摘　　要：Urban areas globally are escalating contributors to carbon dioxide(CO_(2))emissions,challenging sustainable development.This study proposes a novel micro-scale approach utilizing GIS to quantify CO_(2)emission spatial distribution,enhancing urban sustainability assessment.Employing a“bottom-up”methodology,emissions were calculated for various sources,revealing Isfahan’s urban area emits 13,855,525 tons of CO_(2)annually.Major contributors include stationary and mobile sources such as power plants(50.61%),road and rail transport(17.18%),and residential sectors(21.78%).Spatial distribution mapping showed that 81.68%of CO_(2)emissions originate from stationary sources,notably power plants.Furthermore,mobile sources,including road transport,contribute 17.16%,with emissions concentrated in main urban arteries.Agricultural machinery adds 1.14%of emissions,spatially distributed across Isfahan’s agricultural lands.Integration of emissions maps depicts the city’s total CO_(2)emissions,highlighting sectoral contributions.Despite limitations in data granularity,this study provides valuable insights into urban CO_(2)emissions dynamics,facilitating targeted mitigation strategies.Quantitative achievements include precise CO_(2)emission quantification and spatial distribution mapping,crucial for formulating effective urban sustainability policies.
