— Trees are one of the most critical indicators in green space and urban forestry planning. Knowing information about street trees is of paramount importance for proper planning and management. Any defect that causes trees to be hazardous can result in dangers to humans and vehicles. For this reason, qualitative and quantitative features and the risk potential of Oriental Plane (Platanus orientalis L.) trees on both sides of Chahār Abbasi Street and part of Chahār Bāgh Paeen Street, Isfahan, were investigated using the point transect method with a random starting point. Results showed that two criteria of deviation from a vertical position (62%) and root problems (44%) have the greatest contribution to hazard creation. Sixty-three percent of surveyed trees were classified as very low-risk trees. By selecting the most suitable tree species, taking preventive measures prior to the incidence, and applying proper management techniques, we can avoid the hazards of these trees to a large extent. |
