Desenvolvimento de software para o planejamento da arborização urbana

Abstract

Adequate planning and handling of street arborization must be organized by means of a computerized system. A software was developed to indicate the appropriate species for urban arborization according to different locations and planting situations. The characteristics of vegetal species were surveyed for the obtainment of data to be registered into the system, such as height, cup diameter, height of the furcation, leaves, flowers (color and flowering time), root type, trunk type, tree health, and so forth. The software allows the selection of species which are appropriate for a certain project, offering options for the user. The program generates consultations and reports with project-related data which can be printed, such as common name, scientific name, family, image, and species characteristics.
