PROCESS

OF SITE
ANALYSIS
PREPARED BY: EWAY, JOHN RICK
 What is site
analysis?
Site analysis is a preliminary phase of architectural
and urban design processes dedicated to the study
of the climatic, geographical, historical, legal, and
infrastructural context of a specific site.
 What is the
purpose of a
site analysis?
The aim of Site Analysis is to provide an
understanding of the site, in terms of its context,
constraints and opportunities. It allows the
designer to use the site to its best potential and
take advantage of the resources available such as
sunlight, views, access etc

LOCATION
where the site is situated. Neighbourhood context –
the immediate surrounding of the site including data
on zoning and buildings and other impacts on our
project. Zoning and size – dimensional
considerations such as boundaries, easements, height
restrictions, site area, access along with any further
plans.

CLIMATE
The specific characteristics of the site are analyzed
only after one has a good understanding of the
macroclimate and general climatic characteristics
which give an overview of the climate for your
region.

CLIMATE
• Weather and temperature: Summer days
are usually warm and pleasant with average
temperature between 15 and 25° C ( 59 and
77° F), and a fair amount of sunshine. In
sunshine is scare ; days are cool, and nights
are cold but generally above freesing with
low temperatures around 19° C ( 37 °F).

• Rain the city of davao is known for

intermittent and heacy showers.
ACCESSIBILITY
current provisions of disabled access to the site and
how will this need to be considered. Circulation –
how do visitors/pedestrians/traffic to or near the
site flow around or within it. Vegetation –
landscaping, greenery, shrubs and trees, open
spaces.

ACCESSIBILITY

• A very good mechanical and pedrstrian

accessibilty, the site is sorrouded by ' Riuet'
road from nort and flandre avenue from the
east
• the project site is sorrounded by pedrstrian
paths and residential buildings, causing a
high pedestrian flow and accessibility.
NOISE
Noise in buildings is produced by the stimulation of
airborne or structure-borne noise, which is caused by
talking, music, walking across ceilings and up and
down stairs (impact noise), or by the operation of
building service installations such as wastewater
systems, energy supply and heating systems,
ventilation and etc.
