Abstract

Air pollution is the most common problem in urban areas. Growth and population movements are key issues in urban areas that trigger an increase in the number of motor vehicles, especially in the metropolitan area. This condition leads to high and widespread areas affected by air pollution each year. This research aims to illustrate the possibility of distribution patterns and the dynamics of air pollution in urban areas of Tangerang city. The parameters used in this research are carbon monoxide (CO). To illustrate the distribution pattern, the Geographical Information System method was used. The results of this research show that the areas affected by air pollution are spreading annually. Based on the findings of this study, the average CO concentration exceeds the quality standards in 2034. This can be considered by the people and governments to keep urban areas sustainable.
