立地りっち

解説 Definition

siting は、建物や施設などをどこに設置するか選ぶ過程、つまり「立地選定」を表す名詞です。

Siting is the process of choosing or determining the location for a building, facility, or piece of infrastructure. The decision commonly considers environmental effects, safety, access, noise, traffic, cost, and the concerns of nearby communities.

使い方 Usage

  • the siting of a school「学校の立地選定」や plant siting「工場の立地選定」の形で使います。 Use patterns such as the siting of a school and plant siting to refer to choosing a location.

使い分け Common distinctions

  • siting は場所を選ぶ過程、site は場所そのものを指します。sitting「座ること」、citing「引用すること」とも区別しましょう。 Siting refers to choosing a location; site can refer to the location itself. Distinguish it from sitting and citing, meaning referring to a source.

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip

site「設置場所を決める」の末尾の e を落として -ing を付けると siting。学校や工場を地図のどこに置くか選ぶ場面を思い浮かべましょう。

Drop the final e of site, meaning “to choose or determine a location,” and add -ing to form siting. Picture choosing a place for a school or factory on a map.

例文

新しい学校の立地選定には数か月かかりました。

地元住民はその工場の立地選定に関する会合に出席しました。

siting の類義語・関連語

siting の語源・成り立ち Etymology

動詞siteの名詞形で、siteはラテン語situs(位置・場所)に由来し、sinere(置く)が語根。situate(位置づける)やsituation(状況)が同根語。「場所を定める行為」が原義で、建物や施設の立地選定の意味に発展した。

Siting is the gerund of the verb site, formed by dropping the final e and adding -ing. Site comes through French from Latin situs, meaning “position, location, or situation,” historically related to sinere, “to put or place.” The verb developed the sense of locating or placing a building or facility. Related English words such as situation and situate preserve the same central idea of position or placement.
