The formula to calculate the Plot Ratio (PR) is:
\[ PR = \frac{TFA}{SA} \]
Where:
Plot ratio, also known as floor area ratio (FAR), is a key determinant in urban planning that helps to control the density of buildings in a given area. It is the ratio of a building’s total floor area to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built. This ratio is used by planners to ensure a balance between the built environment and open space, and to manage the intensity of land use in urban areas.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Plot Ratio (PR):
\[ PR = \frac{TFA}{SA} = \frac{5000}{2000} = 2.5 \]
The Plot Ratio (PR) is 2.5.
