Abstract

A campus is a place where students can spend most of their time. There are various activities carried out both academic and non-academic, for self-development and positive socialization. Campus open space is one area that can accommodate these activities. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the loss of various activities on campus. After the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic began to diminish, campus activities have slowly started to becarried out again offline, including activities in campus open spaces. Therefore, it is necessary to review the possibility of changes to preferences and activity patterns in campus open spaces related to the limitations of joint activities as a form of prevention of transmission during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This article would like to review various literature studies related to preferences for the use of open spaces and student activity patterns before the onset of Covid-19, including literature studies related to landscape elements that form spaces that can support student activities in open spaces. This article also reviews the literature on changes in the use of open spaces during the Covid-19 pandemic which was influenced by activity restrictions from the application of strict health protocols.
