Main Article Content
Abstract
Roadside planting is a row of trees along the road which provides shades for people in urban areas. Proper management practices among the local authorities will improve the quality of life and human well-being. Unhealthy trees may cause problems to the road users that result from the lack of monitoring by local governing bodies. 200 respondents from the public from Selayang Municipal Council and Shah Alam City Council have participated in this study. The data analysis showed that fallen trees were the main reason for the public to lodge complaints, followed by brittle branches, thick branches and leaning tree trunk.
