UFMonev application design for managing urban forest data and information
Abstract Fallen tree incidents in urban areas are frequently reported and often result in loss of property and even death. Therefore, tree health monitoring in urban forests needs to be carried out regularly. The tree health monitoring and evaluation (monev) requires a large amount of time, money, and labor, while the availability is very limited. This condition leads to the lack of tree health monitoring in the urban forest. Up to now, monev activities and reports are still conducted traditionally by using pen and paper. This method has many shortcomings such as ineffectiveness and inefficiency during monev and less engagement of the results. To solve this problem, the method must be modified in a new approach that is relevant to today’s era of Industry 4.0, namely the Internet of Things. This study aims to overcome the shortcomings by designing a Management Information System (MIS) named UFMonev. UFMonev was developed by prototyping method using kodular. Analysis in the information system was carried out by assessing the physical condition of the tree. UFMonev was built in the form of an application that is operated via a smartphone. This application can only be accessed by the party responsible for managing trees in urban areas.
