Site Analysis

1. Site Analysis Site visit : the feel of the land Systematic site analysis procedure Site analysis in larger scale /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

2. Site visit the feel of the land • Site investigation made concurrent with the formulation of program objectives ensures the flexibility of the site,site potential and the integration of its natural and cultural features with the design. • Gathering information for site analysis • Site visit • Resource research • Questioning and interview • interrelating data • Recording site’s danger signal and site’s pleasurable qualities. /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

3. Region 20-100 miles Vicinity 5-20 miles Area 0-5 miles The site and environs. Extensional aspects of a site /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

4. Site visit information gathering • Before going to the site • site map or master plan,surrounding map, transportation network map, basic data, and prepare questions ….questions. • At the site • observations, taking a photo, taking notes of site records, interview the users and surrounding people and FEEL the site atmosphere, let the questions and ideas flow into mind ….record them • After the site visit • graphically express the record, research for supporting data, sketching the site analysis and questions about site • recheck the information • visit the site again or find some supporting data. /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

5. Site analysis • Site analysis, theprocess of understanding existing site qualities, considers factors that determine a site-character, the purposes each factors serves, the location of each factor, the category into which each factor will fit in the design process. • A resource analysis is to determine site opportunities and/or constraints which should be emphasize on the site’s relationship to the total environment and its special values and potentials. /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

6. Regional influences & site surrounding Accessibility & the project site Topographic survey Site analysis map Site potential Schematic plan Site plan (conceptual plan) Master site plan Site plan Comprehensive Land Planning /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

7. Systematic Site Analysis procedure • Regional influences • the project site • topographic surveys • site analysis map • base map • site potential • The conceptual plan • relationship diagram, abstract diagram • site -structure diagram or Zoning plan • conceptual site plan (schematic I, II, …) • site plan development /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

8. Systematic Site Analysis graphic (suggestion) • Site surrounding and accessibility • topographic analysis ---slope analysis • drainage pattern • natural factors ---climate, site danger, existing vegetation and habitats • man- made factors ---existing constructions and road • visual analysis • site potential • schematic design /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

9. Topographic survey • Bench marks • Contour lines • Water bodies • Tree groves /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

10. Site analysis map • Good/disturbed views • Surrounding condition and accessibility condition • Existing vegetation and land uses evaluation • Restrictions and regulations related to site. • Utility supply. /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

11. Schematic plan • Proposed uses with approximate scale. • Proposed of site developing (I.e.grading, flood protection) • Proposed of keeping or moving existing bldg. • Proposed of circulation order. /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic

12. Conceptual Site plan • Design development plan /Apinya/KMUTTsite planning graphic
