Today, we decided to have a tour to the KAED Gallery. It showcases exceptional and outstanding works by prior KAED students. What stood out to me was how these works embodied the principles of sustainable development. Urban planning goes beyond designing cities—it’s about creating livable, functional, and eco-friendly spaces. The creative solutions showcased in the gallery highlighted the vital role urban planners play in promoting sustainability, from enhancing walkability and managing green spaces to designing efficient public transport systems.

While reflecting on the trip, we realized how the KAED Gallery aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

1. SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
The urban planning projects displayed in the gallery were excellent examples of how cities can be designed to be more livable, inclusive, and environmentally friendly. Many projects focused on aspects like efficient land use, walkability, green spaces, and public transportation—all key elements in creating sustainable cities. It was clear that our department prioritizes designs that balance development with the well-being of people and the planet.

2. SDG 4: Quality Education
The gallery itself reflects the high standard of education provided at KAED. It showcases the creativity, technical skills, and critical thinking nurtured by the faculty, which equips students to address real-world challenges. By promoting innovative and sustainable solutions, KAED plays a significant role in producing graduates who are well-prepared to contribute to global sustainability efforts. The gallery reminded me that education isn’t just about learning theories; it’s about applying knowledge to create a positive impact.

3. SDG 13: Climate Action
Some of the projects displayed emphasized the importance of addressing climate challenges through urban design. Whether it was about incorporating renewable energy systems, improving green infrastructure, or reducing carbon footprints through smart city planning, the ideas reflected a deep understanding of the urgency of climate action. These designs showed how urban planners can play a critical role in mitigating environmental issues while building resilient communities.

Overall, the KAED Gallery reflects the university’s commitment to sustainability through education and innovation. It reminded me to approach my own work with the same spirit of creativity and responsibility, knowing that every idea and design holds the potential to make a real difference.

Our group has chosen the Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Science as our location to write about the actions taken by the university regarding sustainability. Above are the pictures of our exploration. By having many mini gardens throughout the campus, the university manages to:

- Raise student’s awareness

Economic department is surrounded with mini gardens that play a significant role in increasing students' awareness of environmental and sustainability issues, aligning closely with sustainable practices and goals in SDG 13: Climate change. Because gardens absorb carbon dioxide, reduce the campus's carbon footprint and reduce climate change. Moreover, students who engage with botanic gardens are more likely to adopt sustainable habits, such as reducing waste or supporting reforestation initiatives, contributing to broader climate action goals.

- Encouraging the Students

After a long day full of classes and bunch of assignments  , students really need to wind up a bit. The garden full of green and water sound from the river inside IIUM really helps to calm down our tired minds and body. The air that rich with oxygen ,we know how refreshing it could be. This situation can be related to SDG 15, Life on Land ,since it promotes the nourishment of land life. It entails managing forests sustainably in order to preserve, repair, and enhance land ecosystems. We must take better care of terrestrial  ecosystems since many species are under danger and biodiversity is getting worse. Hence , the garden that is being grown, is really an excellent idea from our university to play the role in encouraging the students to always practice and support the sustainability development, in order to protect our world.

- Promotes Intergenerational Responsibility

IIUM's action in making sure that each locations have greens increases the sense of responsibility in students, lecturers and staffs. This is because we can visually see and understand the importance of the actions taken to sustain the SDG 13: Climate Action and how it applies to everyone. Thus, this university-led action will promote the younger generations to maintain and add more actions that can be done to sustain the climate of our earth.

SDG 2 : ZERO HUNGER

Bachelor of Education Students' Association has taken a huge action to reduce zero hunger for the students. They provide breakfast distribution at the morning so that the students enter the class without hunger. There are 3 lessons that we can get from this initiative

1. The Impact of Hunger on Learning
Hunger affects students’ ability to focus, learn, and succeed in school. This lesson shows future educators why it’s important for students to have proper nutrition. Educators can learn to recognize signs of hunger and support programs like school meals that help students focus and thrive.

2. Teaching Sustainable Food Practices
Educators can introduce students to topics like gardening, healthy eating, and reducing food waste. These lessons help students understand how they can make choices that reduce hunger in the world, building lifelong habits that promote sustainability.

