PREDIKSI LUASAN OPTIMAL HUTAN KOTA SEBAGAI PENYERAP GAS KARBONDIOKSIDA (CO2) DI KOTA MEDAN
ABSTRACT: City is the center
of government and human activities. The tendency of all activities centered in
the city results increasing of city development. This impacts the reduction of
Green Open Space especially the urban forest, the increasing of carbondioxide
concentration and the reduction of oxygen in the air. Such condition can reduce
the urban environment quality, because one of the functions of urban forest is
to absorb carbondioxide. This study aims to analyze the needs of urban forest
width based on the function of carbondioxide absorber in Medan up to 2050. The
method used was by collecting primary and secondary datas, then data analysis
was performed to determine the optimal width for urban forest. The results
showed that in 2012 Medan city need urban forest width for carbondioxide
absorber about 4.304,21 ha and in 2050 is 9.880,06 ha.
