Campus landscape could be seen as precious asset that linking people and place within the campus context. Landscape areas and spaces are crucial facets in forming to the sense of place, as well as campus’s identity. It serves as functional components on improving to the quality of campus life. It provides place for study environment as well as place for student to escape physically and emotionally from study pressures.

Campus Landscape Character Assessment is a potential planning tool to be used with an aim for the creation of sustainable campus development. Likewise, it forms a primary platform in classifying, monitoring, and understanding the rhythm of growth within campus territory. This study focused particularly in assessing UPM campus landscape on identifying its characters as well as classifying the Campus Landscape Character Types (CLCT) within the campus region.

It will be conducted based on GIS application as decision supporting tool in quantitative data. Integration of stakeholders participatory into the study on addressing the Campus Landscape Character Area (CLCA) would be another crucial input for the clarification process of distinct character from UPM context. Ultimately, it is hope that information generated through the study would encourage collaborative endeavour of local planners, designers and end users in understanding and managing to the prudent use the campus landscape resources. It would be crucial baseline information that contributes in understanding the campus community needs, as well as sensitivity and changes of campus context that have influence to the campus development.
