- Abstract
This paper aims to present a GIS-aided safety map related to the non-invasive assessment of trees in urban green areas. The goal is to create an urban GIS-based evidence of the green areas focused on hidden tree pathology, in order to increase the safety of urban parks and provide an instrument for decision-making to eliminate trees that pose a danger to citizens due to hidden pathology. This is especially important in light of the tremendous physical destruction, injury, loss of life, and economic damage caused by wind disasters, as well as concurrent heavy rains and flooding, which have become increasingly common in recent decades. Improved observational capabilities and recordings of such events have led to greater public awareness of severe weather events.
