Abstract

To create sustainable cities, mitigating challenges such as traffic congestion, air pollution, energy depletion, and environmental degradation is imperative. A pivotal aspect of achieving this goal is the adoption of sustainable transportation modes, such as active transportation which relies on human physical power. The present study explores the incorporation of active transport as a sustainable approach to transportation issues prevalent within Assiut University, which currently faces significant deficiencies in this regard. The study explores the principles and indicators of active transport and proposes their implementation on the university campus. Using an analytical and descriptive methodology, the study conducts data collection through two primary methods: questionnaires and on-site visits. The questionnaires are designed to gather quantitative data on current transportation practices, preferences, and challenges among students and staff. Complementing this data, on-site visits offer additional clarity of the university's transportation infrastructure, providing valuable context and identify specific areas for improvement. The findings aim to generate interventions for enhancing transportation at Assiut University. Moreover, they potentially serve as a model for similar universities, thereby facilitating the creation of more sustainable environments on a broader scale.
