09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process2 Environmental scale ► Nature versus man-made must be balance, we want to be comfortable in the same time must be suitable for the nature capacity. nature manmade Program development site selection Planning development

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process3 The example of site planning process ► The best site plans are a unique response to the land and program ► The planner begins by analyzing the future use and users, on one hand, and the given site, on the other.  The problem is set out  Principle objectives of the work are stated  Expected users and their needs are stated  The site is chosen  The type of development and activity intended to occupy it  New environment character has been proposed  Budget, time and resources has been provided

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process7 Basic process in site planning ► OBJECTIVE AND POLICY ► PROGRAM FORMING ► LOCATING ACTIVITIES TO SITE AREA ► LINKING THOSE ACTIVITIES TOGETHER ► SITE PLAN

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process8 Objective and policy ► Major policy  Comes from needs of the client ► Law and regulation  Statement of constraints ► Ultimate goal  Dreams of client and designer

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process9 Program Forming ► List of activities  1. Policy ► Flexibility for future growth  2. Users ► Who. What, when, where and how  3. Site potential / Site possibility ► Quality of space ► Quantity of space  4. Economic, Budget, Fund ► How to select and form the suitable program

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process10 Quantity of space ► How big is the site ► how many people/car ► how big is the area requirement for each activities Quality of space ► Project goal ► Physical requirement and limitation ► Psychological requirement ► Aesthetic Site capacity

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process11 Quality of space  1. Site Potentials -- How can each portion of land best be used?  2. Site Problem -- What must be careful of, renew, or improve?  3. Site Amenities -- What features are unique, pleasurable, or scarce and should be reserved for all to use  4. Site Danger signal -- What area should be avoided because of excessive development costs of potential problem such as creek, bog, flood land, steep slope. ► Site quality can be categorized into design considerations, which become the primary site analysis directions:

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process12 Locating activities to site area ► Proximity ► Conflicting activities ► Orientation ► Interrelation of space and activities ► Social space for interaction

09/03/2004/Apinya/KMUTTarc354site planning process13 Linking activities together ► Organization of space and mass ► Circulation ► Landscaping
