  • Abstract in English : OUTLINE: The benefits of street vegetation, in particular the importance of trees, for urban dwellers have been given wide attention. There is, however, a lack of research on flowers as an element of street vegetation. This paper explores preferences for various street-planting models, particularly those with different compositions of flowers, with or without trees. In conclusion, trees had the main effect on preferences and flowers were the most favoured element under the trees.
