Development Suitability Process

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

Refers to the soil’s ability to transfer gravity water downward, and that the soil is not conducive to prolonged periods of saturation

Good drainage

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

It is when the soil is frequently or permanently saturated and may have water standing on it. This maybe caused by local accumulation of surface water, or rise in the level of groundwater within the soil because the soil particles are too small to transmit infiltration

Poor Drainage

Wind, solar orientation, humidity

Climate

Vegetation

Endangered of threatened species and habitats

Wildlife

Two pronounced seasons, dry from November to April, and wet during the rest of the year. Maximum rain period is from June to September

Type I

No dry season with a very pronounced maximum rain period from December to February. There is not a single dry month. Minimum monthly rainfall occurs during the period from March to May.

Type II

No very pronounced maximum rain period, with a short dry season lasting only from one to three months, either during the period from December to February or from March to May. This climate type resembles type I since it has a short dry season.

Type III

Rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year. This climate type resembles the second type more closely since it has no dry season.

Type IV

Four types of Climate

Cold Temperate Hot arid Hot humid

Topography, surface materials, plant cover, location of structures, and presence or absence of water have striking impact on the microclimate

(known as the habagat) from May to October

Southwest monsoon

(known as the amihan) from November to early May.

Northeast monsoon

It shows a complex of physical and cultural features.

General Map

It is a graphical representation of a place or particular phenomena or themes in an area

Maps

It shows the legal lines (boundaries, easements), utilities, roads, paths.

Base Map

Study area in relation to the province/region or important reference points/radius of influence

Vicinity Map

It shows a particular information needed for analysis purposes; derived from original thematic maps and is a translation/interpretation of base data into customized categories such as severe flooding, severe erosion, steep slopes, etc.

Aspect Map

Depicts a single feature, represents a single item or subject

Thematic Map

It is a synthesis of two or more variables/thematic maps

Analytical Map

* Erosion Potential * Flooding Hazard * Land Capability * Soil Suitability * Development Constraints

Thematic Map

‣ Topography Map ‣ Climate ‣ Hydrogeology ‣ Slope ‣ Soil ‣ Land Classification ‣ Infrastructure ‣ Cadastral ‣ Land Values ‣ Population Density

selects a site that suits best the given use and requirements of the project; based on an established criteria

Site Selection Process

selects the best use and development suited for a given site; site analysis using various tools and procedures

Development Suitability Process

Site analysis involves studying the site in terms of various factors, namely:

(1) natural (2) cultural (3) aesthetic

SITE PLANNING PROCESS

DATA GATHERING ORGANIZING CIRCULATION DEVELOPING VISUAL FORM READJUSTING LANDFORMS

Who outlines an eight-stage site planning cycle that includes the following: * Defining the problem * Programming and the analysis of site and user * Schematic design and the preliminary cost estimate * Developed design and detailed costing * Contract documents * Bidding and contracting * Construction * Occupation and management

Kevin Lynch

* Conceptual Design * Preliminary Design * Site Plan / Master Plan

Synthesis

Site Analysis and Site Inventory (Survey)

Analysis (site assessment)

Topography and Slopes Most developable

0-2%

Topography and Slopes Easily accommodates most categories of development

2-8%

Topography and Slopes Some development restrictions; upper limits for roads and walks

8-16%

Topography and Slopes Significant restrictions to most development

16-24%

Topography and Slopes Generally restricted for development

24%+

The bridging step between the analysis and synthesis or design phases.

Program Development

He defines the program as composed of the four “P’s”

Kevin Lynch

four “P’s”

- Population - Packaging - Performance - Patterns

Refers to the actual user who may or may not be the client per se.

Population

It involves the type and quantities of elements that will be provided in the design.

Packaging

standards set the quality of elements expected, whether in terms of materials or function.

Performance

refer to general physical relationships that should be achieved.

Patterns

While the analysis is based upon a basic program concept, the potential of the site for development influences the planner’s ultimate program recommendations. The program should include:

* A statement of goals that the project should achieve. * A list of project objectives by which these goals will be accomplished. * A list of project elements that will be included and a description or analysis of their interrelationships.
