Ecological footprint of research university students: a pilot case study in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Ecological footprint (EF) is potential to be applied in universities to assist building management units to coordinate in order to reduce environmental impact and to achieve sustainable resource consumption from its main activities including teaching-learning, research and operations. As many Malays...
