Abstract

Universities can have significant impacts on the environment because
of their huge consumption of energy and materials. In the recent years, the
universities have been considered as role model of environmental
responsibility. Over the last decades, the leading universities could perform significant
sustainability projects in which sustainable landscaping of the campuses seems more
effective. Istanbul Technical University (ITU) could also  implemented a list of renovations and  green activities including rainwater
harvesting (rain garden); bicycle usage program; forestry, irrigation system
management, sustainable lighting, waste recycling, and green pesticide over its
main green campus. This article with use of the qualitative method of
observational analyses makes attempt to survey the green projects operated in
the landscape of Maslak campus as the main green campus of ITU. It also tries
to understand the effect theses  green activities
on improving the environmental sustainability and students’ awareness about the
issue.
