Permaculture Techniques - Sectors By planning the site according to sector analysis the permaculture designer is able to manage and fully utilise any energy entering the site. This means controlling and directing energies to maximise yields, and requires careful observation of the energies before structures and terra forming are begun. All of the "wild" energies (sun, water flow, fire, wind, rain) flow through the system, generated from outside. The direction these energies enter the site are called the sectors and can be positioned on a site map to show their intensity and compass direction. Many of the energies we will wish to "harvest", others will be needed to be deflected or excluded. We can place elements to serve these needs, for example a windbreak will deflect strong cold winds, or a pond can reflect light enabling greater yields through increased photosynthesis. In designing permaculture systems each element is placed according to both zonal and sector considerations. The more functions an element has the more efficient the system becomes. The main factor in this process is careful consideration of the available energy on site. See also:
