This is a scientific report paper that utilize GIS for mapping the air quality differences in both green space and non-green space in the most developed city in eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Kuantan. A number of sampling locations were selected to measure the air quality using appropriate devices and apparatus. This study elucidate how green element in a city would bring impacts indirectly to the level of the air quality. The reader would understand relationship between the fragmented green spaces in the city with the health caused by the pollution in the air using GIS technology.
