 note = {Much of the transportation infrastructures in Afghanistan have either been damaged or have
deteriorated due to lack of regular maintenance over decades. After the repatriation of Afghan refugees from
neighboring countries, the population raised up rapidly, mostly in unplanned urban areas in Kabul city. This
rapid increase in unplanned urban population has resulted in an increase in consumption patterns and a
higher demand for transport, energy and other infrastructure, thereby putting a load on the pollution problem.
While developed countries are trying to reduce car dependency on the back of low carbon objectives, the
ownership and the use of private cars in urban areas of Kabul city is increasing dramatically. The slow
growth of road infrastructure and high growth of vehicles imply that Kabul roads are reaching a saturation
point in utilizing the existing capacities, hence, leading to congestion and further contributing to air
pollution.
This paper explores the distribution and underlying the factors of CO2 emissions per kilometer of each trip
from land-based transport throughout Kabul city. The travel time and other related data collected by the
authors in 2013 are used to examine the general travel patterns including travel time and traffic volume. Then
we explore the distribution of CO2 emissions throughout Kabul city from land-based transport. Finally,
various measures are examined for the reduction of CO2 emissions.},
