Students' Perception on Campus Land Use

Patterns of land use are vital in university campuses. Proper land use is regarded not only its landscape design but also upgraded the level of the university. The study revealed the student’s perception of land use at Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh. The quantitative method was applied through a structured questionnaire survey using the Likert scale among the students of all seven faculties situated on the main campus of the university. The collected data were analyzed through appropriate statistical methods. More than half of the students choose the playground as their favourite zone, while Independence Square was the lowest. Meeting at the teacher and student center (TSC) was the most preferred zone among the different reasons for their desire. A noteworthy percentage of the students supposed that there were insufficient green and blue spaces and above four-fifths of them replied about having moderate to sufficient green spaces. A large portion, about 80 to 95% of the respondents replied about their dissatisfaction with the location of the academic, TSC, and library building. A number of recommendations also found from the students that more than half said about the increasing of green space for the enhancement of aesthetic view and ecological balance. The students suggested about the rearrangement of the teacher’s dormitory from the main campus, developing road facilities, separating academic buildings for each faculty, inaugurating monumental artwork, moving nearby markets, and increasing academic area mostly
