Abstract

Sustainable development as well-known, is attached to many research fields like urban landscape. Unfortunately, the urban landscape sometimes is considered unnecessary element. For, example, on university campuses, attention is only paid to buildings while neglecting the outdoor spaces's significant role. Achieveing needs from the urban landscape on campus can help students cope with negative feelings such as stress. Many researchers proposed different scales to evaluate achievement of students' needs from the urban landscape. However, as far as we know, such scales concentrated on specific needs to measure. Accordingly, this study aims to propose an integrated scale able to evaluate achieving a combination of students' needs (physical, mental, psychological, social, place attachment) that required from the urban landscape on campus. Also, proves the relationship between lack on achieving needs on campus and negative feelings' existence. A triangulation methodology represented in literature review, field observation, and questionnaire, had been applied. As a result of 1692 valid questionnaires, the Urban Socialscape Scale-USS which consists of 38 items and divided into four subscales, was proven to be a valid and reliable tool. In conclusion, the study proved that neglecting achieving needs from the urban landscape on campus is partially responsible for students' negative feelings. The current study came consistent with sustainable development's 3rd goal which is, achieving human well-being as it concerns to acheving students needs and reduce the negative feeling impact as it pays attention to achieving students' needs to reduce the negative feelings' impact.
