Abstract

Specific critical success factor (CSF) assessment element for tree planting should be produced to monitor construction work in Malaysia. This paper prepared to develop critical success factor for tree planting works in Malaysia. In this study, there were 225 Landscape Architect respondents successfully responded to the survey conducted. The outcome of this paper began with the assessment elements that had to be rated by respondents according to their general assumption on the critical level of each element. Finally, this research establishes a set of critical success factor of tree planting.
