| Abstract: | Responses to questionnaires completed by 1,174 householders who rated characteristics of their street trees were subjected to factor analysis. The most important factors were general benefits, ground disturbance, disease, safety, seasonal marking, droppings and suckers, which became the basis for scales on which each species could be scored. These scales represent an economical and coherent method which can complement simulation and expert rating systems, for describing householder opinion towards street trees. |
