Abstract: Air contamination has turned into a difficult issue in huge urban communities on the planet. Urban air contamination has affects human wellbeing. The city of Makassar as a center for the development of strategic areas in eastern Indonesia are tends to experience rapid growth in various fields including the transportation sector as a support for community activities which are very important at this time. Thus in this work, assessment of the impact of Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) quantities resulting from the implementation of the development plan and operation of the Makassar City Monorail with the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method was done. Findings showed that, for the implementation of monorail operations, there will be a reduction in CO2 emissions resulting from the transfer of transport modes. In pre-construction that has the impact of heavy equipment mobilization and labor mobilization, the preparatory work also results in CO2 impacts.
