A summary and forecast of demand for municipal street tree service on Staten Island, New York
Journal, Research (Article)
The objective of this study was to establish a reasonably accurate demand forecasting model for municipal street tree services on Staten Island, New York. Using the raw data gathered from years from 1996 through 2000, a chart and mathematical equation for anticipated monthly demand were derived for the year 2001. The development of the model was accomplished with simple arithmetic computations and computer-assisted regression analysis. Although occasional storm damage skewed some monthly figures, it is apparent that demand for public tree maintenance on Staten Island is decidedly seasonal and predictable. [Abstract]
