Tree is Life : uma aplicação no auxilio da resolução de conflitos entre arborização e equipamentos urbanos

Abstract

Despite all the benefits generated by urban afforestation (improvement of microclimate and air quality, shelter for fauna, reduction of noise pollution), when your planning is poorly prepared, it is necessary to carry out constant maintenance, as it can cause several problems in the city infrastructure (traffic signs, energy networks, cracks in walls and sidewalks). Based on the problems triggered by the lack of planning in urban afforestation, this work aims to propose the use of an auxiliary technology to the population and the competent managers, in the resolution of these conflicts in a practical and efficient way. The study was developed in three stages and shows the tool entitled “Tree is Life” as a technological method in proposing improvements in afforestation. The application proved to be an extremely important support in helping to resolve conflicts between urban equipment and the afforestation of public places, in addition to presenting several advantages over similar applications
