Abstract

Green development is a kind of development that considers two factors� social and environmental impacts of development. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are tools that can be used in monitoring of the impacts of climate change. They can demonstrate the effects of climate change and they can contribute to the proper management of urban green via their role as decision-making tools. Urban areas have an important role in urban ecosystems through multifunctional role of trees, such as the reduction of extreme temperatures. A digital database was constructed in the framework of the project LIFE Climate Value of Urban Trees- LIFE18 GIC/IT/001217. This database provides data and significant information about green areas, from four mediumsized cities, and is a key tool in urban green management as it takes into account the assessment of urban green. This online database can be used by both� experts and citizens. Aim of this paper is to describe the digital database (lifeclivut.treedb.eu). Web database app was created to be used as a user-friendly tool for experts such as environmentalists, foresters, urban planners with main aim supporting urban green areas. Foresters and environmentalists can use this web app for proper management and design as in this app exist data about the urban trees (tree height, breast diameter, position, tree health).
