本研究は、タイの大学をネットゼロへ導く統合的戦略枠組みを開発し、コンケン大学を事例に適用した。混合手法を用い、IPCCガイドラインやGHGプロトコル等の国際基準に沿って排出量インベントリ、クラスタリング分析、設計要因マトリクスを統合した。Scope 3排出（通勤・調達）の報告不足が課題であり、大学向けネットゼロ計画ツールを提案している。
English
This study develops an integrated strategic framework for guiding Thai universities toward net-zero, using Khon Kaen University as a case. Combining literature review, gap analysis, emissions clustering, and design-factor synthesis aligned with IPCC, GHG Protocol, and ISO 14064-1, it reveals underreporting of Scope 3 emissions (commuting, procurement) and proposes a University Net Zero Planning Tool integrating inventories, benchmarking, and prioritized interventions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の大学や研究機関でもScope 3算定やネットゼロ戦略が求められており、本枠組みはSSBJ開示やカーボンニュートラル宣言に取り組む教育機関にとって参考になる。特に通勤・調達排出の可視化と介入優先順位付けの手法は、日本の大学の脱炭素計画に応用可能。
In the global GX context
Globally, higher education institutions face pressure to align with net-zero targets and disclose emissions under frameworks like TCFD/ISSB. This study provides a transferable decision-support model for universities in developing countries, addressing Scope 3 gaps and offering a structured planning tool that could inform institutional climate strategies and reporting.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The transition of higher education institutions toward carbon neutrality has become an important component of national climate strategies. In Thailand, although several universities have begun conducting greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, significant gaps remain in Scope 3 accounting, monitoring systems, and strategic planning frameworks that support long-term decarbonization. This study develops an integrated strategic framework to guide universities toward net-zero pathways, using Khon Kaen University (KKU) as a case study. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a systematic literature review, gap analysis, emissions clustering, and design-factor synthesis aligned with international standards, including the IPCC Guidelines, the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, and ISO 14064-1. Data from Thai university reports and national emission factors were analyzed to classify institutions using hierarchical clustering based on energy intensity, emission intensity per student, sequestration capacity, and commuting emissions. The results reveal that Scope 3 emissions—particularly commuting and procurement—remain insufficiently reported across many institutions, limiting comparability but representing a major mitigation opportunity. The study proposes a University Net Zero Planning Tool that integrates emissions inventories, clustering-based benchmarking, and a design-factor matrix linking emission drivers to prioritized interventions. Application to KKU demonstrates both high operational emissions and substantial land-based sequestration potential. The framework offers a transferable decision-support model for universities in developing-country contexts seeking structured pathways toward carbon neutrality and net-zero targets.
