At Peace Builders, site planning involves
the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation, privacy,
security, shelter, land drainage, and other factors. This is done by
arranging the compositional elements of landform, planting, water,
buildings and paving and building in site plans.
Site planning generally begins by assessing a potential site for
development through site analysis. Information about slope, soils,
hydrology, vegetation, parcel ownership, orientation, etc. are assessed
and mapped. By determining areas that are poor for development (such
as floodplain or steep slopes) and better for development, the planner
or architect can assess optimal location and design a structure that
works within this space.
