Abstract: The study deals with the evaluation of quality indicators of vegetation elements forming urban greenery areas. There
were detailed evaluation indicators of quality defined for individual vegetation elements and also the indicators of their maintenance care quality. Detailed field survey was done in selected areas of greenery of residential complexes in Ostrava
(Czech Republic). There were 2005 pieces of vegetation elements assessed on a total area of 17.71 hectares. The results of the study highlighted the differences in quality of individual elements as well as in the quality of achieved maintenance care.
The worst average values of qualitative indicators were determined at the groups of trees. 60.59 % of the evaluated groups of trees were in poor qualitative condition and 50.48 % of the groups of trees showed poor quality of the maintenance care.
The results also demonstrated the influence of the quality of maintenance care on the qualitative status of the individual elements. The proposed indicators and results of this study have direct applicability on the management of urban green spaces.
Keywords: urban greenery, vegetation elements, qualitative indicators, maintenance care, residential areas
