This research report examines infrastructure strategies to increase the bicycle commute mode share. By analyzing existing conditions and results from on-campus participatory events, recommendations to improve and increase bicycling at the University of Texas at Austin campus are proposed. This report includes a literature review of sustainable transportation and university campuses, bicycle infrastructure best practices, bicyclist route preferences, evaluations of bicycle infrastructure, the role of bicycling in past master plans at the UT-Austin campus, and bicycling in other university’s plans. Existing conditions analyze the characteristics of streets in and around campus and data from the Bike-UT survey is discussed. Participatory research events are described and their findings analyzed to better understand how current bicyclists perceive spaces on campus and make their route choices. Finally, considering best practices, existing conditions, and findings from campus research events, recommendations are proposed to increase the bicycle mode share on the UT-Austin campus. / text

The creation of an optimum environment to support educational goals is important to the success of a university. North Sumatera University (NSU) was born and grew for three decades without having been designed and controlled by a planning process. As a result it became a state university that: does not have a strong sense of identity; does not have a well-planned circulation system for pedestrian and vehicular traffic; does not have a coherent orderly, relaxing environment for those who work and study within it.In 1984 The minister of Education chose the university to become a pilot project for the development of universities in the west part of Indonesia. The university hired an architectural consultant (for whom the researcher worked as junior architect) to develop a master plan. The master plan was completed and approved in 1986. However, it is the opinion of the researcher that the proposed master plan is weak in addressing critical issue relating to landscaping, public areas, circulation system, organization of the campus facilities, and social relevance to the local communities.The North Sumatera University is located on the second biggest island in the country. NSU represents the National government's attempt to decentralize the education system from only the central province to the western and eastern areas. Most of the senior high school students from both provinces seeking college education are choosing prestigiousuniversities, currently in the central provinces. The goal of this creative project project was to illustrate opportunities for NSU to develop into a prestigious institution. Through creative and approriate re-design of the campus NSU can develop an attractive character and support strong ties with the community of Medan. This creative project redeveloped a comprehensive master plan for North Sumatera University, illustrated potential site design development and as well addressed possible concepts of campus management. / Department of Landscape Architecture
