Using Geographic Information System for Trees Assessment at Public Park

Trees are major capital assets in urban areas. Just as streets, sidewalks and recreational facilities are a part of a community's infrastructure, so are publicly owned trees. Thus they require care and maintenance the same as other public property. Without proper care, trees become liabilities and as a mean of attempting to reduce the potential of property damage or personal injury, this study monitored trees management at Public Park Shah Alam using a simple but effective method known as Geographical Information System (GIS). This tool can replace the conventional method to smart management where computerized and systematic approach of database system will accelerate the trees assessment.
