The given problem is to evaluate the double integral $\iint_D \arctan(y) \, dx \, dy$, where $D$ is the region bounded by $y = x$, $x = 0$, and $y = 1$.

To solve this, let's first understand the region $D$. The boundaries are:

1. $y = x$
2. $x = 0$
3. $y = 1$

This region is a right triangle in the $xy$-plane with vertices at $(0,0)$, $(1,1)$, and $(0,1)$.

Next, let's set up the double integral: $\iint_D \arctan(y) \, dx \, dy$

In terms of $x$ and $y$, the integral can be written as: $\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{y} \arctan(y) \, dx \, dy$

Notice that $\arctan(y)$ is independent of $x$, so it can be factored out of the inner integral: $\int_{0}^{1} \arctan(y) \left( \int_{0}^{y} dx \right) dy$

Evaluate the inner integral: $\int_{0}^{y} dx = y$

So the integral simplifies to: $\int_{0}^{1} \arctan(y) \cdot y \, dy$

We need to solve: $\int_{0}^{1} y \arctan(y) \, dy$

To evaluate this, we can use integration by parts. Let: $u = \arctan(y)$ and $dv = y \, dy$.

Then, $du = \frac{1}{1+y^2} \, dy \quad \text{and} \quad v = \frac{y^2}{2}$

Using the integration by parts formula $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$, we get: $\int_{0}^{1} y \arctan(y) \, dy = \left. \frac{y^2}{2} \arctan(y) \right|_{0}^{1} - \int_{0}^{1} \frac{y^2}{2(1+y^2)} \, dy$

Evaluate the boundary term: $\left. \frac{y^2}{2} \arctan(y) \right|_{0}^{1} = \frac{1}{2} \arctan(1) - 0 = \frac{\pi}{8}$

Now evaluate the remaining integral: $\int_{0}^{1} \frac{y^2}{2(1+y^2)} \, dy$

Simplify the integrand: $\frac{y^2}{2(1+y^2)} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{y^2 + 1 - 1}{1 + y^2} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1+y^2} \right)$

So the integral becomes: $\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{1} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1+y^2} \right) dy = \frac{1}{2} \left[ y - \arctan(y) \right]_{0}^{1}$

Evaluate this: $\frac{1}{2} \left[ (1 - \arctan(1)) - (0 - \arctan(0)) \right] = \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 - \frac{\pi}{4} \right)$

Therefore, the integral evaluates to: $\frac{\pi}{8} - \frac{1}{2} \left( 1 - \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{\pi}{8} - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{\pi}{8} = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the result of the given double integral is: $\boxed{\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2}}$
