Business Administration Department Leads Public Awareness Campaign on Protecting Public Property

On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, the Business Administration Department at Cihan University–Erbil organized a public awareness campaign aimed at protecting public property and promoting civic responsibility within the community. This initiative reflects the university’s commitment to social responsibility and its ongoing efforts to foster a culture of respect for shared spaces and public resources.

During the campaign, first-year students participated under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Hevi Mohammed Qadir. The students visited various neighborhoods in Erbil to distribute awareness brochures, sharing them with residents, shop owners, and street vendors while encouraging the responsible use of public property. The primary goal was to raise awareness about protecting public resources, reducing damage, and promoting a cleaner, safer, and more organized urban environment.

Prior to the campaign, the students, guided by the department’s academic staff, prepared and printed brochures titled “Public Property Belongs to Everyone.” These brochures provided valuable information emphasizing that protecting public property reflects the values and image of society. They highlighted key messages, including the importance of respecting shared spaces as a sign of consideration for others and how responsible individual behavior can prevent damage. The brochures also encouraged citizens to take practical actions that support sustainability, such as keeping streets and parks clean, protecting public facilities, and promoting respectful behavior in public areas.

The campaign not only increased community awareness but also strengthened social responsibility by demonstrating how cooperation and civic engagement can enhance quality of life. Residents, shop owners, street vendors, and visitors expressed appreciation for the students’ efforts, noting that such initiatives contribute to a healthier, more attractive, and better-organized city environment.
