This document contains a site analysis for a proposed development project prepared by Group B. It includes sections on plans, existing structures, landscape, climate studies, soils, strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats analysis, circulation, views and vistas, activities, and a case study on a observation deck. Diagrams and charts provide information on sunlight, shadows, winds, tides, rainfall, temperatures, soil conditions, traffic, and more. It appears to be a comprehensive environmental and site conditions assessment to inform planning and design of the project.
47. LIGHT INTENSITY
These areas have a high
concentration of UV rays,
which, though beneficial to
the human body in short
amounts, can cause skin
cancer in prolonged
exposures.
48. SHADED AREAS
These shaded areas provide a
refuge from the sunlight, and
thus are shown to have a
noticeably lower temperature
than its surroundings; around
2-3 degrees Celsius difference.
56. TIDES (4:15PM)
The tides wax and wane due
to the pull of the moon’s
gravity. The speed of both
incoming and outgoing tides
are the same: 0.023m/s.
This can be dangerous for
those trapped by the rising
tide. Currents brought in by
the tide have been known
to pull unsuspecting victims
into the sea.
Drownings have occurred in
this area.
57. TIDES (4:47PM)
The tides wax and wane due
to the pull of the moon’s
gravity. The speed of both
incoming and outgoing tides
are the same: 0.023m/s.
This can be dangerous for
those trapped by the rising
tide. Currents brought in by
the tide have been known
to pull unsuspecting victims
into the sea.
Drownings have occurred in
this area.
60. TIDES (8:15PM)
Tides come and go every 6
hours, starting at 12AM
midnight.
At the start of each 6 hour
cycle, the tide rises at a rate
of 0.023m/s, engulfing the
cape. It then maintains its
present depth until the end
of its 6-hour cycle, when it
then recedes at the same
rate: 0.02m/s
62. HUMIDITY
At 100% humidity, the air has
reached its saturation point
and could no longer hold
any more moisture.
The air will feel heavier, and
people will sweat more.
Generally it is an unpleasant
experience.
64. TEMPERATURE VARIANCE BY HEIGHT
As the altitude increases, the
temperature decreases
noticeably due to lack of
radiation being reflected
from the ground.
Generally it is more
comfortable to build high.
66. SOIL CONDITION
This graph demonstrates the
characteristics of the soil, with different
diameters of particulate
demonstrating different behaviours.
Sedimentation is the tendency for
particles in suspension to settle out of
the fluid in which they are entrained,
and come to rest against a barrier.
Transportation is the displacement of
particles in a medium to another
location which is then deposited.
Erosion of soil occurs due to the
displacement of particles from its
parent medium.
67. S W O T
Sea breeze makes it
cooling during the day.
Safe site due to weak
tides and waves.
68. S W O T
High exposure of UV rays
due to sunlight.
Insulation difficulties due
to temperature
differences.
Soft and weak soil
condition.
69. S W O T
Potential for solar energy
exploitation.
Potential for beach
activities.
70. S W O T
Haze due to wind
blowing from Indonesia
during the South-west
Monsoon.
Contamination and
pollution from littering
and poor drainage.
Building corrosion due to
high salt content in air.
Erosion and major
settlement issues due to
soil condition.
71. C I R C U L A T I O N
PREPARED BY: SCHANI BHARAT & CO.
73. HAZARDS SOLUTION:
Hire security guard and
lifeguard services
Maintain cleanliness of
beach
Impose fines on
litterbugs.
Erect a notice board.
74. AVERAGE DAILY HUMAN DENSITY
Tends to stay near the
beach.
Most of the visitors gather
under the shaded trees.
More crowded to the
North-east, as that side
has more complete
facilities.
South-west is commonly
occupied by snail
hunters.
75. PARKING SITUATION STRENGTHS:
Avoids congestion on
main roads and
driveways.
WEAKNESSES:
Insufficient parking bays
during public holidays.
THREATS:
The size of the parking
bays are too small.
OPPORTUNITY:
Increase size and
quantity of bays.
83. HUMAN CIRCULATION TO BEACH
(FROM RESORT)
STRENGTHS:
Various access points.
WEAKNESSES:
Poor security.
THREATS:
Not wide enough
doors/entrance to way
to beach.
OPPORTUNITY:
Indication of direction to
beach and which beach
(sign boards)
87. BOAT EGRESS/INGRESS
STRENGTHS:
Boats are congested
during docking and
egress.
THREATS:
Ramp is not well
maintained, boat
docking stations poorly
indicated.
OPPORTUNITY:
Maintain external beach
interfaces, specific to the
public or private sector.
88. PROPOSED CIRCULATION PATH
IMPROVEMENT
STRENGTHS:
Amazing ambiance,
views and experience
Interaction with wildlife
WEAKNESSES:
Path is unsafe due to
forest and rubbish
Divergent pathways
No clear indications
OPPORTUNITY:
Create a “natural” deck
leading to main zone
A proper pathway
leading to entrance from
hotel.
Creates sense of
adventure.
