| Summary: | University campuses should create peaceful and pleasant learning environment for the benefits of campus
community. The degree of transport use on-campus by both staff and student population is very important
to achieve this noble target. It has been observed in the recent past that the alarming vehicle growth in the
University would eventually not only exert tremendous pressure on the road and other traffic related
infrastructure but also induce detrimental effects on learning environment. The purpose of this paper is to
highlight the perceptions of IIUM community on existing traffic elements conditions including parking
and bicycle use in IIUM Gombak campus. Questionnaire survey was administered targeting academic,
administrative and student population on-campus. About 389 (33%) filled-in questionnaires were
collected from staffs and 775 (67%) from students. The findings on the perceptions of IIUM community
on traffic elements conditions in IIUM including parking provisions, pedestrian circulation system and
bicycle use are highlighted in this paper. Discussion on issues related to traffic flow on-campus and
conclusions are also drawn. |
