<br /> SLOPE ORIENTATION
<br /> The micro-climate of areas with different slope orientations dif-
<br /> fer depending upon the effects of solar radiation and wind direction. East-
<br /> ern and southern slopes provide better habitats for people and plants since
<br /> they receive more solar heat in the winter and cooler breezes in the summer.
<br /> Northern and western slopes, on the other hand, receive less solar heat and
<br /> more cold wind in the winter. Development plans prepared on the basis of
<br /> the variations in micro-climate of different slopes could result in significant
<br /> reductions in heating and cooling costs,as well as conserving energy. Energy
<br /> conservation is a critical need today and will be even more so in the future.
<br /> Therefore, every effort should be made to conserve energy. For these reasons
<br /> it is suggested that the higher intensity development be located on southern
<br /> slopes and less intensive development on northern slopes.
<br /> The planning area was divided into eight categories on the basis
<br /> of slope orientation. In the physiographic summary for the planning area,
<br /> the eight groups were combined into two categories;warm slopes, including
<br /> eastern, southeastern, southern and southwestern;and cold slopes, including
<br /> northern, northeastern, western and northwestern.The following map shows .
