In terms of outdoor spaces in university campuses, there are even some guidelines on how to design their spaces as more friendly for sustainable modes of mobility like cycling [71] or walking [72]. Proper design of all these elements can result in a synergy effect improving well-being and soundscape that is perceived as pleasant.…”

Well-being and soundscape analysis should be useful in re-design works involved in the planning of recreational areas and green spaces on campuses to improve the health of students, academics, and university staff. Proper space planning, for example, in campus parks, including the planning of soundscape zones, is important in relieving study and work stress. The aim of the study was to conduct a multicriteria analysis of the soundscape and well-being of users in the university park on campus in Olsztyn (Poland). It was important to redefine thinking about the re-composition of park space, including reduction of noise and improving well-being. The research included: 1. measurements of sound pressure levels (SPL) at selected points in two periods, 2. interview with park users and preparation of a mental map, 3. experts’ opinion on soundscape and well-being, and 4. design schemes for re-design of the park. The results of research regarding the perception of the soundscape and well-being in Kortowo park by respondents differ slightly from the results of SPL measurements. The results also confirm the difference between SPL in the leafless and leafy period. The results show a clear relationship between the perception of sounds and well-being in the park. However, in some areas near the water, where higher noise levels are reported the respondents felt quite comfortable. Finally, design schemes are proposed, based on experts’ opinions and results of the analysis.

“…In addition, there are gas and smoke detectors in all rooms, classes and laboratories in order to ensure fire safety in buildings. In order to solve the air pollution problem, multifaceted scientific research projects are presented for creating a clean air space on campus (Mesquita et al, 2020;Yalciner Cal and Aydemir, 2018;Mehta et al, 2017). To ensure clean air space on campus, the use of fossil fuel vehicles needs to be reduced and instead of them, environmentfriendly vehicles need to be made prevalent.…”

The global climate change and the elements of the increasing consumption have led to the risk of emerging environmental deformation in cities. In light of these parameters, it is the matter that campuses, which are a core component of cities, are also affected. Today, universities prefer to use the Boyd Cohen Wheel to develop their campuses in terms of the sustainable environment as in cities. Because campuses are small-scale cities in terms of many ways, studies to be conducted in these areas can set a model for smart cities as well. There are also several approaches in literature and practice related to the process of conversion to smart campuses. This study aims to examine the idea of 'smart campus' and its relationship with 'smart city' by focusing on examples from Aksaray University. In this context, approaches to a sustainable environment in university campuses are discussed.
