| Abstrak/Abstract |
Higher education in Indonesia, particularly Yogyakarta as City of Education, is continuously growing. Babarsari is one of higher education area with rapid growth and development in Yogyakarta. This area is surrounded by several universities which then form the agglomeration of higher education area. The influence of new activities as a growth pole like this educational activity has led to rapid change on land use and people's activity. This encourages the potential for high daily movement, especially the movement of students who are the dominant actors in this area. The majority of students are live near the university. However, this not lead to higher use of sustainable modes in this area. This paper tried to reveal the connection between accessibility and travel behaviour in university area. By using samples from three universities in this area (Atma Jaya University, STTNAS Yogyakarta, and UPN Veteran Yogyakarta), result shows that living in university surrounded area did not ensure students to have sustainable travel behaviour, particularly for their campus travel. The lack of non-motorized transport facilities is indicated as the main barrier for students to travel in more sustainable way. |
