Definition
Site planning is the art and science of arranging the structures on the land and shaping the spaces between, an arts of arranging USES of land linked to architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, and city planning. Site plans locate objects and activities in SPACE and TIME. These plans may concern a small cluster of houses, a single building and its grounds, or something as extensive as a small community built in a single operation.

Scope of work
No matter sites are large or small, they must be viewed as part of the total environment.
No matter sites are large or small, they must be viewed as part of the total environment.
Site Planners designate the uses of land in detail by selecting and analyzing sites, forming land use plans, organizing vehicular and pedestrian circulation, designing visual form and materials concepts, readjusting the existing landforms by design grading, providing proper drainage, and finally developing the construction details necessary to carry out their projects.

Related profession
Site planning is professionally exercised directly by landscape architects, but there are related profession involved which are architects, urban and regional planners, engineers.
On larger commissions the landscape architect often serve as a member of a closely coordinated professional team, which includes architects, engineers, planners, and scientist-advisors.

6. Environment and quality of life
Site planning is the organization of the external physical environment to accommodate human behavior. It deals with the qualities and locations of structures, land, activities and living things. It creates a pattern of those elements in space and time, which will be subject to continuous future management and change.

Brief History
Four basic models of site planning in history
1.Fixing the place

Brief History
Defining the enclosure
A collection of independent structures, which although unattached, create a coherent image of place

Brief History
Although the kinetic implications of the word “path” are somewhat contradictory, paths are nonetheless capable of forming coherent, meaningful images.

The model of Site planning process
In site planning, as in other forms of problem solving, the critical thinking process of research, analysis, and synthesis makes a major contribution to the formation of design decisions process.
