“…Trees are valuable to human life, and their presence can increase the quality of life, especially in urban environments. Kilmer (1914), an American poet, stated that "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree ". In this poem, Kilmer expresses his appreciation of the existence and the beauty of trees.…”

Trees are natural assets that play a vital role in the environment and living things on earth. Every tree has its own values, importance and benefits that can make a huge impact, especially in terms of enhancing the urban environment. Thus, the Tree Preservation Order (TPO) has been introduced all over the world, including Malaysia, to protect the trees. Although there are numerous studies about the importance of trees in urban areas, there are still not many studies on the TPO in Malaysia. The implementation of TPO in Malaysia is still not sufficient because of the awareness and challenges in implementing the order. This study analyses the perceptions of the public and local authorities in implementing the TPO in the urban environment. The study managed to get fifty (50) respondents from the questionnaire survey conducted, and interview four representatives from the Department of Landscape and Recreation Development and Department of Planning of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH). The officers were interviewed in order to study the perception of the local authority on implementing the TPO in urban environment. Based on the result obtained, the study found out that the public has awareness, knowledge and proper understanding of the implementation of TPO. However, according to the local authority, the publicâ€™s awareness and knowledge of TPO is still lacking. The local authority faces several issues and challenges in implementing the TPO because of the lack of the awareness of TPO on the part of the public. Hence, public awareness and knowledge can also help the local authority in the implementation of TPO in the urban environment.

“…Biological diversity has received a general appreciation at the species level, but it needs to be assessed and preserved at all levels of environmental organization and spatial and temporal scales, and many Asian and African countries lack databases, so ecosystem monitoring systems and geospatial techniques provide valuable data to describe the natural landscape and its structure [12]and [13] . Previous studies have demonstrated the efficiency of the use of modern technology and the adoption of geospatial techniques represented by remote sensing technology and geographic information systems as a tool in the management of green spaces, as they allow collecting a lot of data easily and quickly, as well as spatially analyzing and interpreting them in a way that enhances the role of these spaces in urban cities [14]and [15] GIS technology has gained great importance as a tool in preserving and managing green spaces all over the world, as the study of such spaces requires comprehensive knowledge of their plant species, distribution pattern, and uses [16]and [17. Also, monitoring plant species and predicting their spread using modern technologies provides an opportunity to assist in good planning for the distribution of vegetation cover in the future [18]and [19] indicated that the use of imported plants is one of the reasons for biodiversity loss and ecosystem change.

one of the most important distinguish evaluation of plant species features of environmentally sustainable universities that are concerned with improving the life quality. The study was aimed to apply geospatial techniques in the evaluation of plant diversity at the level of species, genus and plant families in Baghdad and Al-Nahrain Universities. And the application of remote sensing technolog and geographic information systems ArcGIS v 10.3 tudy area capturedRepresented by the satellite image of the s on 28/1/2020 by the Sentinel-2B which is based on multi-spectral Image (MSI) with a spatial resolution of 10x10m2. It contains 13 spectral bands with the TIFF extension. From the results of the field survey of Al-Nahrain University, it was found that the total number of plants reached 577 plants, which included 25 plant species, 22 plant genus, and 19 plant families, compared to the total number of plants in the University of Baghdad, which was 3717 plants that belong to 70 plant species, 63 genus, and 35 plant families. The results of the vegetation cover index showed that the vegetation cover values ranged from -2 to 0.7, distributed between high density vegetation cover between 0.5 to 0.7, dense 0.3 to 0.5, low density 0 to 0.3, and poor vegetation cover 0.1. to zero. As for the water channel around the academic domain, buildings and roads, their values ranged from zero to -2, respectively. The results of the Normalized Difference Built-up Index ranged between 0 and -0.6, noting that the standard range of the index includes values below zero. Whenever the values go from -1 or less, they refer to building covers, roads, bridges, sidewalks, walkways, parking lots and other urban facilities and concrete blocks..
