Tracking ‘eco’ footprint in university web pages

Abstract - Higher education institutions (HEIs) in less developed countries such as Indonesia might start taking the initiative to create plans for incorporating sustainability and environmental literacy in teaching, research, operations and outreach. However, the portrait of the campus sustainability initiatives among HEIs are not much explored. This paper fills the gap by investigating campus sustainability (eco- campus) activities from university web content. The sampling frame is HEIs accredited “A” by the Directorate General of Higher Education, and the selected samples are 4 HEIs located in Surabaya. A series of steps are performed to reveal eco campus related contents. The findings indicate that the majority of contents are student theses and published scientific papers; quite minimum are contents on eco-campus operation and engagement.
