“…According to Syahbudin et al (2018a), angsana (P. indicus) starts to cause damage when it has a diameter from 30 to 39 cm (the sidewalk) and 20 to 29 cm (the divider). Therefore, the tree species with potential root problems must not be planted because they can be dangerous and raise public complaints (Hasan et al 2017a;Hasan et al 2017b).…”

Abstract. Afrianto WF, Wati SI, Hidayatullah T. 2021. The suitability assessment of the tree species in the urban parks and urban forest in Kediri City, East Java, Indonesia. Nusantara Bioscience 13: 131-139. Kediri has several urban parks and an urban forest as green open space (GOS) which have essential roles in economical, social, aesthetical, and ecological aspects. Generally, urban trees provide ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, stormwater attenuation, energy conservation, habitat for wildlife, air, water, and noise pollutants reduction. The present study aimed to (i) determine tree diversity in five urban parks and an urban forest of Kediri City and (ii) evaluate the suitability of tree species based on three indicators (silviculture, management, and aesthetic). This study was conducted in five urban parks and one urban forest in Kediri City. The suitability assessment was carried out through a literature review. The results showed that 29 tree species belonging to 17 families were found in the study sites, with the family Fabaceae being the most dominant one with five species. The number of exotic tree species (17) was higher than that of the native ones (12). The suitability assessment results showed that 21 tree species had a high score of 39-44, and only eight urban tree species had a medium score of 36-38. The urban parks and urban forests in Kediri were managed for the conservation of germplasm, recreation, and protection. The shapes were clumped and line. This study will contribute information to be used as guidance for urban tree management and policy framework.

“…As a result, issues must be anticipated and addressed before hurting the project's outcome. Malaysia landscape architecture projects are a subset of the construction industry, which is recognised for a variety of project issues, most notably safety, financial viability, technical proficiency, and environmental stewardship (Hasan et al, 2018;Kurzi & Schroth, 2018;Marmaya & Mahbub, 2018;Mohit, 2018;Sani et al, 2018;Shafie et al, 2018;Shamsudin & Majid, 2019;Thani et al, 2017;Wena et al, 2017). In Malaysia, landscape architecture projects frequently face several difficulties, including insufficient human resources, insufficient skills and expertise, a lack of knowledge, a limited budget, a lack of interest, insufficient tools and equipment, poor quality planting materials, insufficient landscape personnel training, and a lack of civic awareness and attitude (Ackerman et al, 2019;Hussain & Byrd, 2012;Wang, 2018;Yang et al, 2016) These risks become project issues, affecting the project's quality, cost, schedule, scope, and objectives (Farooq et al, 2018;PMI, 2017).…”

The study aims to examine current project issues and the level of controllability in Malaysian landscape architecture projects. The data collection fieldwork was conducted via a semi-structured interview with twenty-four landscape architect professionals based in Klang Valley region. Content and thematic analysis were used to analyse the collected data. Found that project issues are controllable if the project is capable of anticipating and treating them in advance. Nonetheless, issues continue to occur as a result of insufficient action taken in response to predicted issues affecting project outcomes. Study recommends developing a process for systematically forecasting, evaluating, and treating future issues.

“…Preliminary findings suggest that landscape architects can anticipate project issues as practitioners of landscape architecture. The scope of practice, which includes all phases of work during a project, requires the practitioner's knowledge base to be expanded (Hasan et al, 2018). They can also suggest control strategies to avert any potential project issues.…”

The study's purpose is to assess project issues' controllability and indicate the necessity for a management system in Malaysian landscape architecture projects. A semi-structured interview with twenty-four Klang Valley landscape architects was utilised to collect data. The acquired material was analysed using content and thematic analysis. The study discovered that project issues could be managed if anticipated and addressed in advance. Despite this, inaction on common issues continues to affect project outcomes negatively. The study recommends developing a procedure for forecasting, evaluating, and treating future concerns.