3. Encouraging Community Involvement
Fighting hunger requires the whole community. Educators can encourage students to participate in food drives, volunteer at food banks, or start community gardens. This lesson helps students see how working together can make a real difference in reducing hunger locally and globally.

1) Great facilities in classroom: In each classroom, there are projector, computer, speakers, whiteboard, microphone, air conditioners, and as simple as tables and chairs. Our university offers convenient access for students to gain knowledge comfortably. Thus, we as a student should appreciate these blessings and use it wisely; by using it to its maximum capacity and study well. This relates with SDG 4; Quality Education, promoting opportunities to seek knowledge no matter the age and level of study. To touch the sentimental motto of UIA; nurturing good Khalifah for the Ummah, we shall not take this opportunity for granted and always seek the best with pure intention.

2) The iconic chair of UIA: We saw the table in the Sejahtera Gallery and we have some insights on the history of the wooden chair plus table. This chair is one of the image of UIA sustainability; the chair is widely being used in the campus and only available in UIA. The chair is convenient too, multipurpose for an instant class. Despite the material, the wood is very durable and solid strong. Almost all of the chairs have no scratch or damage, which is surprising. Hopefully, students can continue to sustain the iconic furniture by utilising it properly.

3) The classroom itself is also a public facility of the university that contributes to sustainable development. With the existence of the classroom, it is easier for the lesson session to take place and thus the teacher can teach easily and the students can get a suitable place to gain knowledge. In fact, it can also be a place to discuss with each other about global issues with its individual actions, from different perspectives and backgrounds.

Aside from that, university is a place of formal learning. Therefore, classroom is the main facility of UIA which needs to be maintained in quality to facilitate the learning process to proceed smoothly.

Alhamdullilah, today our group visited the Sejahtera Centre for Sustainability and Humanity. We chose this location because this is the heart of all sustainable development efforts in our campus! Without this centre, maybe the dissemination of how important the Sejahtera concept and sustainable development could be lagged. This centre also reflects the role of the university in taking the forefront role of implementation and application of Sustainable Development in IIUM as a whole (related to SDG 16: Good governance)

3. ⁠Farah Fadlina binti Azwari (2214690)

4. ⁠Nurul Syafiqah Amalin binti Ruhazman (2019066)

1. The first meaningful lesson that we learned is the efforts the Sejahtera Center put in raising awareness on sustainable developments. This is important for the community in IIUM to learn more about the university's sustainability policy, related SDGs and their efforts in achieving sustainable goals. The extensvie information as well as QR code link to get further information provided on display shows their commitment in creating sustainable futures and preparing students to become responsible citizens.

2. ⁠The second lesson we learned highlights the powerful role of education in advancing sustainable development. At the Sejahtera Centre, we saw how IIUM integrates sustainability into its curriculum, co-curricular activities, and campus life to encourage students to think critically about their social and environmental responsibilities. By embedding sustainability across academic disciplines, IIUM doesn’t just teach about sustainability in theory; it promotes practical application through various programs, projects, and awareness initiatives.

3. ⁠The third lesson reflects that collaboration beyond borders can actually strengthen the sustainability efforts. IIUM works with organizations like UNESCO & RCE Greater Gombak really help to promote sustainability not only for the students/lecturers/staffs inside the university but also for the public. These collaborations connect IIUM’s efforts with global goals & allowing idea sharing while creating solutions. This shows how working together with others, locally or internationally, can make university initiatives more effective in supporting sustainability.

Here are some of Sustainable Development we had found around HS Cafe:

1. In HS dry, it is observed that a ramp is provided for people with disabilities. Having access to a ramp is part of SDG 10; Reduced Inequalities. Providing the ramps ensures that people with disabilities, the elderly, and others with mobility challenges can access public spaces equally. This contributes to reducing social inequalities and promoting inclusivity. Apart from that, it also showcases SDG 11; Sustainable Cities and Communities. This is because ramps are an integral part of making cities and communities more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable. By ensuring that public spaces are accessible to all, ramps help build communities that are safer, and more unbiased.

