Tree Condition

Trees in landscapes are valued for physical as well as aesthetic benefits and biodiversity. Trees on a university campus and in city parks also help to provide an environment in which students and visitors can study and relax. A critical decision facing urban foresters, arborists, and planners involves deciding when an existing tree should be removed and replaced; it is a decision often based on an evaluation of the tree’s health, condition, and safety concerns. This project surveyed a total of 3,335 trees with 79 species on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University (Nacogdoches, Texas, U.S.) and 1,572 trees with 44 species in Nacogdoches city parks. Tree health and replacement values of the two groups were statistically compared, as were the diversities of the two. Finally, the tree health conditions and distributions were spatially analyzed using a geographic information system. Although there was statistical evidence indicating that the campus trees were significantly healthier than the city park trees, neither of their biodiversity status was desirable. It is important to identify and remove trees with extensive wood decay and introduce new species when performing forest maintenance and management.

The 20,000-student Boise State University campus is located about 3 km from the center of the city of Boise. There is a significant amount of travel between the campus and the city center as students and staff travel to the city to visit restaurants, shops, and entertainment centers. Currently, people make this trip by car, shuttle bus, bike, or walking modes. Cars and shuttle buses, which share the same road network, constitute about 76% of the total trips. As road congestion is expected to grow in the future, it is prudent to look for other modes that can fulfill the travel demand. One potential mode is an aerial tramway. However, an aerial tramway is not a common mode of urban travel in the US. This research describes how the stated preference method was used to estimate demand for a mode that does not currently exist. An online stated preference survey was sent out to 8681 students, faculty, and staff and 1821 valid responses were received. Only about 35% of the respondents expressed their willingness to choose an aerial tramway for various combinations of cost and convenience of the new mode. Respondents were also found to favor convenience over cost for the new mode.

This scientific research was conducted to find out the description of the implementation of the Regional Regulation on Regional Spatial Planning in realizing environmentally sustainable development in Bengkulu Tengah Regency. The focus of this research is on the implementation of the policy of providing Green Open Space in the development of urban areas, namely the City Parks that have been built. The method used in this study uses descriptive qualitative methods with a case study approach. Data analysis is based on techniques commonly used in communication messages, namely data collection, data classification, data interpretation and meaning of research results. The results of the study were viewed from four aspects, namely the determination of zoning, licensing issues, choice of incentives and disincentives, and community participation. From this aspect, it is known that in the construction of City Parks as a form of implementation of the policy of providing Green Open Space in the development of urban areas in Bengkulu Regency, the principle of environmentally sustainable development has not been maximally realized. First, the determination of City Park zoning is carried out unilaterally by the government without coordinating with the community. Secondly, the issue of licensing where the construction of the City Park permit location is unknown to the public. Third, the choice of incentives and disincentives provided by the government is still too small and does not prioritize the interests of the community. Finally, the participation of the community in the construction of the City Park is still very lacking because the government is not transparent regarding the development planning that will be carried out.

Abstract: The city park is an example of a Public Open Space that is owned by the City Regional Government that is used for the benefit of the general public. The existence of the park as a form of public space in urban areas is closely related to the urban landscape system as a whole. A good landscape system is an indicator of an orderly and sustainable city. Basically the problem of the number of parks that are not visited due to lack of public knowledge about parks, theories / terms that develop among the public about city parks so that it forms certain perceptions that are usually contrary to the reality and behavior / behavior of users / users of the park. Discussion of the level of park preference will determine the factors that are of interest to the community in its utilization so as to maximize the function of the park. This study uses a quantitative paradigm with a rationalistic postpositivistic approach. The technique can use statistics, including grouping data, tabulating data, and presenting data based on variables, as well as performing calculations to answer the problem formulation, to test the hypothesis. Based on the results of the conclusions analysis are as follows: Factors that influence people's preference for the use of Purwodadi city parks are coherence variables (harmony, sustainability, feasibility), complexity (number, variety, uniqueness, difference), mystery (curiosity and uniqueness) , legal (ease and familiarity). Where seen from the beta coefficient value the highest value is coherent to the mystery. This means that coherence is the strongest factor that influences people's preferencesKeyword: Preference, City Park Abstrak: Taman kota merupakan contoh Ruang Terbuka Publik yang dimiliki oleh Pemerintah Daerah Kota yang digunakan untuk kepentingan masyarakat umum. Keberadaan taman sebagai bentuk ruang publik di daerah perkotaan sangat berhubungan dengan sistem pertamanan kota secara keseluruhan. Sistem pertamanan yang baik menjadi indikator suatu kota yang teratur dan berkelanjutan. Pada dasarnya permasalahan banyaknya taman yang tidak dikunjungi karena kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang taman, teori/istilah yang berkembang dikalangan masyarakat tentang taman kota sehingga membentuk persepsi tertentu yang biasanya bertentangan dengan kenyataan dan perilaku/ behaviour user /pengguna taman tersebut. Pembahasan tingkat preferensi taman akan menentukan faktor yang diminati masyarakat dalam pemanfaatanya sehingga dapat memaksimalkan fungsi taman tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma kuantitatif dengan pendekatan postpositivistik rasionalistik. Tekniknya dapat menggunakan statistik, meliputi pengelompokan data, mentabulasi data, dan menyajikan data berdasar variabel, serta melakukan perhitungan untuk menjawab rumusan masalah, hingga menguji hipotesis.Berdasarkan hasil analisis kesimpulan adalah sebagai berikut: Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi preferensi masyarakat terhadap pemanfaatan taman kota Purwodadi adalah variabel koherensi (keselarasan, keberlangsungan, kelayakan),  kompleksitas (jumlah, variasi, keunikan, perbedaan), misteri (rasa ingin tahu dan keunikan), legal (kemudahan dan keakraban). Dimana dilihat dari nilai koefisien beta yang tertinggi nilainya adalah koheren terhadap misteri. Artinya koherensi adalah faktor terkuat yang mempengaruhi preferensi masyarakatKata Kunci: Preferensi, Taman Kota
