Enhancing the open space of Jabodetabek area, Indonesia

Abstract

Jabodetabek area is planned to be developed as a sustainable development region. The Government of Indonesia (GoI) committed in Paris Conference that the target of GHG emissions would be reduced by 29% up to 2030 with her own efforts and by 41% with supported by international assistance. This research attempts to apply specific methods such as stratified planting method to improve the quality of green open space by increasing the absorbed carbon level. The study showed that with the planting vegetation of stratified model, the total capacity of the mainland to absorb CO2 gas is quite significant increase with approximately 20% compared to that of homogeneous vegetation. The stratified planting model is worthwhile to achieve the commitment of the GoI mentioned above.
