Abstract

The paper reports on a GIS-based approach to modeling carbon emissions through an urban community. The approach uses bottom-up modeling of urban form components (land use, buildings, and transportation network) to assess the community-wide carbon emission system. Model inputs (land cover, population, building types, vegetation structure) were integration of spatial and non-spatial data derived from diverse sources. Results are quantified and illustrated spatially as a whole system, and component carbon emissions are attributed to (i) buildings, (ii) transportation, (iii) residence, and (iv) vegetation.
