Optimizing University Social Responsibility for a Sustainable Education Ecosystem: A CESI-Based Case Study of Udayana University
Abstract
Universities have a strategic role not only as educational institutions, but also as actors that contribute to the development of cultural, social, and environmental spaces in the surrounding areas. This research aims to explore how the Cultural Ecosystem Services in University (CESI) framework is used to understand University Social Responsibility (USR) practices at Udayana University and examines university social responsibility at the institutional level using the CESI framework. This research employs a qualitative approach, using participant observation combined with direct observation, document analysis, and secondary data analysis collected during 2018–2022. The research focuses on three main dimensions, namely economic value, cultural value, and environmental value. The research results indicate that Udayana University strengthens interactions among campus spaces, cultural practices, and public participation through certified internship programs, community service, cultural preservation, and green campus initiatives. These findings confirm that CESI is a relevant analytical framework for understanding the role of universities in local context-based sustainable development.
