Permasalahan lingkungan yang semakin kompleks menuntut peran aktif perguruan tinggi dalam menumbuhkan kesadaran lingkungan, salah satunya melalui kebijakan Green Campus. Namun demikian, mahasiswa masih menunjukkan perilaku yang belum sepenuhnya peduli terhadap lingkungan, seperti membuang sampah sembarangan di lingkungan kampus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui implementasi kebijakan Green Campus terhadap sikap peduli lingkungan pada mahasiswa Pendidikan Geografi Universitas Syiah Kuala. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Populasi penelitian adalah mahasiswa aktif Pendidikan Geografi angkatan 2022 dan 2023 yang berjumlah 139 orang, dengan sampel sebanyak 58 responden yang ditentukan menggunakan rumus Slovin melalui teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner (angket) berskala Likert yang disebarkan secara daring, serta dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji validitas, uji reliabilitas, dan analisis persentase. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan penilaian mahasiswa menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan Green Campus di Universitas Syiah Kuala memperoleh persentase sebesar 84,81% dengan kategori sangat baik. Implementasi tertinggi terdapat pada indikator pengelolaan energi dan perubahan iklim serta pengelolaan sampah dan limbah, sedangkan indikator tata letak dan infrastruktur serta transportasi dan sarana parkir masih menunjukkan capaian yang relatif rendah. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa Pendidikan Geografi memiliki sikap peduli lingkungan yang baik, tercermin dari perilaku penghematan energi, pengelolaan sampah, pengurangan emisi karbon, perawatan lingkungan, serta pengurangan penggunaan plastik sekali pakai. Universitas Syiah Kuala diharapkan dapat terus meningkatkan implementasi kebijakan Green Campus, khususnya pada aspek infrastruktur dan transportasi ramah lingkungan.

Increasingly complex environmental problems demand an active role from higher education institutions in fostering environmental awareness, one of which is through the Green Campus policy. However, students still show behaviors that are not fully environmentally responsible, such as littering within the campus area. This study aims to determine the implementation of the Green Campus policy on environmental care attitudes among Geography Education students at Universitas Syiah Kuala. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive research type. The population consisted of 139 active Geography Education students from the 2022 and 2023 cohorts, with a sample of 58 respondents determined using the Slovin formula through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an online Likert-scale questionnaire and documentation. Data were analyzed using validity tests, reliability tests, and percentage analysis. The results based on students' assessment showed that the implementation of the Green Campus policy at Universitas Syiah Kuala reached 84.81%, categorized as very good. The highest implementation was found in the energy and climate change, as well as waste management indicators, while the setting and infrastructure, and transportation indicators showed relatively lower achievement. The results also showed that Geography Education students have a good environmental care attitude, reflected in energy-saving behavior, waste management, carbon emission reduction, environmental maintenance, and reduced use of single-use plastics. Universitas Syiah Kuala is expected to continue improving the implementation of the Green Campus policy, particularly in the aspects of infrastructure and eco-friendly transportation.
