AbstractThis study aims for setting the optimal solution to optimize the production of carbon emissions in Surabaya related to different types of land use. The scope in this study, limited to dominant land use in Surabaya, namely housing, industrial, and agricultural. CO2 emissions generated from energy consumptions from cooking fuel (LPG, kerosene, and firewood), consumptions of energy for electricity generation from industrial land, and consumption of urea fertilizer. CH4 emissions generated from activity during harvest time (time for planting until harvest time and large of harvested net area). To estimate the level of carbon emissions in each land use uses the quantitative analysis based on IPCC 2006. Meanwhile,method that used to achieve main objective related to optimization of carbon emissions in each land use uses linear programming by setting some criteria to formulate model, which are consist of objective function and constraint functions. The main objective in this research is to optimize the production of carbon emissions from agricultural, housing, and industrial land use. Based on quantitative analysis, total carbon emissions from housing, industrial, and agricultural land increase gradually which is in line with the land use development. The increasing of carbon emissions in each land use can be optimized through generates the optimum value of land allocation from agricultural, housing, and industrial land. The allocation of land use on the optimization results show that large of existing agriculture and housing are not expand, but the large of existing industrial land should be reduce as much as value in optimum solutions. The result is possible to be applied in Surabaya because in land use planning, large of industrial land is smaller than the optimum value but this value still can meet the optimum value of carbon emissions in Surabaya. Related to the result in allocation land use for optimize carbon emissions, government in spatial planning should consider the planning allocation of land use for agricultural, industrial, and housing based on the result from optimum solution.