2. As we can see from the poster, there are three main reminders:

1) Organize food waste and trash wisely at the provided place.

2) Ensure the sinks are clean and unclogged.

3) Leave tables, chairs, and surrounding areas tidy.

• Underneath these points, there’s a tagline, "CLEANING IS OUR AMANAH" (meaning trust or responsibility), appealing to a sense of shared duty within IIUM communities.

• There is also an additional image which encourage sorting waste and keeping the area organized, accompanied by symbols of people cleaning.

At the bottom of the first poster, there is a simple reminder to "PLEASE SWITCH OFF THE FAN WHEN NOT IN USE".

The poster includes an image of a hand near a switch, likely to encourage users to take immediate action by turning off the fan when leaving the area.

Together, these posters emphasize cleanliness and responsible use of shared spaces and resources, promoting both hygiene and energy conservation which aligned with SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation and SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy.

3. In HS dry, there are plenty of options of food at an affordable price. For example, we ordered curry mee, ais kepal and cendol pulut. These foods are cheap considering the portion and taste. Access to affordable food plays a crucial role in the fight against poverty, aligning with SDG 1. When nutritious food is available at low cost, it enables those who came from B40 families to meet their dietary needs without sacrificing other essential expenses, such as healthcare and education. Hence, affordable food could also reduce the financial burden. With that, we think that IIUM played a good part in ensuring that every student would be able to buy food.

4. The recycling bins at the HS Cafe serve as a simple yet impactful feature that aligns with sustainable development goals SDG 12 supporting responsible consumption and production and the university's mission to promote environmental responsibility. The presence of clearly labeled recycling bins encourages students to sort their waste into recyclable and non-recyclable items, aligning with SDG 12. This practice reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. The bins serve as a constant reminder of responsible consumption, teaching students the importance of minimizing waste and promoting recycling as part of their daily lives. The recycling bins at Hs Cafe highlight how even small actions contribute to larger sustainability goals.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

For today class activity, we went to several spots at Kulliyyah of Education to explore some Sustainable Development around the kulliyyah.

Below are some Sustainable Development we had found around the kulliyyahs:

1. IIUM Sejahtera Clinic

Opening an IIUM Sejahtera Clinic is crucial for the sake of student's health while studying in the university. The IIUM clinic can treats any kind of diseases suffered by students and gives their best services to cure the students with complete tools and good medicine. This relates with SDG 3- Good Health and Wellbeing where the university need to ensure health and well-being of it's students because it is a responsibility of the university to maintain a good health among it's students.

We also photographed the garden in front of the kuliyyah education center and placed it under the 15th SGD, which is life on land.

2. Lift

We also went to look around the buildings and visited Kulliyyah of Education. As we walked through the hallways we observed some facilities that we thought are very well-prepared, which is, considering that there surely are students who suffer from various forms of disabilities, they may face some struggles in their daily lives that are not experienced by normal students, mainly difficulties to move from one place to another.

So we discovered elevators, and they are placed at various locations in the building that are accessible for the students. As we know, students who have to use the wheelchair, and those who are vision-impaired, and several more, often encounter problems in moving between places with ease, thus, it is such a thoughtful act that IIUM takes the initiative of providing facilities that will benefit disabled students too, especially those who have to use the wheelchair to move from floors to floors in the buildings. These disabled-friendly facilities will surely ease the mobility for the special-needs students, making IIUM a university that succeeds in striving for SDG Goal 10 - Reduce Inequalities.

3. Green For All

As we roaming around the kulliyyah, we found a beautiful mini garden infront of the IIUM Sejahtera Clinic. This plantation infront of the clinic can create equitable and sustainable future for everyone. However, green spaces are not only beneficial to people but also vital for the environment. As we all know, growing plants helps to absorb carbon dioxide from the air while also lessening the influence of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, which can help to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Pollutant gasses can also be filtered and decreased using natural technologies in the plant itself. Cultivating these plants highlights the need of biodiversity protection and restoration, while also acknowledging the critical function of healthy ecosystems in supporting life and delivering a variety of key services like as clean air and water and climate control. This sustainable development goals fall under the SDG 15- Life on Land.

