文摘内容 Urban forestry is now increasingly practiced in Thailand. This has gained impetus because of gradual deterioration of visual amenity and environmental quality in many of the rapidly developing urban centers. Various urban beautification programs are being implemented to rehabilitate blighted landscape,polluted atmosphere and deteriorating weather conditions, as well as to maintain a clean, healthy and pleasant environment so as to ensure a better quality of life. Planting of suitable trees for shade, climatic amelioration and aesthetic values form the principal activity under these beautification programs. It is regarded as not only an important component of socio-economic development but also contributive to the restoration of the urban ecosystem. The responsibility of the implementation of most of these programs falls to the Bangkok Metropolitan, Administration, Provincial and District Municipalities. The Royal Forest Department plays the supporting role of supplying seedlings of the species required for planting and providing technical advice on the growing of these trees. In this paper tree species commonly planted in urban and populated areas in Thailand are identified. It is envisaged that with the vast amount of flora available in Thailand and through the integrated efforts of all agencies involved, this program will achieve the target of beautifying the cities and towns of Thailand。
