Synopsis

The process of site analysis is fundamental to most projects in landscape design, architecture, urban planning and land management. It is a method of identifying problems that arise from the inter-relationship between people and the land. This book ensures that all involved in making land use and land management decisions are aware of the link between the physical environment, nature and what man has done, and can do on any area of land - if environmental damage and the long term costs of managing the new landscapes are to be kept to a minimum. It gives an introduction to site planning which shows landscape architects and planners and developers how their particular expertise fits into the total scope of site planning. Armed with this practical book, the environmental planner will have a check-list to use when carrying out surveys, drawing up ideas and producing the final site plans. The layout of the book is concise and practical and set out as a working tool. Its many illustrations, plans, flowcharts and check-lists make it a highly accessible and relevant book for students and practitioners in a wide range of disciplines.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Environmental planning forms the basis of all site development decisions and deals with the factors that must be considered before a site plan can be drawn up. Environmental Planning for Site Development emphasizes the man/nature interface and explains how nature limits and controls what can happen on every piece of land. The text is clearly set out and will help the reader understand exactly what information is needed for a site planning proposal. The book includes a live case study to demonstrate how GIS systems are now assisting in the design and decision process as communities increasingly participate in local decisions. (Local Agenda 21)