Our group chose to present the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Mosque, which is here at IIUM Gombak, reflecting on campus sustainable development. A community space, minimalism, and education further a concept that will indicate how the mosque aligns with the university commitment to sustainability.

1. Social Cohesion: Community Spaces

The mosque builds social relationships among students through the congregational nature of worship, thereby bringing them together in a tranquil atmosphere where mutual support may be fostered among them. This social space acts as an enhancer of social sustainability by fostering mental well-being and coherence.

2. Modest Consumption

The modest nature of the design at the mosque instills modesty in consumption and judicious use of resources, thus serving as a model for responsible consumption. Thereby, it encourages students toward engaging with sustainable behavior to minimize waste.

3. Encouraging Lifelong Learning

With the availability of facilities for education, the mosque supports lifelong learning. This is in conjunction with the mission of the university to develop responsible people for sustainable development.

FINAL REFLECTION

The SHAS Mosque illustrates one way university spaces can contribute more broadly to sustainable development. It instills values into the students through community support, modest consumption, and lifelong learning that guide and steer them towards a sustainable future.

University of IIUM has done lots of awareness as university’s roles in promoting sustainability. One of their effort around the mahallah is put a reminder to switch off the lights and plugs before student leave their room. Other than that, they also put the same sign around the toilet, so that student will keep remember to not waste water and electricity.

Next, because the rubbish bins are easy to access, students and staffs can easily throwing their rubbish. The implication is the kuliyyah will have a clean environment and bearable smell which can avoid any negative health possibilities occur.

Lastly, the sign of crosswalk with yellow color and lots of ‘Persons with Disabilities’ signs near the crosswalk. This is to remind all vehicle users that our university has the disability persons and keep aware if they’re crossing the road. The impact of this effort will keep the safety around the university by avoiding any accident issues.

1. First of all we'd like to say that the SCSH class itself is one of the way the university get to channel us about sustaibility whereby learning for sustainability nurtures the soul. It nurtures the soul as it we get to embrace Allah's creation in regard to understand not just the human's rational soul but also the vegetitive and animal soul. This pond is an evidence to whereby the students and the class have tried to achieve this goal.

2. Secondly, the tables and chairs that are made from the high quality woods ensure the longitivity of the product and environment friendly, without having to use plastic. This chair have been used in the operation and governance of IIUM from generation to generation. It shows sustainabilty because it last for generations and it is reusable, therefore no more spending towards this product.

3. Lastly, the graduation robe has been used repeatedly as a symbol of success in not just education but also reaching towards the highest level of intellectual and virtues. It is aligned with IIUM's vision and mission to become beacons of sustainability. Also it proves the university's song called LEADING THE WAYs have tried to achieve this goal.

SDG 10 : Reduce Inequalities in IIUM through Disability Service Unit.

Disability Service Unit is the location that our group has selected. This site demonstrates IIUM's attempt to represent the Sustainable Development Goals that the United Nations has put forth. This site visit at DSU has taught us some significant lessons. Check out our informative lessons below!

1. IIUM's Disability Services Unit promotes social courtesy by managing and supporting student affairs especially those with disabilities, to participate and take on leadership roles in university life. Previously, a talk was held in ICC regarding DSU to highlight the importance of inclusion. This helps reduce inequality, promote diversity, and strengthen teamwork for a sustainable future.

2. The disability services unit aligns with SDG 10, which is to reduce inequalities. IIUM is one of the few universities in Malaysia that encourages the enrollment of disabled students in public universities. One of the photos that we've managed to take creatively in front of the mural is a good effort to create awareness regarding the disabled students through the visual representation of them. The well-depicted mural is significant for the university's effort to spread awareness regarding inclusivity and representation of disabled students.

3. This unit also provides infrastructure and space planning that meant to accommodate disabled students, be it mental or physical disability. During our visit, we saw ample mental stimulation toys that are placed on the front desk that helps students to relax. Near the office, there’s also tactile pavement to assist students and stuff with impaired vision. Hence, it shows that the unit is progressively putting effort into instilling inclusivity as part of our university culture, while concurrently bridging the gap of inequality among disabled students
