To optimise that key role, DURP ITS has a challenge to improve its study design both in national and international levels. Specifically for international level, an acknowledgement from international bodies or association is a compulsory. In 2016, APSA (Asia-Pacific Planning School Association) has registered DURP ITS as one of its members. This membership allows us to a high level of international community in planning schools. Furthermore, we also have established networks with other 13 foreign universities such as University Sains Malaysia in Malaysia; Shibaura Institute Technology in Japan; Saxion University in Netherland and Radboud University in Netherland.
