The purpose of this study is to illustrate the spatial econometric techniques that estimate carbon dioxide emissions drivers. Following IPAT identity, an extended STIRPAT model was utilized to determine the primary driving factors for carbon dioxide emissions in Indonesia amid 1971-2013. On the premise of the three most important factors in the IPAT model, in particular, population size, economy development, and technological progress, the following influencing factors were introduced: urbanization, industrialization, fixed capital formation, trade openness, and energy consumption structure. The time-series analysis and quantitative investigation were performed on the affecting variable for two different time frames, to be specific, the period of New Order Era (1971-1998) and the period of the Reformation Era (1999-2013). The primary objective of this research is to identify and analyze the driving factors and the correspondences between the variables by utilizing STIRPAT model. This shows that higher population and urbanization further increases the economic development and the energy consumption per capita. Result in the increases CO2 emissions because of energy efficiency, energy saving technology and awareness of environmental protection are still low.
