Abstract

This paper presents the experience of the Water Warriors Living Lab, a bottom-up sustainable campus action research initiative in applying the integrated ‘Heartware - Hardware – Software’ approach for water management at the University of Malaya since the year 2013. It advances the proposition that a heartware approach is needed to enhance campus sustainability efforts, in addition to the more strategic hardware and software approaches. The paper describes how the Water Warrior’s experience in applying the heartware approach has been a strengthening factor in resolving water conservation issues at the university (specifically in lake management), and discusses important lessons learned to date. Our theoretical and empirical insights can hopefully provide renewed appreciation on how local, organic and humanistic factors can be essential ingredients for the long term ‘sustainability’ of campus sustainability efforts.Keyword: Campus sustainability, living lab, water management, heartware, bottom-up

Abstract

Growing actions on putting into practice the policy for improving sustainable development gives universities great variety of opportunities on implementation of different ‘green’ technologies in their campuses. Campus greening is the first step towards sustainability. The purpose of this article is to present existing approaches on the categories of sustainable campus initiatives, their significance for complete region development and the state of the environment. On the example of the inner garden of Volgograd State University, the authors describe the importance of greening the external campus sites for minimization of the negative environmental and health affects for students and faculty staff. The green initiative reflects the institution’s function as center of technological and social regional development. The green garden can reduce stress and also provide an esthetic sense by involving attractive surroundings. The impact of climatic zone on emerging of appropriate management and maintenance systems, meaningful comparison with the past landscape solutions are also reviewed in the present article. By implementing green technologies, the university shows its prudence and readiness to behave responsibly, sensibly and maturely in response to sustainability issues of the present and the future.

Abstract

Portable water is an essential resource for living, currently there is enough water in the world for this, but its distribution is not adequate in different places or at different seasons of the year. Climatic variations affect the water supply capacity generate economic, social and environmental problems. The commitment of Universidad Del Norte with the environment and its transversally in its missionary functions of teaching, research, and extension crystallize in academic and administrative strategies, complying not only with environmental legislation, but also management with criteria of resource efficiency (Water, energy, air, waste, fauna and flora) promoting environmental education, conservation, respect for nature and long-term sustainability. The foregoing derives from the responsibility that Universidad Del Norte has had with the community in creating a PUEAA - Plan for the efficient use and saving of water, which describes the strategies aimed at the conservation and use of water resources. The following article describes the strategies that the Universidad Del Norte carries out to have a continuous supply of water, guarantee the quality of drinking water for its consumption processes, treat all wastewater resulting from its processes, and finally reuse all water that is finally use in campus gardens.

Abstract

When adopting the zero waste strategy for the implementation of waste management measures at a Higher Education Institution, the commitment in the institution is of fundamental importance, not only with solid waste, but with the sustainability issue under a circular economy perspective, which should gradually be incorporated to the different programs and routine actions from universities. Several directions can be taken in the construction of this path so that universities are managed under the sustainability’s premises. In this article, the zero waste strategy for implementation of a circular economy program will be analyzed as a way to consolidate the process Green Campus. A qualitative and exploratory research was undertaken on green campus and zero waste strategies, mainly in universities. Although there is still a limited number of universities committed to zero waste actions, it was possible to appoint the benefits when implementing institutional programs related to sustainability and the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

Proactive use of renewable energy is required to create a sustainable energy society, which is related to the various goals of the SDGs such as SDG7 on energy, SDG13 on climate action and SDG12 on responsible consumption and production. Addressing the energy issue as a university is significant in two ways. First, universities can influence other entities, such as businesses, local governments etc. Second, universities have a mission to educate students who can transform society into a sustainable one. In a press release of 2014, I announced the intention of making CUC the first 100% renewable energy university in Japan, which was a voluntary action. After becoming the president in 2017, this became an official project of the university, enabling investment in the necessary facilities. From the experience of having achieved our goal, I will explain the factors leading to our success and the lessons applicable to other universities.Keyword: SDGs, responsible university, zero carbon campus, renewable energy, heart-ware

Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has considerably and negatively affected the global community. To restrain the transmission of viruses, a restricted mobility has been highly imposed across the world and Uzbekistan as well. Our paper which responds to one of the directions of UI GreenMetric University Rankings provides a novel dataset on attitude-behaviors and personal perceptions of university students and academic staff in the term of transportation collected after the severe quarantine regime within the COVID-19 outbreak in Uzbekistan. We formulated a questionnaire design hinged on employing qualitative virtual interview and a short survey with students and university staff, estimating the sensitivity toward the potential crisis in crucially deciding on daily routines with restricted transportation and future mobility modes in the company of an urgent health concern. An online survey was distributed through Internet platforms such as Telegram within the period April-May 2020, with a total of 600 students, while a Zoom interview was organized for 50 of academic staff of Tashkent State Agrarian University. Our dataset comprises 362 out of 600 valid and full responses from students. Our survey was split into two sections. The first one has characterized the using frequency of all transportation modes before and after restricting the mobility, whereas the second section has considered potential risks of contracting COVID-19 from multi-modal transportation and potential effectiveness of travel mitigation measures. In general, the dataset was conveniently used to quantify and investigate students’ and staff’s attitude behavior towards traveling options and modal shifts due to COVID-19. Aligning with descriptive statistics, our paper also shares the results of possible explanatory emission calculations in transportation, serving as a reasonable reference for future studies during the pandemic.Keyword: Multimodal transportation, attitude-behavior, COVID-19, questionnaire, interview, emission, Uzbekistan

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on many countries in early 2020 after the first case was reported in China at the end of 2019. Malaysia was not spared either and the Government was forced to take a bold yet drastic measure in implementing the Movement Control Order (MCO) in earnest on 18 March 2020. The measure, akin to a lockdown, practically forced all forms of socio-economics and socio-educational activities to come to an abrupt stop. Schools, institutions of higher learning and training centers were directed to close its doors to students. Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) had to abruptly implement contingency plans in the wake of the negative impact brought about by the pandemic. Almost all academic activities had to be reorganized when majority of the students opted to return to the safety of their home environment, and the staff were required to work from home in compliant with the MCO. This development necessitated the University to introduce the remote learning mode in place of the traditional face to face learning and teaching (T&L). Various other strategies and measures were also introduced by the University which required reprioritization of tasks and determining possible risks that could impede normal daily operations. UUM opted for a holistic approach to address the impending concerns and to ensure the continuity of the education process and to address the wellbeing of its staff who are forced to work from home.

Abstract

The implementation of innovations and technologies to decrease carbon emission is one of the main priorities that the University of Szeged is striving to achieve. Although, effective investments cannot be carried out without proper measurement systems in energy management and carbon emission monitoring. Understanding the importance of proper measurement, the University of Szeged has decided to calculate the whole carbon footprint of one of its main buildings, namely, the Study and Information Centre with the help of KÖVET association. The carbon evaluation uses data of 2019 and contains the direct and indirect carbon emission of building management, and of its employees’ and visitors’. This calculation will be the basis of further carbon reduction investments, protocols and events held for shaping the visitors’ and employees’ consciousness. In parallel with the evaluation, the University of Szeged has made some huge steps to decrease carbon emission factors. For instance, a newly installed visitor monitoring system regulates the electricity usage of ventilation in the most used areas of the Study and Information Centre based on the actual number of visitors present in the building. Furthermore, from April 2020, five electric cars substitute the most driven cars of the University in urban areas, rapidly decreasing the direct carbon emission in the city.
