SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SDG 11: SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
“Cities and communities must themselves be sustainable. More and more of the world’s population lives in urban centres, and this is often the home of our universities too. Cities can be places of great innovation and opportunity, but they can also be home to intense poverty and inequality. The interaction between universities and their communities, urban and rural, needs to be a positive one that can last for generations.”

Sustainable practices
The planned implications of the 2015-2020 IPB University Green Campus are described in the IPB Green Campus booklet. Green transportation and pedestrians implemented throughout 2015 to 2020 is one of four main activities carried out to achieve the goals of a green campus. The green transportation movement is carried out in the following stages:
- Electric vehicles (approximately 711 people/day).
- Bicycle use, in which IPB has 843 bicycle units with connectivity in the campus area, reaching 70% (around 78 units/day).
- Development of pedestrian paths, with connectivity reaching 80% of the total campus area. Since 2017, IPB provided two pedestrian paths;
- Development of a parking area for vehicles, which requires IPB members to cultivate walking habits, in addition to creating traffic order and security;
- Use of gas-fueled buses, wherein 2017 IPB added five BBG units in collaboration with PT Sinarmas. The natural gas-fired IPB buses are used daily by around 1,918 people/day.

IPB promotes or allows remote working for employees to reduce employee commuting as stated in IPB Official Letter No.6494/IT3/KP/2020 concerning Employee Work System during New Normal Era. IPB University has also implemented a picket (shifting) schedule. There are shifts, some are Work From Home (WFH) and some are Work From Office (WFO). Some jobs are communicated via i-letter, and social media, this can reduce the use of paper materials, photocopies, printed materials, and others. Important meetings, even lectures, and practicums are also held online. This significantly reduces energy use, not only for transportation fuel but there has been a reduction or energy savings in lighting, air conditioning, elevators, gas and water use.
As an educational institution, IPB University spends attention to the housing needs of its lecturers and employees. This commitment is shown by the availability of 106 housing units for lecturers on our campus, with a total area of 7,041,610 m2. In addition, IPB University also provides a unit lecturer dormitory on Jl Veteran No 60 Bogor; on Jl Kartini Bogor; and around IPB Baranangsiang Campus, Jl Andi Hakim Nasoetion Bogor. For every lecturer and employee who is in need, IPB University gave a permit to the employee and lecturer to use this housing.
IPB University has 10 building dormitories, which include 4 male student dormitories and 6 female student dormitories. Both dormitories are able to accommodate 4000 new students.
For the first year, they are required to live in a dormitory at a very low cost. IPB University also provides dormitories for foreign students and guests. This International Dormitory has 44 rooms that can accommodate 44 students. This hostel is located on the Darmaga campus. As an educational Institution, IPB also has a Guest House located on the armada Campus. These dormitory and guest house facilities make it easy and comfortable for IPB students and guests. IPB University, in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower and Public Housing in 2014 and 2017, has built two units of Student Flats (Rusunawa) (page 19).
Pedestrians are available within 80% of the entire campus area, and since 2017 new pedestrian paths were provided around the Graha Widya Wisuda building and the Faculty of Agriculture. In Green Campus Policy page 88, paragraph 1, “Jaringan Jalan”, IPB clearly mentioned that IPB must provide accessible pedestrian paths for its users.
Realizing IPB University Green Campus, IPB Rector Decree No. 24/IT3/LK/2015 was released concerning Restrictions on the Use of Road and Park Vehicles at the ramada IPB Campus, Bogor (article 2, page 2). Green transportation planning should be preceded by infrastructure and then facilities. The simplest thing is starting with the socialization of IPB by making improvements to the infrastructure, adding the length of the pedestrian track and cycling line from one point of the room to another.
As an educational institution, IPB University has research institutions. One of them is the Center for Regional Systems Analysis, Planning, and Development (CrestPent). Through CrestPent, several issues were discussed in the meeting regarding the regional development concept approach in the preparation of the RPKP. This activity is a follow-up activity from the previous year in collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Affairs in 5 districts in 2018 and continued with the preparation of 6 (six) RPKP documents in 6 districts. Several important things that need to be considered in preparing the RPKP are that the development of rural areas is oriented towards growth and equity. Growth can be approached with a regional economic development approach while equity can be realized through development oriented to people economic development.
IPB University, in its development towards a green campus, in collaboration with the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI), has prepared old and new buildings based on environmentally friendly, low carbon, and producing oxygen.
IPB University has historical value buildings that have been preserved to this day:
- IPB is part of the Taman Kencana area, Bogor, with IPB Science Techno Park decoration. Historically, the Taman Kencana area is one of the Dutch colonial government’s legacies since colonial times. Taman Kencana initially functioned as a residence for Dutch royalty, with typical Dutch house architecture. Several buildings that have been established since the Dutch colonial era have been preserved, including part of the IPB Science Techno Park property.
- One of the IPB campus locations is on the IPB Baranangsiang Bogor Campus, which is one of the cultural heritage areas of Bogor. Historically, the building, which currently functions as the IPB Baranangsiang Campus, was founded in 1952, and the establishment of the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) began in 1963. The groundbreaking of the building was carried out by the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno, on April 27, 1952.
