The Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia is in the process of rehabilitating its
landscape and spatial organization in order to have a better educational environment. In order for the University to implement its autonomy plan and as
a means of evaluating its academic development, a comparative study with
leading institutes in the region was carried out. Thus a visit to AIT was in order.
Other institutes in Thailand included in their visit were Kasetsart University and
King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi.
