Abstract

Urban forestry in sidewalks is essential to the maintenance of life quality, offering comfort to the city inhabitants. However, there are problems caused mainly by the lack of planning in the implantation and management of urban forestry. The aims of this work have been to carry out qualitative and quantitative analyses of the tree individuals and to evaluate the index of green area/inhabitant of the section Jardim Águas do Paiol, in the city of AraraquaraSP, Brazil. The inventory showed 159 trees belonging to 15 families, being Licania tomentosa (Benth.) Fritsch (oiti) the most frequent, with 23,71% and the least frequent, Schinus lentiscifoluis (pimenteira), with 1,92%. The total area of tree tops found in the streets and avenues of the section was 1.818,82 m2 and the green area ratio was 18,43m2 /inhabitant. The majority of the trees which are planted on the sidewalks don't conflict with aerial electric and telephone lines.
