摘要:There is a growing concern among Malaysian higher learning institutions of environmental threats to sustainable development and their implications on national economic growth and social justice. This has prompted some university to promote the cause of sustainable development by practising environmental conservation around the campus to make it sustainable. The objective of this article was to analyse the stokeholders' network in realising the goal of campus ecological conservation and modernisation in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The findings showed that government-university network would lead to a sustainable campus through environmental reformation which involved the application of science and technology in environmental decision making programmes. The UKM university-society network showed the functional existence of communal cooperation in running the 'Zero Waste' and 'Pusat Kitar Semula' (Recycle) programmes comparable to the government-society network which established clubs or environmental associations such as the 'Zero Waste' and 'I Love My Ecosystem'. This is a tribute to the approach UKM had taken in campus environmental management which was not ecological-centric but embraced various campus social and community aspects including welfare, health and administration
