Definition
Site planning is the art and science of arranging the structures on the land and shaping the spaces between, an arts of arranging activities in
SPACE
and
TIME USES
of land linked to architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, and city planning. Site plans locate objects and . These plans may concern a small cluster of houses, a single building and its grounds, or something as extensive as a small community built in a single operation.

Scope of work
No matter sites are large or small, they must be viewed as part of the total environment.
Site Planners designate the uses of land in detail by
selecting
and
analyzing
sites,
forming
land use plans,
designing
grading, projects.
organizing

Related profession
Site planning is professionally exercised directly by landscape architects, but there are related profession involved which are architects, urban and regional planners, engineers.
On larger commissions the landscape architect often serve as a member of a closely coordinated professional team, which includes architects, engineers, planners, and scientist-advisors.

Environment and quality of life
Site planning is the organization of the external physical environment to accommodate human behavior. It deals with the qualities and locations of structures, land, activities and living things. It creates a pattern of those elements in space and time, which will be subject to continuous future management and change.

Brief History
Four basic models of site planning in history
1.Fixing the place 2.Defining the enclosure 3.Sense of order 4.Form of axial Fixing the space Defining the enclosure Sense of order /Apinya/KMUTTarc354intro to site planning The form of axial 9/3/2004 7
Brief History
The image and form of the object building are capable of fixing a place 9/3/2004 Fixing the space /Apinya/KMUTTarc354intro to site planning 8
Brief History
A collection of independent structures, which although unattached, create a coherent image of place Defining the enclosure 9/3/2004 /Apinya/KMUTTarc354intro to site planning 9
Brief History
The form of a building can be such that a place may be fixed by the enclosure of the facades Sense of order 9/3/2004 /Apinya/KMUTTarc354intro to site planning 10
Brief History
Although the kinetic implications of the word “path” are somewhat contradictory, paths are nonetheless capable of forming coherent, meaningful images.
