Abstract
Wind disasters contribute to tremendous physical destruction, injury, loss of life, and economic damage. These effects not be limited to wind damage, as concurrent heavy rains and flooding. Based on increasing number of destructive wind phenomena over the last few decades, our observational capabilities and recordings of such events have improved markedly, leading to greater public awareness of severe weather events. Within the paper we wish to present a GIS aided safety map related to the non invasive assessment of the trees from the urban green areas. The main idea is to create an urban GIS based evidence of the green areas focused on the Hidden Tree pathology in order to: increase the safety of the Urban Parks and to have an instrument for decision making in eliminating the trees which endangering the citizens safety due to hidden pathology.
