Urban forestry provides a number of benefits for the environment and society, however, strategic planning is necessary so that the needs are met and the species are best adapted to the desired location. This study aims to use the techniques of geoprocessing applied to urban forestry, in order to perform a survey and evaluation of the individuals present in the main access roads to the city of Ibimirim - PE, in order to provide a database for the construction of a specific Urban Forestry Manual for the municipality. The data collection was carried out in April 2022, under the route of its main roads in the city, all individuals that were on the margins, in central beds or public squares located along this route were inventoried, through a Census inventory and with the use of a field form. Trees, shrubs, cacti and bushes were georeferenced using SurveyCam software available for smartphones, providing decimal longitude and latitude coordinates in order to create thematic maps with the arrangement of individuals through GIS. Through this collection, 412 individuals were inventoried, represented by 14 species, 14 genera and 09 botanical families, where 97% are trees, of these trees 81% are in the adult stage and 16% with drastic pruning, the care of the individuals observed in loco, were performed by the local population.
