Universitas Gadjable Mada (UGM) has implemented new regulations\nregarding the timing of physical activities within the campus\nenvironment. Residents wishing to walk, run, or cycle within the UGM\narea on weekdays are now directed to exercise during specific hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cUGM supports physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle. What\nwe are doing is organising the use of space so that exercise, academic\nactivities, and the mobility of the campus community can coexist safely\nand comfortably,\u201d stated the Vice Rector of UGM for Planning, Assets,\nand Information Systems, Arief Setiawan Budi Nugroho, in a written\nstatement.<\/p>\n
On weekdays, from Monday to Friday, activities such as walking,\nrunning, and cycling are directed to take place between 05:00\u201306:30 WIB\nand 18:00\u201322:00 WIB. The public may continue to use pedestrian corridors\nand available paths; however, exercise activities are not permitted to\nuse motorised vehicle lanes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public can still utilise the pedestrian corridors and paths that\nhave long been used for exercise. This scheduling is implemented so that\nphysical activities and academic pursuits can run optimally\nside-by-side,\u201d Arief explained.<\/p>\n
This regulation is reinforced by the UGM Rector\u2019s Decree Number\n977\/UN1.P5\/KPT\/HUKOR\/2026 concerning the Supervision and Order of\nExercise Activities within the Universitas Gadjah Mada environment,\nwhich was established on 1 September 2026.<\/p>\n
Arief emphasised that these regulations are not intended to prohibit\nthe public from exercising within the UGM area, but rather to direct\nphysical activities to spaces appropriate for their intended use.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis regulation aims to create a campus environment that is healthy,\nsafe, orderly, comfortable, and inclusive for all users of the campus\narea,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
During the weekend, specifically on Saturdays and Sundays, exercise\nand recreational activities can be carried out in permitted areas,\nincluding GIK UGM and Wisdom Park.<\/p>\n
The General Manager of UGM Residence, Wijayanti, added that the\nWisdom Park National Sports Hall (GOR Kebangsaan) operates daily from\n06:00 to 22:00 WIB, while the park areas can be used until 18:00\nWIB.<\/p>\n
\u201cWisdom Park features the National Sports Hall, which is equipped\nwith various sports facilities. Additionally, there are walking and\nrunning tracks, outdoor fitness areas, 3-on-3 courts, and recreational\nareas available for public use,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ugm-regulates-exercise-hours-within-campus-grounds-1789656144", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
