Politeknik Pariwisata Bali's Commitment to Pedestrian-Friendly Campus for Sustainable Cities and Communities
Politeknik Pariwisata Bali (BiTP) has taken significant steps towards promoting sustainable communities and cities in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One key area of focus has been the prioritization of pedestrians within the campus environment. This initiative reflects the institution’s commitment to creating a healthy, accessible, and eco-friendly space for its students, faculty, and staff.
The campus layout is designed to encourage walking, with pedestrian paths extending throughout the entire area. These walkways are not only functional but also designed to provide a shaded, comfortable, and tranquil atmosphere, making walking a preferred mode of movement across the campus. This effort is aimed at fostering a more active and healthy lifestyle among the campus community while reducing the dependency on motorized transportation.
In several main zones, such as the access roads leading to the lecture halls and academic buildings, motor vehicles are completely prohibited. These "pedestrians only" areas are key to maintaining a calm, focused academic environment, free from noise pollution and safety concerns associated with vehicles. Moreover, by limiting vehicle access in key areas, BiTP enhances the safety of pedestrians and contributes to a more serene and conducive learning atmosphere.
The implementation of pedestrian-focused infrastructure not only aligns with SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities but also underscores BiTP’s holistic approach to sustainability. Encouraging walking as a healthier, eco-friendly means of movement supports the institution's broader environmental goals, while also promoting a peaceful and pleasant campus experience.
Through these efforts, Politeknik Pariwisata Bali continues to set an example in fostering sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the well-being of its academic community.
