Potential Development for Absorption of Carbon and Reduced Air Polutionby Urban Forest: Implementation Using Remote Sensing Method in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, Indonesia

摘要

Banjarbarucity - located in South Kalimantan province, Indonesia - has high temperatures average and rain intensity. Those cause various disasters and adverse impacts on human life. Moreover, high urbanization and infrastructure development contribute landcover change and the increase of non-vegetation landcover. Air pollution from transportation needs to be reduced by developing urban forest in order to absorb carbon and pollution in the air. The purpose of this study is to explore how remote sensing method helps identification recent urban forest as the basis for further development in the city of Banjarbaru.
