What is site planning?
The art of arranging structures on the land and shaping the spaces between; an art linked to architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and city planning. (Kevin Lynch)
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 and pedestrian circulation, developing visual form and material concepts, readjusting the existing landforms by design grading, providing proper drainage, and developing the construction details necessary to carry out the projects. (Harvey M. Rubenstein)
Methods of establishing a site
Site selection process – selecting a site that best suits the given use and requirements of the project;
Development suitability process – selecting the best use and development suited for a given site.

Natural Factors
Geology The natural science that studies the
earth – its composition; the process that shaped its surface; and its history.
-Igneous Rocks
-Sedimentary Rocks
-Metamorphosed Rocks

Natural Factors
Geomorphology The branch of geology that deals
with the origin, nature, and distribution of landforms.
- Physiography – refers to the description of landforms
- Landforms – Irregularities on the earth’s surface, derived from volcanic, glacial, or erosion process.

Natural FactorsHydrology The natural science that studies
waters on earth, their occurrence and distribution, their chemical and physical properties, and their reaction to the living environment including their relation to all living things.-Hydrologic cycle – the movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere to the continents and back to the sea.-Water table – the upper boundary of the zone of groundwater; the top of unconfined aquifer.

Wildlife Relates closely to habitats provided
by plant communities.
- Openland wildlife
- Woodland wildlife
- Wetland wildlife

Factors involved in the study of site analysis
Natural Factors
Climate conditions of the atmosphere at a
particular location over a long period of time; it is the long-term summation of the atmospheric elements (and their variations) that, over short time periods, constitute weather.
- Solar orientation
- Best-facing slopes
- Wind flows
