One of the biggest causes of global climate change is the rapidly growing cities in order to meet the increasing population. Due to urban sprawl and increasing automobile use in these cities; carbon footprint increases, agricultural and forest areas are destroyed, water resources, natural environment and air are polluted. This causes irreversible climate disasters. In order to learn from climate disasters and to take precautions against new disasters, studies are carried out in the context of "sustainable cities and societies" from the individual level to the national level. "Walkability" is a basic concept for ensuring sustainability in cities. Walkability is a concept that has gained importance especially with the recent Covid-19 pandemic in order to prevent the negative effects of urban sprawl, suburbanization, expanding road network and increasing vehicle ownership in cities and to provide a "pedestrian-oriented design" approach in cities. During the pandemic period, the importance of walking at every walkable distance and the necessity of designing compact cities that can be walked within 15 minutes have emerged. University campuses different functions such as work, accommodation, recreation, education, health and sports areas. Therefore, people of various profiles spend time in these areas during the day, participate in different actions and activities, and pedestrian mobility occurs within the campus. For this reason, it is important to investigate the walkability on campus campuses. In this study, it is aimed to explain that sustainable urban life can be achieved with walkability in university campuses, which are small compact living spaces with common areas.
