MBSA Arboplanner is a tree mapping, consulting and web service for Majilis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) maintained by Arboribus Databases SDN. BHD.
Aim
The aim is establishing tree inventories that are connected with environmental, ecological and social data. These connections will facilitate evidence-based decisions for tree maintenance, natural resources management as well as a social and ecological exploitation of trees diversity.
Open-data philosophy
Tree inventories and tiles of orthoscopic soil photography are free to be to be downloaded, copied, adapted and published.
Participation
The design of the website is under continuous development to ease public, corporate and institutional use and participation. The ability to modify data will be password protected. For further enquiries please contact Dr Jean Weber from Arboribus Databases SDN. BHD. Mail: jean_weber31@hotmail.com Tel: 0132524874

The Zoning Map reflects present and proposed land uses.
Last modified in 2015, the map is only indicative and may
be subject to changes.
This map indicates where ecological connections may improve the integrity and resilience of man-made
and natural ecosystems
High resolution terrain views allow the recognition of tree positions and growth conditions.
Pictures of the soil below tree canopy are taken with a camera mounted on a pole.
These pictures are computer-aligned and transformed into an orthoscopic and georeferenced terrain view.
Camera on a pole
Georeferenced 256 x 256 pixels tiles of terrain view can be downloaded at:
http://soilt.arboribus.org/mbsa/z/xtile/ytile.png
z = Google map zoom level ranging from 15 to 24
xtile = n * ((lon_deg + 180) / 360)
ytile = n * (1 - (log(tan(lat_rad) + sec(lat_rad)) / π)) / 2
n = 2 ^ z
lon_deg = longitude of a point in the tile in degree
lat_rad = latitude of a point in the tile in radians
Example of a tile:

If you wish developing your own application with a frequent use of terrain view tiles, you should store tiles on your own file server. For further information you may contact: jean_weber31@hotmail.com
