Ecological Considerations in Site

Planning
Beyond the surface of site planning, certain things like ecological considerations take a huge part
in the whole process of site planning. Paying a close attention to the site's geography, climate,
and orientation will help us plan accurately.
Geology helps us to determine the good in a site and regards the sustainability and versatility of
the site. Soil composition is also considered for us to know the land use and what development to
plan. Not just the behavior of the soil but also the water should be considered. Below the ground
along with the soil, the water might also affect the site since it is also a part of nature. Drainage
systems require thorough study of the site's hydrology. Of course, talking about ecology,
vegetation is also relevant since it plays a huge role in the site. Climatic control, air filtration, and
aesthetic uses are those what we can use of the plants. Knowing the right types of plants to plant
on the site is also important so it will be able to aid the downsides of the local climate or the
microclimate. Orientation of the building should also be considered since it will affect the
functionality of the building. The interior plan and the workflow inside depends on it. A careful
and thorough planning needs to consider all of these to be able to provide a useful and eco-
friendly development.
By means of designing considering the ecological factors, it is harmonizing with the nature and
the surroundings. In site planning, there should also be a give and take. Building a man-made
structure not only ends in mere construction but having a good relationship with the
environment.
