This study investigates the waiting and resting behaviors of children within a restorative healthcare facility design. In particular, the aim is to compare children with and without disabilities and reveal similarities and differences in terms of their behavioral characteristics and uses of design facilities, related to positive distraction, for restoration in the hospital. Three major common spaces for outpatients in S children's hospital in Seoul were examined including the main lobby and two waiting and resting spaces in the pediatric and rehabilitation medicine departments, respectively. A total of 155 children under the age of 12-67 with physical disabilities and 88 without-were observed while they waited and rested at the three spaces before or after doctors' examination. Basic demographic information and waiting and resting behavioral characteristics were compared between the two groups. The results indicated that the disabled children were more restricted in terms of space, facilities used, and social behaviors. However, regardless of disabilities, the children showed more positive distractions related to cognitive and social behaviors in areas where restorative design elements such as an aquarium, garden, or visual images were available. Based on the results, design implications were discussed to strengthen positive distraction behaviors in children with and without disabilities and to foster the restorative quality of the spaces for waiting and resting in the children's hospital.

There are more and more citizens suffering from severe fatigue, and they wish to escape from it and spend their leisure time for healing. As a result, buildings and complexes are being constructed nationwide with healing as their theme. Particularly, they tend to build facilities with concepts like a spa, beauty, healing, meditation, nature, or forest healing. The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of healing environment and the nationwide tendencies of building facilities with healing as their theme and also investigate the planning characteristics of complexes and architecture with three representative complexes as examples. Complexes intended for healing have immersion into nature being freed from one's routine as their concept. When planning the flow of human traffic within the complexes, they try to obtain the autonomy of choice as well as the diversity of space and experiential factors in order to provide opportunities for experiencing nature. In the complexes selected for a case study here, they have planned the factors of physical environment that are associated with one another based on architectural education programs using red clay, programs specializing poetry, and healing programs using food. Typically, this is centered around outdoor experiential space, indoor meditation and education space, or fitness space. Also, it is characterized by the planning of physical environment and the complex operation of programs. Particularly, public space is divided into communal space, resting space, and health and treatment space, and health/resting space is mainly intended for health and exercise, for example, fitness, spas, or jjimjilbang (Korean dry saunas). Also, it is characterized by the planning of pitched roofs harmonized with nature and also facade planning that can positively adopt the factors of natural environment.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the nurses' needs for the spatial composition of geriatric hospital. Methods : The survey method was used for collecting the data. The subjects were 110 nurses who worked at 6 geriatric hospitals in Busan. They answered the questionnaire by the self-administered method. The questionnaire consisted of items which asked the spatial composition of patient room, bathroom, dining space, resting space, care-givers' room, and garden. Results : 1) The patient room using a bed on ondol floor would be useful. Also, it would be desirable that most patient rooms consisted of 4 or 6 persons per patient room and the others were 1 or 2 persons per room. 2) The bathroom for only patients and the shower room for their families or care-givers are needed in the geriatric hospital. 3) The dining room for patients in each floor would be useful to old patients. In addition to that, the cafeteria for their families or care-givers are needed. 4) The resting space for patients and their families, for the staff, and for care-givers are needed. 5) The personal locker and refrigerator are necessary fixtures in care-givers' room. Also, table, sofa, sink, and shower booth are also needed. 6) On the base of activities of care-givers, the space for preserving, washing, and heating foods are needed. Also, the storage space for personal items and the fitting space are needed. Implications : The results of this study would be the fundamental data for space planning of the geriatric hospital.

This study aims to investigate the changing roles of Local Government and the ways to improve the space plan, especially focusing on the Local Government civil service space of Seoul City. Recently, many Local Government have endeavored to get rid of the authoritative images and change themselves to a space featuring cultural functions and efficient performance. Local Government buildings in Seoul City are trying to decorate the inner and outer images through new construction or extension of buildings so as to become more friendly to residents. Such efforts are visualized especially in civil service space. Civil service space represents the whole image and role of the Local Government. In addition, civil service space and resting space, which are frequently used, are correlated and more and more accessible to each other as administrative and civil services are increasing. By integrating and developing such features, civil service space of Local Government that meets the requirements of the new era will be presented.
