Abstract. Mosyaftiani A, Wahyu Kaswanto, Wiyoga H, Syasita N, Septa AF, Djauhari D. 2022. Monitoring and analyzing tree diversity using i-Tree eco to strengthen urban forest management. Biodiversitas 23: 4033-4039. Inadequate data on vegetation growth makes it difficult for managers determine the additional measures necessary effective The management of forests in Jakarta also raises this issue. Collaborative research with multiple stakeholders was conducted five assess structure as a basis long-term monitoring Using 49 plots, we carried out field inventory gather information number, diameter at breast height, crown size. Eco programme used examine gathered. widely analysis make viable evidence-based evaluation feasible help processing. results showed that had moderate level diversity, an index value ranging from 2.1 3.0. most common species—Swietenia macrophylla, Terminalia sp., Delonix regia, Ceiba pentandra, Aleurites moluccanus—dominate forests, whereas three them are exotic native species have substantially lower values. Increasing by enriching is recommended be top priority Jakarta. Additionally, shows adopting advanced user-friendly tools regularly monitor analyze helps achieve better
