Abstract

The urban forest is part of public green open space which is formed by trees alliance that affect the temperature and humidity and reduce the wind speed so could provide convenience for the surrounding population. The aim of this research was to identify the species of the trees, to know the convenience based on THI and the public perception. Trees vegetation data inside urban forest were collected by census methods, temperature and humidity data were collected by measurement. Perception data were collected through interview using questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used to analyzed the trees vegetation and visitors' perception. The comfort level were analyzed by using Nieuwolt's comfort index. The results showed the influence of the density of vegetation to temperature and humidity affected the level of comfort. The dense canopy area had the air temperature at 29,43oC and humidity at 78,02%. The rare canopyarea had the air temperature at 30,49oC and humidity at 75,23%. Based on the THI, Linara Urban Forest was classified uncomfortable with values > 26. The perceptions of visitors to the Linara Urban Forest was in comfort categories.
