The Factor Structure of Street Tree Attributes    (View PDF)

Robert Sommer and Barbara A. Sommer

Abstract: A factor analysis of 816 householder evaluations of street trees showed a general benefits factor and discrete annoyance factors in such areas as ground disturbance, disease, reduced visibility, and debris from fallen tree parts. Benefits were more highly related than annoyances to overall satisfaction with the street tree. The findings have implications for management of street trees and for future surveys of attitudes.
