Figure 10 – Conceptual site zoning

Figure 10 : Conceptual site zoning
The selected area is divided into three zones, named by the famous craters and moon. Landing

pad is situated away from the settlements to avoid debris flowing inside and the rover path runs
)
along the habitat belt providing easy transit between landing pad and habitat belt. Mining belt

is the final stage of development in the colonization process, in this research the habitat

settlement is explored with different possibilities. The site provides easy access to nearby

craters making it possible to explore the lunar surface. There are two types of zoning, one on
the global scale responding to the moon’s condition and environment. Second being the local

response according to the need of the cluster development, The habitat belt has clusters of

modules which consist of the living module, labs, green zone and Elysium (communal space).
