Abstract This study aims to identify environmental planning factors of academic libraries learning commons that influence higher education learners' perception of self-directed learning from a learning support perspective. A survey was conducted and the key findings are as follows: First, academic libraries should identify students' learning environment needs and actively develop learning commons accordingly. Second, analysis of environmental planning factors affecting self-directed learning perception showed that spaces for general students should provide a vibrant atmosphere with unrestricted access to resources, while spaces for graduate students should prioritize convenience and efficiency. Third, the significant impact of the "Diversity support plan" across all groups highlights the need for further research on DEI-based educational environments. These findings are expected to be fundamental in guiding higher education institutions in designing future learning environments for students' learning capabilities.
