Title: | Exploring the coverage of environmental-dimension indicators in existing campus sustainability appraisal tools | Authors: | Adenle, YA Chan, EHW Sun, Y Chau, CK |
Issue Date: | Dec-2020 | Source: | Environmental and sustainability indicators, Dec. 2020, v. 8, 100057 | Abstract: | Despite the plethora of comprehensive review of campus sustainability assessment tools, reporting, and indicators in the extant literature, studies are absent specifically on campus-wide and spatial-based indicators in existing tools. Although, several academic campuses across the globe are located on a vast area of land with multiple activities and operations associated with serious ecological consequences. This paper explores the environmental-dimension indicators with spatial and campus-wide attributes in 13 existing campus sustainability appraisal tools via coverage evaluation and the SMART approach. The findings reveal a severe absence of comprehensive coverage of spatial-based indicators and the lack of the integration of a GIS and or related spatial software in their appraisal process. The article demonstrates how integrating GIS and or other related spatial techniques and software into environmental dimension indicators with campus-wide and spatial attributes could be carried out to remedy the challenges of absence, inadequate of or restrained access to basic information for campus sustainability appraisal project in developing world. | Keywords: | Higher educational institutions GIS SMART Approach Indicators Campus sustainability assessment tools |
