Sustainable universities campus design needs comprehensive planning that considers universities’ campus as a whole: buildings and its surrounding environment, and not segmented from the walkability point of view.
This study shows a comparative study of the old and new campuses of Sulaimani University to show the degree of social sustainability from the walkability point of view. In order a university campus design to be sustainable, the three main features of sustainability design which are (Social, environmental and economical) domains must be achieved.
Walkability is assessed according to four points that are; connectivity, accessibility, safety/security and comfort. For the limitation of the study, connectivity and accessibility criteria have been studied and assessed in both Campuses of Sulaimani University to show the social sustainability in each campus. The aim is to achieve social sustainable design from the walkability point of view in university campus as it will be necessary to evaluate present walking conditions and consider these two criteria in designing campus for improving walking condition
