Abstract

Gresik urban area moves into an area that is growing rapidly as the main line of economic activity and services. These developments have consequences more awakened space requirements that can potentially lead to conflicts over land use, environmental damage thereby could reduce the carrying capacity of the environment. Gresik urban areas have experienced ecological deficit on aspects of carbon sequestration between 0.25 to 0.36 gha. On the other hand activities which occupied green open spaces in urban areas Gresik dominated by vacant land and shrubs which at any times can be converted into smaller plots. Green Open Space in the region are occupied 18.3% of total land use which supposed to be 30% of total land use. Therefore, it is crucial to give an evaluation regarding how the provision of green open spaces in Gresik urban areas as an effort to create a balanced utilization of space between land use for economic and environmental activities.

Thus, in these research some research phases are needed. The first phase will be carried out analysis of CO2 emissions (carbon footprint) production in Gresik urban areas from several activities such as housing, transportation and industry which is as dominant activity in this urban area. The second stage is CO2 emissions absorption analysis by green open spaces in Gresik urban areas based on existing condition. 

The result of this paper could be a good input for continued research to calculate adequate green open space for Gresik Urban area and at once give the recommendation where the green opens space should be plotted. Thus, the provision of green open spaces in urban areas Gresik could create balanced space utilization between land use for economic and environmental activities.

Keyphrases: CO2 emissions, Green Open Space, carbon footprint
