UNISA Yogyakarta campus has several areas planted with vegetation. The form of vegetation varies, but the area is mainly covered by grass vegetation, especially Campus block A. In addition, UNISA Yogyakarta also helps the food needs of employees. Unisa Yogyakarta has some rice fields as part of fulfilling the need for rice assistance. UNISA also has many nutritional gardens owned and managed by Unisa and its faculties, such as the Nutrition Gardens owned by UNISA Yogyakarta and the Nutrition Gardens owned by the Faculty of Health Sciences. Another domination of plants is shady tree plants in green lines at several parking area points such as
Block A Building, Rusunawa, and Campus 1. These plants help to shade the vehicle parking area so that the vehicle does not get too hot. In addition, UNISA Yogyakarta also carried out some creative plant placements by utilizing vertical gardens along with the Fikes Nutrition Garden and the Bridge Fence Building B, as well as plant pots spread across many campus areas, starting from the rooftop of Building B and the cantilever area of the building A on the 2,3rd floor of Building and 4.
Paving dominates the surface area of the Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta campus, including the road and parking areas. The paving used in the campus area of the Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta has various types and forms. In addition to paving, grass also covers the surface area of the campus area, which serves to help absorb water into the ground if it rains. The grass area has various locations, for example, in the front garden of Building C (Siti Moendjiyah building), Part of the Green Open Space of Rusunawa, and behind the area of Building A (Siti Walidah building) on the east side of the building.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all rooms in the UNISA Yogyakarta campus building area continued to operate and maintain on a scheduled regular basis. The Yogyakarta UNISA Task Force controls the circulation of the community in each room by implementing the “SwaKunjungan Ruang” program in the form of barcodes affixed to each door. The visitor should scan before entering the room as a track record for tracing purposes if needed. The Unisa Yogyakarta task force went hand to hand with the Asset and General Bureau and Laboratory units regarding campus buildings and facilities during the pandemic. The Head of the Asset and General Bureau is responsible for controlling the offline activities of using space in each campus building through the approval of the UNISA Yogyakarta Covid-19 task force. The Head of the Asset and General Bureau is also responsible for scheduling area cleaning following lecture rules and Standard Operating Procedures for room decontamination. Meanwhile, the laboratory coordinator arranges the schedule for the use of the practicum learning activity room.
Disabled parking is located near the main campus buildings such as Buildings A, B, C Block A, and Rusunawa Building, as well as Campus Building 1. Disabled parking positions are marked with wheelchair-patterned paint and wheelchair-like bars. The parking position is close to the main entrance to the campus and does not interfere with the circulation of road users so that the parking area is safer and makes it easier for the disabled to access.

However, ramps are 20cm taller than universals for particular people, and the university has provided it for those in need in Building B.
