Abstract

Conventional inventories may struggle to comply with long-term planning and adaptability in changing landscape planning and management. Therefore, digitizing inventories through a GIS-integrated system enhances better platform foresight, offering efficiency, and accuracy with advanced technologies in assisting landscape planning and management. This information aids in making informed decisions about tree care, preservation, and landscape design, promoting sustainable management practices and enhancing the overall quality of the environment. This study's objective is to collect accurate and detailed spatial data on tree locations and attributes within a specified area for efficient analysis and visualization. This study adopted Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to record, analyse, and visualise the collected data, enabling spatial analysis, mapping, as well as informed decision-making. The aim of this study is to provide a robust and reliable tool for the community, professionals, planners, and arborists to effectively manage, monitor, and preserve trees towards sustainable land use practices, and a resilient environment.
