Abstract :The university campus is a dynamic system in which the concept of sustainability can be applied to all the needs of the university. Universities with the \"green campus\" approach provide effective use of their resources. As part of the study, the data of the main campus of the Düzce University for 2021 was evaluated based on the UI GreenMetric Ranking. Calculations and assessments were made for the campus land cover, structural and vegetative areas. A general assessment of the entire campus was carried out using the sustainability and green campus approach with dataset. As a result, Düzce University is progressing towards the realisation of a sustainable/green campus, facilitated by the discernible impact of the survey components. The creation of a sustainable/green campus will make a difference in the province of Düzce and accelerate local development actions.
