How to reach an environmental Design?

Firstly:

Create a Pattern Observation:
1 - Translation patterns and classified into groups.
2 - Classified turning it into a form of the housing code.
3 - Later transformed into design standards in the future.

Also take the Social norms into account :
A- Data collection:
With a focus on hidden function of a particular behavior or perception.
B- Patterns analysis :
Vary in different societies and cultures.
C- Translate it into design standards.
D- Make decisions depending on the design criteria.

Example:
 Homes in South Carolina (for working class):
Children under six are usually play in the west of the house this necessitates a permanent place of mother's work (kitchen) to be in the west for a permanent surveillance of their children and this necessitates the presence of children in back yard games.
Children over six to adolescence are often allowed to drive bikes or skis on the streets near their homes unless there is crowded street.

By studying these patterns:
When planning for these children need to put some of the decisions:
1 - Playgrounds for children are located in a way that all houses are participating in the surveillance process .
They predicted that will transform the attention of the parents ..
2 - For the amateur cycling they developed play areas that are separated from the street and has only one entrance, plus security points to reduce the speed of cars.
