	To provide suitable sites and shelter, in order to accommodate refugees in emergencies. Principles of response (...) • Involve refugees in all phases of settlement layout and shelter design and construction. • Use a bottom-up planning approach, beginning with the smallest social units, preserving traditional social arrangements and structures as far as possible. (...) The UN Refugee Agency, Handbook for Emergencies	self contained community-- Site planning: general considerations / recommendations The overall physical layout of a site should relect a decentralized com- munity-based approach, focusing on family, community or other social groups. Site planning should use the “bottom- up“ approach starting from the char- acteristics and needs of the individual families, and relect the wishes of the community as much as possible through participatory assessment. Each community should be planned to include its own immediate serv- ices, such as latrines, showers, water- points, garbage collection and cloth washing facilities. This is to promote ownership, which will lead to better maintenance of facilities by the com- munity. Ensure communities are not a closed form, e.g. square-shaped, but resem- bling more of a H-shape, where both sides are open for better interaction with other communities.
