Green Configuration-Based GIS Spatial Model in Riparian Area of the River Kuin Banjarmasin, Indonesia

Abstract

Green cover configuration plays an important role in urban development. Research has been carried out from an investigation at riparian area of The River Kuin, Banjarmasin, Indonesia. In the riparian area of The River Kuin consists of 65.87% build-up area (red zone), 25.12% streets (gray zone), and 9% of green open space (green zone). Based on calculations with the vegetation index, the green open space which amounts to 9% is able to store carbon reserves of 129.21 tons. In addition, the presence of green open spaces also contributes to the atmosphere of life in the riparian area.
