Reviewer 2 Report

This article describes an example of this lasting tension in the context of public enjoyment in the open air.

 

In this process, this paper tends to present only two extremes. For example, there are natural and man-made playgrounds, beautiful street trees and trees that block the driver's view.

 

In addition to this dichotomous approach, it is believed that reviewing and supplementing the content from an appropriate point of view can present better research results.

As an example, it would be a better explanatory data to present a harmonious case in which nature and artificial parts to be presented as a conclusion are combined and presented in a picture. Real photos or schematic images can help.

Reviewer 3 Report

Interesting ariticle as the work introduces mew dimension around  compensatory decision process  on the aspect of health benefits and risks., However;  

i. Section 2: Materials and methods. Line 62-65, a quick check on the two reference materials cited here [21&22] revealed they are not available for  access on public domain based on this, it will be much better for the authors to provide brief run down of  the  methods to ensure the aundience have completed picture around the methods. 

ii. In furtherance considering  there are reference to individual partcipation in the process i.e. 3.3. The management of trees , line 156, this further demonstrate the need to extend  on the method decription to accomodate each. 

iii. Considering that the study also involved human partcipation, it will be approariate for the authors to provide update on ethical clearance prior to the data collection. 

iv. The work can benefir from further proof read to  improve the quality and appeal more the target audience.
