A focus is placed on the terrestrial and aerial inventory of the natural resources, including trees, landscape and biotopes. Furthermore, the study tries to explore the perception and attitude of local people, concerning urban forests and green areas. It also explores and investigates the possibilities for implementing an urban green management concept. In addition, the concept for urban green management in tropical urban green areas requires appropriate measures to guarantee control of the development. In order to cope with environmental problems and to prevent new ones, planning with foresight is necessary. The overall goal is to safeguard the capacity of the ecosystem. That means the complex interrelationship of all natural resources such as plants, wildlife, human intervention, soil, water with their vast physical, chemical and biological processes should be considered in the early planning processes.
