This document provides a site analysis for a coastal area. It includes sections on existing structures, landscape features, climate studies, views and vistas, circulation patterns, and proposed activities. Plans and diagrams show the location, contours, vegetation, and tide patterns. Climate data includes sunlight, shadows, winds, rainfall, humidity and temperature variations. Soil conditions and erosion risks are also evaluated. The landscape offers views of the sea but access is limited in some areas. Proposed improvements could enhance safety and the visitor experience.

50. 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.

51. 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.

59. 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.

60. 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.

61. TIDES (5:27PM)

62. TIDES (6:40PM)

63. 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

64. RAINFALL

65. 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.

66. TEMPERATURE

67. 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.

68. SOIL CONDITION

69. 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.

76. HAZARDS
SOLUTION:
Hire security guard and
lifeguard services
Maintain cleanliness of
beach
Impose fines on
litterbugs.
Erect a notice board.

77. 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.

78. PARKING SITUATIONSTRENGTHS:
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.
