Recently, competition among universities has a whole new face, and emphasis is given toward interdependence and
interactive evolution between universities and regions. From this social perspective, universities should contribute to
regional development by serving the regional society using results of intellectual work, and it is necessary for
universities to accomplish social contribution and regional cooperation strategically. One of the most important parts in
strategic planning is that students participate in activities for social contribution and regional cooperation. This paper
presents a survey of the university students’ awareness on social contribution and regional cooperation using several
statistical methods and attempts to find factors which affect activities for social contribution and regional cooperation
using logistic regression analysis.
