Abstract

Urbanization has triggered an increasing of population rate and the contribution of gas emissions consequently due to of human activities is also increased. Green Open Space (GOS) is a balancer of an urban environment and able to create a microclimate. Research objective is to assess a carbon stock in urban trees according to regional typologies, characteristics and development in Depok City. In this study, the type of area was distinguished into typology of region based on three main criteria, namely: population density, income and road density. Sample of GOS has been selected visually using ARCGIS 10.5 software, then field observation was conducted to collect some supporting data through interview and questionnaire distribution. The results showed that the higher area’s type the value of carbon stock is increasing, and GOS for green belt is the biggest contributor of carbon stock with 5.37 tons / km². The community and government strongly support the movement of GOS development towards a Low Carbon City so that they need guidance and assistance from experts.
