Tree Preservation Order and its Role in Enhancing the Quality of Life

Trees are an important part of human community especially in the urban area. They can help to define the character of an area and create a sense of place. The deep enthusiasm for trees as an integral part of an urban environment is evident, thus protecting trees with aesthetic and a high amenity value is part of a good sustainable practice. This study is to analyze the implementation of TPO in tree management practice through interview and survey. Consequently, the results show that 80% of the respondents considered TPO were not fully utilized during proposed landscape design.
