2.1.1 Micro Site Analysis
Topography Map
Slope map and slope profile: slope categories and slope characteristics of the site.
The slope profile or section of site influences building patterns and shows areas
which are buildable and not. These data will also determine the type of structural
system for the proposed project.
Surface drainage run-off pattern: roadway pattern and areas not suited for location

of structures.
Vegetation Map: existing vegetations on the site that needs to be preserved

Orientation: reference to the sun. Sun path analysis is critical in the design and
massing of the structure/s.

3. User Analysis

2.1.1.4 User Analysis

Demographic data of Expected Users


Statistical data of major users/clients/visitors of the
proposed facilities
Statistical data coverage depends on the projected users.
Is the project municipal, provincial, regional, or national?
Specific sector of the population to be targeted must be identified. Is it the students?

Tourists (foreign or local)? The economically disadvantaged? Or anybody?


Are you going to target the whole population or only percentage of it?
Organizational Structure : the hierarchy of the people who
shall manage the
site project after its completion. The source of the proposed organizational

chart/structure must be indicated.


4. Laws/Ordinances (pertaining to the site)
Zoning regulations; related laws/ordinances (BPs, HLURB guidelines, etc.) as to
setbacks, open space requirements, floor area ration, height of building, parking

space requirements.
Maximum building envelope as set by laws/zoning ordinances.
Architectural character, etc.
Building laws and ordinances in the locality
Building height limitation
Maximum allowable lot area coverage
Minimum size of yard and court required
Zoning ordinances
Required building setbacks
Proposed street widening
Finish grade line required
Proposed upgrading of street elevation
Structural limitations
5. Site Development Options

Based on the analysis of the site, site development options/alternatives are presented

for in-depth study.


From these options, the final site development plan will be chosen.
The study must include the following:

Location/arrangement of the building/s on the site.


Form/volume/building envelop depending on the surrounding areas, terrain and
orientation.
Landscaping approach/concept
Site development concept

Show Schemes and corresponding analysis (graphical/narrative) for each of the


scheme.
