In this study, we discussed how can be the management hierarchy and
management process in a university campus. Erciyes University is in the
middle of the Anatolia Region that has about 60.000 population. The
university has faculty /institutional administrations and
hospital-related buildings and research centers. It has an area of about
20 m2 for each person on the campus. The university is
responsible in terms of legislative directives that are in operation.
The waste directive is published by the university in 2017 that shares
the responsibilities and distributes the tasks for each unit on the
university campus. In Turkey, zero waste projects and zero waste
legislation are also in operation by 2019. The importance of waste
management strategy is important for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
that is published by the United Nations and put in consideration of
Times Higher Education (THE) which is one of the most confidential
ranking systems for universities. There is also, environmental
assessment system for university campuses, the Green-Metric. One of the
grading subjects of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) in Turkey is
the zero waste strategy on the campus. Therefore, the operation of a
zero-waste strategy gains importance.
