Penentuan Luasan Optimal Hutan Kota Berdasarkan Emisi Karbondioksida (CO2) di Kota Cilegon Provinsi Banten

Abstract

Cilegon is one of the industrial cities that experience development are rapidly. Density of population activities such as transportation and industrial activity led to an increase in water and air pollution and temperature. This research was intented to know the optimal area of urban forest based on carbon dioxide emissions in the air that are generated by fuel oil, Liquid Petroleum Gas, coal, humans, cattle, and rice fields and also know the location of potentially managed as urban forest. methods of research conducted is the literature studies, interviews, preparation work, direct observation and ground check. Cilegon has eight locations of urban forest with a total area 26.11 ha.
