This document provides an overview of the key considerations for developing a physical planning master plan for a tourism destination. It outlines the various area characteristics that should be mapped, including location, natural environment, topography, wildlife, coastal/marine areas, geology, ecological systems, natural resources, historical influences, sociocultural and economic patterns, land use and settlement patterns, environmental quality, tourist markets, existing tourist facilities and services, and transportation and other infrastructure. The goal is to understand the physical, natural, and socioeconomic attributes of the area to inform dividing developable and undevelopable land and sustainable destination development.

3. Area Characteristic (AREA MAPPING)

4. Location
specified and mapped -> for consideration-> major tourist market1

5. Natural environment
Climate pattern include rainfall, humidity, extent of sunshine (or cloudiness), fog, wind speed
and direction, and seasonal variations. -> for consideration -> a major type of tourist
attraction.

6. Topograpy
surface features of the land, particularly the land consfigurations and slope such
as flat, hilly, mountainous areas, and the hydrography of lakes, rivers and wetlands
(swarmps, and so forth)-> for dividing line between developable and undevelopable
land : flooding, erosion, landslides.
