The ratio of total covered area of all floors to the area of the plot on which the building is to be built is known as:
-
A.
ground coverage
-
B.
floor area ratio
-
C.
built up area %
-
D.
carpet area %
Correct Answer:
B. floor area ratio
Explanation:
The correct answer is floor area ratio.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is a measurement used in urban planning to determine the relationship between the total usable floor area of a building and the total area of the plot on which it stands. It is calculated by dividing the gross floor area of all levels by the land area. This metric helps local governments regulate building density and ensure that the infrastructure can support the population within a specific zone. By controlling the FAR, authorities can manage the scale of construction, ensuring that buildings do not overwhelm the available land or local services.
