Checklist Site Analysis - Semester 7
There are main points and sub categories which need to be analyzed through site
visit.
● Historic evolution and relationship of site with respect to larger locality and
city
- topography map, relief map and land profile of the site (analyzing
contours through site sections and different maps)
Green systems
Blue systems
Morphological characteristics
● Existing and proposed land use zoning/plan analysis for the area
● Proposed city development plans for the area
● Distribution of built and open around the site
● Structure of public spaces and streets around in and around the site
● Analysis of land value with respect to the development pattern of
Kalamassery

● Edge conditions and types
● Byelaws applicable for the site - (checking if the site falls under any

spaces, coverage, FAR, CRZ areas etc)
Functional structure
● Networks of transportation
● Road hierarchies
● Street characteristics with respect to the site precinct
● Public transportation facilities
● Major nodes and activity anchors in and around the site
● Pedestrian movement pattern and its intensity within the site (if any
existing) and around the site

● Aspirations, needs of the different people
Note
❖ All the expected outcomes have to be analysis and inferences of the place
and not the documentation and data collection of the place.
❖ Different types of maps and mapping techniques needs to be explored by
students
❖ Sections, diagrams have to be made to support the analysis
