“…Criteria and subcriteria were based on previous research on the selection of trees for urban environments (Amir & Misgav 1990, Miller 1997, GDF 2000, Pauleit 2003, Saebø et al 2003, Li et al 2011, Asgarzadeh et al 2014. The most recommended subcriteria were selected giving a total of 31 subcriteria, three of which were incorporated for particular characteristics relevant to Mexico City: (i) retention of suspended particles; (ii) low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions; and (iii) reduced soil volume tolerance.…”

“…Recently, the use of AHP has been suggested for urban tree selection because the process involves a combination of several factors (criteria), each with a different degree of importance on the final decision (Asgarzadeh et al 2014). Previous research suggests implementing criteria such as tolerance to stress factors, aesthetics, maintenance, growth characteristics, and ecological effects, among others to guide species selection (Amir & Misgav 1990, Miller 1997, GDF 2000, Pauleit 2003, Saebø et al 2003 but the decision making can be complex. The AHP has been recommended as an inte-grated assessment approach that considers the complexity of multiple criteria in tree selection for urban areas such as Hefei, China and Tehran, Iran (Li et al 2011, Asgarzadeh et al 2014.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a densidade de árvores, riqueza de espécies e possíveis conflitos na arborização do município de Guatambu, SC, sugerindo medidas alternativas para solucionar os problemas existentes. Neste sentido, foram levantados alguns dados como: o nome da espécie arbórea; altura (m), Circunferência a Altura do Peito (cm); distância entre as árvores (m); sanidade; e presença ou ausência de área livre adequada. Os dados foram coletados em formulários específicos e transferidos para planilha específica. Registrou-se a existência de 80 exemplares, distribuídos em 9 espécies, 9 gêneros e 7 famílias botânicas. As espécies mais abundantes foram Ligustrum lucidum e Balforodendrum riedelianum. Os maiores conflitos observados foram a pequena dimensão de área livre e árvores muito jovens para o plantio. Ainda, a implantação de espécies exóticas em restrição às nativas diminui o nível de diversidade da paisagem.

“…Previous research suggested aesthetic, ecological, economic, and environmental factors as the main criteria for tree species selection [3,[24][25][26]. Saebø et al [26] and Saebø et al [27] suggested three categories for species selection: "basic features" (inherent characters such as climate adaptation, and pest and disease tolerance), "urban stress tolerance", and "amenity and functional features".…”

Street tree species are selected mainly based on functional utility. This selection practice results in effective management. If the value of street trees as perceived by citizens is added to the existing selection criteria, satisfaction will be improved in addition to effective management. This study attempted to find a way to reflect citizens’ values in street tree selection criteria through empirical analysis. A preference survey and the visual and affective evaluation of 12 street tree species in Busan Metropolitan City were conducted. With the collected data, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to draw common factors of evaluation. Additionally, multidimensional scaling (MDS) was used to group tree species that were considered similar. The study results revealed that citizens prefer species that provide visually positive feelings and intimacy. Some species appropriate for urban greenspaces are not preferred for street trees. Although a low level of nuisance is an important aspect of street trees, citizens do not prefer species that are excessively free from nuisance. When selecting species with a polarized preference, dealing with undesired aspects is required. It is necessary to acknowledge the different preferences of citizens and street tree authorities; reflecting citizens’ values can provide more citizen-friendly street plans.
