This paper aims to examine the changes that occur in the district of Batang Padang, Perak implications of the existence of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris. Using secondary data and primary data obtained from field studies and a questionnaire collected from 370 heads of households, some findings have been obtained, such as i. a significant increase in population in the nearest town (Tanjong Malim), ii. an increase of employment opportunities, iii. changes in the occupational structure and iv. increasing the supply of goods and services from high order types. These findings are preliminary evidence showing that the approach put universities as agents of regional development is still relevant in this global era.
