Proposed Sustainable Event Strategy in Widyatama Campus Environment in Supporting the Eco Campus Program

Abstract

The growth of various events held on campus often raises concerns about the impact it will
have. In addition to the positive impacts, the organization of the event is said to have negative
impacts such as the environment with excessive waste production which leads to the
implications of using large amounts of energy. The best solution is to implement the concept of
sustainability in all aspects, such as combining the principle of sustainability in organizing
events within the campus environment. This study aims to formulate a proposed strategy for
organizing events with the concept of sustainability events in the Widyatama campus
environment. In this research, identification of the level of Eco Campus, the level of
environmental awareness and several activities that need to be implemented to create an event
that has a concept of sustainability is carried out. Respondents have been said to be enough to
calculate Solvin's sample of 97% confidence level which is 126. As many as 53% of respondents
know recognize the concept of organizing sustainable events and expressed quite optimistic in
the successful implementation of the eco campus program through organizing sustainable
events both large and small scale. Respondents assessed that the Eco Campus program being
run received a scale of 3 out of 5. It was said Eco Campus if the campus environment was
green, comfortable and shady and began to be implemented in every event in the Widyatama
campus environment. The strategy that can be proposed is to develop environmentally friendly
technology on campus, make event planning with the concept of sustainable events.
Stakeholders who are fully responsible for the implementation of sustainable events include
students, employees, management and lecturers as well as bureaus associated with organizing
an event in the Widyatama campus environment as one step towards Eco Campus.
