needs for onsite utilities. The potential exists for alternative energy use in
many places, particularly solar- and wind-based energy systems. Good
sustainable siting considers these opportunities.
Separation of Support Facilities from Public Use Areas - Safety,
visual quality, noise, and odor are all factors that need to be considered
when siting support services and facilities. These areas need to be
separated from public use and circulation areas. In certain circumstances,
utilities, energy systems, and waste recycling areas can be a positive part
of the visitor experience
Proximity of Goods, Services, and Housing - Tourism developments
require the input of a variety of goods and services and often large staffs
for operation. Siting should consider the availability of these elements
and the costs involved in providing them.
Site Access
Site access refers to not only the means of physically
entering a sustainable development but also the en route
experience route. For example, the en route experience
could include transitions between origin and destination
with sequential gateways, or it could provide an
interpretive and/or educational experience. Other
considerations for enhancing the experience of accessing a
developed area include:
Select corridors to limit environmental impacts and control
development along the corridor leading to the facility.
