Higher education institutions (HEIs) in both early and mature stages of sustainable development (SD) have been moving toward sustainability. Methods for assessing SD have been developed from global and regional contexts to support sustainability efforts. The purpose of this paper is to formulate guidelines as input to develop a sustainable assessment tool (SAT) for China based on the current SD stage of Chinese HEIs. Through desk research, SATs were selected and analyzed. Fifteen SATs consisting of more than 1000 indicators included in the analysis and based on components for developing SATs were identified, and then the components were selected and discussed through an online workshop engaging a 34-people Chinese research team, in order to formulate the guidelines for Chinese HEIs. The findings reveal that the emphasis of SATs mainly results from their contexts, purposes and stages, backgrounds or focus. Chinese HEIs are in the early SD stage, and the multiple purposes and components of SATs are identified to support local sustainability efforts. Having a clear understanding of the current SD stages of SATs and selecting the components accordingly would enable them to fully reach their potential in practice, especially in the case of early SD HEIs.

In this article, in order to have a better understanding of the current situation and supply-demand challenges with regard to the land use of educational space in primary and secondary schools in the downtown area, Tianjin and address the related problems, the comparative analysis is conducted on the land-use layout of 30 ordinary primary and secondary schools. In addition, for these primary and secondary schools, based on the information entropy, balance and dominance of land-use structure, and in conjunction with the actual conditions, spatial location and time of construction, efforts are made to analyze the diversity and balance of educational space. Generally speaking, the land-use layout of the surveyed schools falls into three types: ring-shaped with a center, linear, and group-based. Besides, thus, the main factors which exert certain influence on the pattern of spatial layout and the land-use structure of educational space in primary and secondary schools in the downtown area, Tianjin are identified by data analysis. It provides reference for the intensive use of educational space in primary and secondary schools, and lays a solid foundation for formulating a series of land-use planning and management policies targeted at primary and secondary schools.
