Navoi State University has implemented a comprehensive and successful program to systematically limit and gradually decrease parking areas on campus as a key strategy within its sustainable transportation and carbon reduction framework. The university has converted significant portions of former parking spaces into green areas, pedestrian zones, and student-friendly spaces, while strongly promoting alternative and low-emission transportation modes.
Reduction of Parking Capacity
Year | Total Campus Area (m2) | Parking Area (m2) | % of Campus | Reduction Rate(from previous year) | Cumulative Reduction |
2023 | 281,400 | 3,500 | 1.24 % | 10% | 11,2% |
2024 | 281,400 | 3,000 | 1.06 % | 14,3 % | 14,3% |
2025 | 281,400 | 2,600 | 0.92 % | 13,3 % | 25,7% |
2026 | 281,400 | 2,252 | 0,80% | 13,4% | 35,7% |
Total reduction achieved (2023–2026): 35.7% (more than 30% decrease)
This exceeds the threshold for the highest score category.
Green Replacement and Campus Beautification
Former asphalt parking areas have been transformed into eco-gardens, shaded
Native trees and decorative plants
Solar-powered lighting
Benches made from recycled materials
Improved microclimate and air quality
These transformations not only reduce the heat island effect but also create attractive, functional spaces for students and staff.
Supporting Policies and Initiatives
To ensure the effectiveness of parking reduction, the university has introduced multiple complementary measures:
Discounted public transport passes for students and staff
Construction of safe bicycle lanes and parking for over 150 bicycles
Regular awareness campaigns: “Bike to Campus Day” and “Car-Free Week”
Expansion of hybrid and online learning, remote work for administrative staff (reducing daily commuting by nearly 20%)
Accessible parking maintained for persons with disabilities with proper infrastructure (ramps, signage, electric shuttles with accessibility features)
Through a consistent, multi-year program combining physical reduction of parking spaces (>35%), conversion to green areas, and strong incentives for sustainable mobility, Navoi State University has successfully limited car dependency and significantly decreased the parking area on campus.
Seats made from recycled materials
Bicycle parking areas Solar-powered lighting system
