Green spaces have always played a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the urban ecosystem. However, very few scientific studies have focused on these spaces of high economic, social, and environmental value. This study was therefore conducted to characterize the types of urban forest management in the cities of Daloa and Bouaflé. To this end, a floristic inventory combining surface survey and mobile survey methods was carried out in all types of urban green spaces. Nine types of green spaces were identified in Daloa and eight in Bouaflé. The main results indicate a very high degree of similarity between the management types in these two localities, both in terms of floristic composition and management policies. These green spaces lack proper maintenance and are characterized by a mix of local and introduced plant species. The majority of these green spaces were created without a proper development plan, and a large number of plant species have regenerated naturally. However, planners generally favor exotic species for their aesthetic appeal, to the detriment of local plant species. This type of development raises numerous questions that warrant further investigation through additional studies in order to achieve a sustainable city model.

Lianescent plant species have generally been neglected in botanical research despite the fact that they represent one of the important components of the flora of tropical forests and are of great use to rural Ivorian populations. Based on this observation, this study focused on the use of lianas by the cocoa-producing populations of the South-West of Ivory Coast. Thus, to collect information on the characteristics of producers and on the use of lianas associated with cocoa-based agrosystems, a survey was carried out among cocoa farmers in the village of Djapadji. For this purpose, two hundred (200) cocoa producers were interviewed. The results of these interviews reveal that cocoa producers in our study area are dominated by men (87%), indigenous people (53%) and adults (30 to 45 years old). In addition, lianas are mainly used by populations for medical care (78%) and also for food (13%). Ultimately, this study showed that cocoa plantations are full of large quantities of lianas; which lianas are of capital importance in the daily life of the populations of the South-West of Côte d’Ivoire.

The present survey aims at establishing the influence of the dynamic of two arborescent Legumes trees of the Mimosaceae family (Albizia adiathifolia and Albizia zygia) on the woody forest, their evolution during the reconstitution of post-cultural flora. It was conducted at Oum
