<![CDATA[ABSTRACTIncreasing numbers of vehicles wil lincrease the concentration of carbondioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Bogor Botanical Gardens was chosen as study site because it is one of urban forest in Bogor City with an important role in absorbing carbondioxide (CO2). Therefore to calculate carbondioxide (CO2) that was absorbed by canopy trees in Bogor Botanical Garden used the software ArcView3.2 and extensions CITYgreen 5.0. Based on the result of the analysis CITYgreen 5.0 obtained information stating that existing condition in Bogor Botanical Gardens has carbondioxide (CO2) sequestration potential by 134,61 tons/year and it is able to absorb carbondioxide (CO2) emissions only 0,06 % of carbondioxide (CO2) emitted by motor vehicles at this time. Bogor Botanical Gardens with the first scenario could increase the carbondioxide (CO2) sequestration potential from existing condition by 117,06%. The first scenario is able to absorb carbondioxide (CO2) emissionsby 0,055% carbondioxide (CO2) emitted by motor vehicles in 2040. Then the second scenario was made to increase the carbondioxide (CO2) sequestration potential. The second scenario could increase the carbondioxide (CO2) sequestration potential from the existing condition in the Bogor Botanical Gardens by 267,88%. The second scenario is able to absorb carbondioxide (CO2) emissions by 0,094% sof carbondioxide (CO2) emitted by motor vehicles in 2040.Keywords: Bogor Botanical Garden,Carbondioxide (CO2) emission, Carbondioxide (CO2) sequestration, CITYgreen 5.0]]>
