Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 3: 175-182. Infrastructure development along river canal of campus area would change river structure. Macrozoobenthos is aquatic bioindicator of environmental changes. This research aimed to review macrozoobenthos community changes affected by development and renovation of ITB Jatinangor campus infrastructure, such as the development of artificial lake, repairment of road and water canal. The research was conducted from October 2013 to March 2014. Sampling macrozoobenthos was conducted at eight stations of lotic ecosystem by using Surber net on rocky substrate and Ekman dredge on sandy and muddy substrates. The result showed that activities along lotic ecosystem affect macrozoobenthos structure and composition. Seventy-one species with three dominant species were found, i.e., Anentome sp. (3.581 ind./m2), Pleurocera sp. (1.241 ind./m2) and Corbicula sp. (1.927 ind./m2) with six singleton species during sampling.
