Abstract

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.
