In the last ten years, there have been two developing universities in Gowa Regency (Faculty of Engineering, University of Hasanuddin and UIN Alauddin). Both universities are the centres of growth in housing and settlements, especially student rental houses. The development of housing has not yet been served with adequate housing/city infrastructure and facilities. The purpose of this study are: 1) to analyze the student travel behaviour in meeting their shopping needs (daily or monthly), 2) to explain the visit location of shopping facilities of those groups of student, 3) to arrange the resource development directions for environmental and sub-district development. The data were collected from field surveys, and online questionnaire using non probability sampling. The analytical method used were spatial and descriptive analysis. The results of analysis showed that the dominant student travel behaviour using a motorcycle, both for daily and periodic shopping needs. Travel behaviour always done together (two people). Behaviour movements, using motorcycles, both to the service centre in the environmental scale or district and city scale. The location of the visit is an environment scale service centre with a distance of ± 200 meters and a district or city scale service centre with a distance of > 5 km. Direction of development to support the dominant path of students using motorbikes within short reach is, provided a bicycle lane and pedestrian shade. In addition, the procurement of mass transportation to support long-distance travel to district and city-scale shopping centres. Development of sub-district service centres can be directed using the concept of mixed use and smart transportation (TOD), where the distance of the two groups of student housing is within a radius of ± 5.2 km.
