Nearby natural environments on campus grounds have become imperative in enhancing
sustainable academic experiences by facilitating sustainable social learning. However, tropical region
campuses prioritise traditional education while neglecting sustainable social learning. Therefore,
the purpose of this study was to facilitate the use of nearby sustainable pocket settings on campus
grounds to enhance social learning experiences. The present study aimed to identify factors affecting
social learning experiences in nearby (sustainable) pocket spaces on tropical campuses. It utilised a
verbal questionnaire survey conducted in three research universities in Malaysia to investigate the
factors affecting 408 respondents in nearby (sustainable) pockets. The respondents were selected
using stratified judgemental sampling. This study’s findings revealed that many influencing factors
predicted the social learning experience in tropical universities’ nearby pockets, which were arranged
into four domain factors: elements and activities, natural environment factors, perceived environment
factors, and social factors. This provided a proven correlation between the lack of social learning in
nearby pockets and the factors of these sustainable settings. The findings also showed that students’
demographic factors, including education status and university affiliation, influenced their social
learning experience. The present study significantly linked education to sustainability by integrating
social learning into nearby sustainable pocket settings.
