Planning 1 Module 1

The document discusses site planning and its general process. It defines site planning as arranging structures on land and shaping spaces between. The objectives of site planning are to identify problems that may arise from the relationship between people and land, decide best locations for land uses, and identify site users and activities. Site planning considers both the interests of society and developers/clients and aims to accommodate land development while reducing environmental impacts. The process involves site selection, analysis of physical and natural constraints, and balancing user needs with environmental conservation in the proposed site plan.

“The art and science of arranging the uses of


portions of land”
These uses are designated in detail by:
 selecting and analyzing sites,
 forming land use plans,
 organizing vehicular & pedestrian circulation,
 developing visual form and material concepts,
 readjusting the existing landforms,
 providing proper drainage,
 developing the construction details
- Harvey M. Rubenstein

SITE PLANNING

Site planning is the organization of the


external physical environment to accommodate
human behavior.

Site Planning creates a pattern of numerous


elements in space and time, which will be subject
to continuous future management and change.

The critical thinking process of research,


analysis, and synthesis that makes a major
contribution to the formation of design
decisions.

SITE PLANNING
5

 Every site is a unique interconnected web of


things and activities that imposes limitations and
offers possibilities.

 A site or project/planning area varies in size,


location and characteristics.

Site Concepts and Principles

 A site in its own right is a living, changing


community of plants and animals.

 Knowledge of the site is vital in planning especially


in mitigating competing or conflicting interests
between potential users and neighborhood or
existing conditions.

Site Concepts and Principles


7

 The site and its intended purpose are closely


interrelated.

 Understanding the site to define or establish the


essential character or nature of the site or “the
spirit of the place”

Site Concepts and Principles

 Understanding the site has two branches


– one oriented to the users’ and the
other to the site itself.

Site Concepts and Principles


9

- to provide a means of identifying and


understanding problems that may arise from the
relationship between man and the land
- to decide the best location of each land use and
each activity at site
- to identify who are the users and the activities
they would likely want to do

Objectives of Site Planning

8/24/2020

- to provide the site’s physical, social,


environmental, cultural/political analysis, in order to
decide what the changes aim to achieve
- to influence the appearance of the site by
developing appropriate landscape types and using
suitable landscape management methods
- to work out the details on the cost of
implementing and managing the project on the
land

Objectives of Site Planning


11

- no one particular viewpoint is considered


- “multi-dimensional” viewpoint
- comprehensive and holistic solution
- think through all the problem that are likely to be
associated with developing the site

Essence of Site Planning

8/24/2020

- Site planning attempts to consider the site in


relation to the interest of society as a whole as
well as those of the developer/client when
determining what activities should or should not
happen on the land with the least possible
adverse effect on the environment as a whole

Essence of Site Planning


13

- Economic and social issues factored in to


accommodate the interest of developers

- final decision-maker would be the developer


guided by:
a. policy – CLUP, laws, ordinances
b. systems and procedures
c. financial
d. market demand

Essence of Site Planning

- focus on the analysis of the physical and natural


environment to determine constraints to land
development

- Site planning can help to reduce long term


management cost associated with operating on a
site.

planning in history
1.Fixing the place
2.Defining the enclosure

building(s) are capable of
fixing a place

Fixing the space

Brief History
Defining the enclosure

a. Site Selection Process


b. Development Suitability Process

Site Planning

and the need to ensure the conservation and
enhancement of the natural environment.
