The land use coefficient, also known as the floor area ratio, is a measure used in urban planning to determine the maximum amount of floor area that can be built on a specific plot of land. It is calculated by dividing the total floor area of a building by the total area of the land on which it is built. This coefficient is used to regulate the density and intensity of development in a particular area, ensuring that land is used efficiently and in accordance with zoning regulations. A higher land use coefficient indicates a more densely developed area, while a lower coefficient allows for more open space and lower building density. This term is commonly used by city planners, architects, and developers to guide the design and construction of buildings in urban areas.
