Requirements for a Practical Site Layout Planning Tool
In academic contexts, tools developed for site layout planning (SLP) have focused on optimization models, site layout visualization tools, and location-allocation decision-support systems. In the last thirty years, more than a hundred studies have been conducted in this area. However, there is no evidence of using these tools and models in practice. A recent exploratory investigation by the authors among industry practitioners confirmed that most construction site planning is still executed using intangible, non-measurable techniques such as experience, judgment, and observation. Site planners commonly utilize commercially available software such as computer-aided drawing, visualization, or editing tools as support to visualize or mark-up site drawings. The aim of this study is to identify the requirements of practitioners for a practical SLP tool. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among forty-seven industry practitioners. Data analysis techniques include coding, labeling, and categorization to derive themes that identify the requirements of planners and final users. The analysis of the results is expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the critical requirements for a practical SLP tool. Since these requirements are directly collected from the practitioners, they are expected to facilitate providing a comprehensive tool design for future research developments in SLP.
