In 2010, Universitas Indonesia (UI) developed the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking for universities to share information about their sustainability practices. This ranking system was well aligned with the basis of Sustainability for Higher Education. The scoring system can also be used as a guideline for universities to achieve sustainability in their campuses. Since its first launch, more universities around the world have increasingly participated in the ranking system including many universities in Thailand. This study compared perception of stakeholders in Green Campus and Non-Green Campus universities in Thailand regarding stakeholders' satisfaction on sustainability practices and perceived quality of life at their campuses. The results showed that stakeholders at the studied Green Campus University were more satisfied and had significantly better perceived quality of life compared to stakeholders from the studied Non-Green Campus university. The results suggested that universities should adopt the criteria set in the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking to achieve better sustainability in their campuses and improve quality of life of their stakeholders.
2010年，印度尼西亚大学（UI）开发了UI绿色指标世界大学排名，以便各大学分享其可持续发展实践的信息。该排名系统与高等教育可持续发展的基础高度契合。评分系统还可作为各大学在校园实现可持续发展的指导方针。自首次推出以来，全球越来越多的大学参与了该排名系统，包括泰国的许多大学。本研究比较了泰国绿色校园大学和非绿色校园大学的利益相关者对可持续发展实践的满意度以及对校园生活质量的感知。结果表明，与所研究的非绿色校园大学的利益相关者相比，所研究的绿色校园大学的利益相关者更满意，并且对生活质量的感知明显更好。结果表明，大学应采用UI绿色指标世界大学排名中设定的标准，以在校园实现更好的可持续发展，并提高其利益相关者的生活质量。
