Etymology

The term 'siting' is derived from the word 'site', which has its roots in the Latin 'situs', meaning 'position' or 'location'. The transition to its modern usage occurred in the late 20th century, particularly within fields such as architecture, urban planning, and environmental science. As societies began to focus more on sustainable development and land use, the necessity for precise siting became apparent. 'Siting' gained prominence as a technical term, reflecting the increasing complexity and importance of location decisions in various projects. Its use has expanded to include a variety of contexts, reinforcing its relevance in contemporary discussions about development and resource allocation.
