“…Based on the standardised path coefficients of the structural model, ambiance is found as the most vital predictor of students' satisfaction of food services at the university cafeteria. This finding is in coherence with the existing works of (20,36,46) and (35). Students were very much in agreement that there was adequate seating in their cafeteria, and that these seats were comfortable.…”

This research investigated the effect of food quality, price fairness, staff performance, and ambience on students’ satisfaction of cafeteria food services by comparing responses from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Malaysia with Mercu Buana University (MBU), Indonesia. Data was analysed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) application in SmartPLS computer software version 2.0. Path coefficients from PLS results revealed ambience as the most significant predictor of students’ satisfaction of food services at the university cafeteria in both UMS and MBU settings, followed by aspects of staff performance and food quality. It is imperative for university cafeteria operators at both sites to uplift students’ satisfaction of food services at their cafeterias by enhancing ambiance such as installing decorations that project a warm and cosy environment. The result of these findings could be utilised as guidelines for the respective university management to incorporate elements that could improve food services in their cafeterias thus increasing the satisfaction of their users (students).

“…Similar outcome was found by Munir, Tharim, Mohd and Said [9] where hostel is the most favourite informal learning space on campus followed by campus cafeteria. Although hostel was not included in the choices, study by Ibrahim and Fadzil [7] shown a slightly different scenario where students preferred and frequently used cafeteria as the spot for learning activities followed by the university library.…”

“…Although there are numerous studies on informal learning setting in Malaysia (e.g. [7][8][9], there is still a lack of understanding of student's preferences particularly from learners' perspective. Therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate the choice and usage of informal learning space among students' in relation to their learning activities.…”

The increased popularity of collaborative and problem-based learning has changed the learning landscape where the process need not be conducted solely in the classroom. With the changes in teaching pedagogy and increased demand for independence from learners, informal learning spaces aside from the library has become increasingly importance. Despite evolution in higher education learning, most university buildings are deemed to be unsuitable to accommodate diversifying needs of learners. In addition, students' voice is often neglected in designing learning spaces. This study investigated the choice and usage of informal learning space among students' in relation to their learning activities. Survey outcome revealed that the most preferable learning space is hostel, followed by academic building and library. Furthermore, hostel is an ideal study space for students who work best in quiet, closed conditions, both individually and collaboratively. In terms of learning space attributes, comfortability (physical dimension) appeared as the dominant factor, followed by autonomy or control (social dimension) and availability of ICT facilities (physical dimension). The outcome of survey provides guidelines for focus group studies, which leads to a practical guide and a design layout for redeveloping or redesigning informal learning spaces in the campus.

“…Yliopisto-opiskelijalle kampuksella sijaitsevat epämuodolliset tilat ja paikat ovat olennaisia, sillä hän kulkee niissä päivittäin. Tarve lisätä informaalia oppimista kampuksilla on tullut esille useissa aiemmissa tutkimuksissa (Ibrahim & Fadzil 2013;Poutanen 2015, 376;Temple 2008, 238).…”

Yliopistokampukset ovat monitoimijaisia ja alati muuttuvia opiskelu-, työ-, asuin- ja harrastusympäristöjä. Niiden muutosprosessi on sidoksissa yliopistojen yhteiskunnallisiin kytkentöihin sekä kaupungin laajenemiseen, tiivistymiseen ja urbanisoitumiseen. Artikkelissa nostetaan keskusteluun yliopistokampus osana ympäröivää kaupunkirakennetta ja julkisena urbaanina tilana, joka voi edistää informaalia oppimista. Esitämme, että on olemassa ainakin Suomessa yleinen yliopistokampustyyppi, jonka kaupungistumisprosessi on kaupunkirakenteellisessa ja toiminnallisessa mielessä vasta alkuvaiheessa. Kutsumme sitä urbanisoituvaksi yliopistokampukseksi. Sitä edustavat artikkelissa käsitellyt Joensuun, Jyväskylän, Tampereen, Turun ja Vaasan keskustojen kampukset. Ne sijaitsevat alueensa keskuskaupungeissa varsin keskeisellä paikalla kaupunkikeskustan ruutukaava-alueen tuntumassa, mutta silti niiden ongelmana on toiminnan hiljeneminen opiskeluaikojen ulkopuolella. Urbanisoitumiseen kytkeytyvien ilmiöiden avulla on mahdollista elävöittää kampusalueen toimintoja ja ympäristöä ja samalla luoda edellytyksiä informaalille oppimiselle. Artikkelissa elävöittämistä pohditaan erityisesti kaupunkirakenteen tiivistymisen, kampusalueen käyttötarkoitusten monipuolistumisen ja puistomaisten viheralueiden kannalta.
