Resumen

Los patrones de uso del suelo son vitales en los campus universitarios. El uso adecuado del suelo se considera no sólo el diseño paisajístico sino también la mejora del nivel de la universidad. El estudio reveló la percepción que tenían los estudiantes sobre el uso de la tierra en la Universidad de Ciencia y Tecnología de Patuakhali, Bangladesh. El método cuantitativo se aplicó a través de una encuesta estructurada utilizando la escala Likert entre los estudiantes de las siete facultades ubicadas en el campus principal de la universidad. Los datos recopilados se analizaron mediante métodos estadísticos apropiados. Más de la mitad de los estudiantes eligen el patio de juegos como su zona favorita, mientras que la Plaza de la Independencia fue la más baja. La reunión en el Centro de Profesores y Estudiantes (TSC) fue la zona preferida entre los diferentes motivos de su deseo. Un porcentaje notable de los estudiantes supuso que no había suficientes espacios verdes y azules y más de cuatro quintas partes de ellos respondieron que tenían espacios verdes de moderados a suficientes. Una gran parte, alrededor del 80 al 95% de los encuestados respondieron sobre su insatisfacción con la ubicación del edificio académico, el TSC y la biblioteca. También se encontraron varias recomendaciones de los estudiantes, que más de la mitad se referían al aumento de los espacios verdes para mejorar la vista estética y el equilibrio ecológico. Los estudiantes sugirieron reorganizar el dormitorio de profesores del campus principal, desarrollar instalaciones viales, separar los edificios académicos para cada facultad, inaugurar obras de arte monumentales, trasladar mercados cercanos y aumentar principalmente el área académica.
