Recommendation for Reducing Carbon Emissions in Subsidized Housing Areas Experiencing A Jobs-Housing Imbalance

Abstract The jobs-housing balance is a concept that represents the alignment between the availability of housing and job opportunities within a particular geographic area. It aims to reduce congestion, environmental pollution, and promote sustainable development. Imbalances in jobs and housing area likely to occur in subsidized housing areas, as these are often located in suburban areas far from economic centres. This research seeks to recommends strategies to reduce carbon emissions from subsidized housing areas. The balance between jobs and housing was measured using a balance area reference processed using ArcMap 10.4.1 and subsequently calculated using the jobs-housing balance ratio. Carbon emissions from each subsidized housing area were then measured. Finally, recommendations were made to reduce carbon emissions in these areas. The results showed that only Cerme Indah housing experienced an imbalance between jobs and housing. It is contributed signiTicantly more carbon emissions compared to Grand Kencana Bangil housing and Grand Kencana Mojokerto housing, which exhibited a balanced in jobs-housing ratio. Policy recommendations to reduce carbon emissions from subsidized housing include developing public transportation systems and infrastructure in Perumahan Cerme Indah, promoting active mobility in Grand Kencana Bangil housing, and constructing shelters and micro-transit for transporting to public transportation hubs in Grand Kencana Mojokerto housing. The Tindings of this research are expected to inform the development of integrated and sustainable housing and transportation policies.
