- Abstract in English : This paper consider the attitudes of residents, living in currently treeless streets in a Scottish town, to street trees. Four streets were selected for the study to provide a gradation from underprivileged to affluent. Most respondents did not see trees as important in improving the quality of their street. Trees were seen as most important in the two affluent streets, and least important in a low income street with a preponderance of elderly residents. The study reinforce the principle that landscape strategies are only likely to be successful when implemented on a street by street basis following consultation between residents and local authority officers.
