Relationship of trees as green infrastructure to pro-environmental behavior for psychological restoration in urbanized society: a systematic review

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021

Trees are considered one of the “green infrastructure” elements due to the “green” benefits they have provided to the urban environment. Greener environments are associated with mental health, and to the urban inhabitants, trees bring a multitude of environmental benefits. Even though there are various opinions on pro-environmental behavior (PEB), there are similar understandings of protecting and preserving the environment. Psychological Restoration (PR) is a cognitive progression in replenishing a good emotion via a connection with the natural environment and urban park. This paper reviews the literature published between 2005-2021 on SCOPUS and describes the current knowledge regarding PEB and PR connected to urban trees. Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses known as PRISMA were employed, which deals with identification, evaluation, exclusion, and in...

Tree Vandalism in Malaysia: Criteria for Urban Forest Monitoring

Assessment of Tree Vandalism Level in Kuala Kangsar Urban Park, Perak, Malaysia

Vandalism incidence has a major impact on urban tree performances, such as health declines, poor appearance, and performance-related effects. Hence, there is a need for a tree vandalism assessment that can present the tree vandalism statuses to guide decision-makers and tree managers in the improvement and rectification of decisions. This study assessed the level of tree vandalism incidents in Kuala Kangsar Urban Park, Perak, Malaysia. The study used a quantitative approach by analysing the tree vandalism data from two sampling locations comprising commercial and recreational areas were accessed. The result indicates three major findings. The first is that the vandalism level of tree vandalism incidence in the commercial areas (362.68v) was generally higher than in the recreational (242.82v). Second, wounding tree stems due to construction work activity was the main factor for tree vandalism incidents. And finally, disservice trees were confirmed to be associated with intentional tree vandalism incidents that need to be considered in the tree vandalism issues. The study concluded that the tree vandalism status in Kuala Kangsar Urban Park is very low in classification. It was recommended that the level of tree vandalism in the urban area should be constant and closely monitored. Future studies should investigate and include qualitative inputs that incorporate human subjects to enable generalization within the comprehensive context.
