SDG11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
AAUP sets a model for a sustainable community through its expansive green areas on its campuses. These areas are designed to promote walking, ensuring that the farthest distance between any two buildings is no more than a 10-minute walk – equivalent to the break time between successive lectures. Well-built sidewalks connect different parts of the campuses, meandering through refreshing green landscapes, encouraging hiking, and fostering a connection with nature.
Furthermore, AAUP has entered into an agreement with a contractor to provide public transportation services using large buses, facilitating commuting between the city of Jenin and the campus.
In addition, AAUP has generously donated part of its campus area to establish a police center serving the campus and its surroundings. This donation adds to a previous contribution of land where a mosque has been built.
The university adopts a wastewater treatment plant (station) that solves the issue of 13000 beneficiaries, this was adopted due to the lack of wastewater stations in the area, and this also leads to the suffering of the residents of the area surrounding the university and the agricultural lands from environmental and health damage due to the disposal of untreated wastewater in the open agricultural areas.
