Purpose: Regional public hospitals have implemented functional reinforcement projects, and the facilities to accommodate them have increased in size. Nevertheless users in hospital are concerned about space shortage and area imbalances. Therefore I will trace the factors and trends that influence the size, and derive the relationship between these and the uses' critical opinion. Methods: Among the indicators for determining the size of medical facilities, the number of beds and total floor area are the essential indicators that directly affect the composition of space and allocation of area inside the medical facility. The purpose of this study is to investigate the change and the factors of change on the these two indicators in regional public hospitals and analyze the trend of changes. Results: In accordance with support undertaking, regional public hospitals have been increased the number of chronic-based beds and expanded additional facilities such as O.P.D specialized centers, emergency centers and funeral homes for reflecting the needs of the regions and times. However, as a result of analyzing the area, regional public hospitals are growing in size mainly on the ward and O.P.D is only expanded the scope of functional reinforcement division but total area level of O.P.D is lower than the recent level. In addition, the levels of D&T, Supply, mechanical/electrical equipment area related to medical support and control environment quality are very low. This is because the functional reinforcement projects have been done without concerning diagnose the whole facility. Implications: If functional reinforcement projects are conducted, to cope with problems of space shortage and imbalance of area, it is judged that an architectural planning that comprehensively analyzes existing facilities and related departments should be included.

As it is being changed to information society with high economic development, every kind of work is being specialized and diversified in the aspects of quantity and quality. Therefore, Geo-Spatial Information System (GSIS) is getting more important because it can integrate the attribute, the image and the written data of objects including the site one. The purpose of GSIS is to integrate such geo-spatial data as the situation of public facilities, land uses and its sketch and statistics which are scattered in every administration department. Additionally, GSIS can make users get the goo-spatial information easily through computer, and can also do it worthier. An integrated management system of transportation data is needed to improve the efficiency of road-related operations. This can be accomplished by analysing various operation about road management and the utilization of base maps. Thus, in this study, effective road facility information management system based on GSIS database was developed for the management of various types of drawings and data using in various tasks.

High-rise mixed-use buildings are consisted of various facilities and circulations. Since various facilities and circulations are planned in a single site, circulation planning should be established after identifying the exact characteristics of facility and circulation. To this end, the components of the circulation planning in accordance with the formation of facility types are analyzed through the survey of experts based on Delphi Method. To identify the characteristics of the mixed-use buildings, by figuring out how the elements of circulation planning which are sought to be important by the planner has been reflected through analysis of the correlation between two sections. Researching on the circulation between two sections through Delphi Method and reflected circulation planning, it reaches the conclusion that the circulation of planning on the subject building is applied following the importance. In other words, the components of circulation planning which were sought to be important by the planner are reflected significantly when they planned the circulation planning on that mixed-use buildings. However, in case of design on the outdoor vehicle circulation, minimizing on the vehicle circulation at the 1st floor is not applied for the majority of the subject buildings different from the importance. In early 2000, high end residential buildings designed for mixed-use building have been specialized at vehicle-centered outdoor space and hotel style drop-off. Contrastively, sizable outdoor space at the 1st floor is designed to open to the residents and the local by minimizing the vehicle circulation in recent. Finally it shows that the way of circulation planning has been changed in accordance with time and trend.

This research paper explores selected behavioral outcomes of a multi-sensory environment. An experimental study was conducted at a specialized facility for the ageing in Sweden. The objective was to explore the effects of agitated behaviors of ageing residents with dementia and to identify any short-term effects. Appointed nursing staff was instructed to record physically and verbally agitated behaviors on three occasions; pre-session, mid-session, and post-session. Over seven months, nine participants received sixty-one sessions in the multi-sensory room. ANOVA and Post hoc multiple comparisons were performed to identify the differences in mean between each session. Generally irritated/frustrated behavior and eating/drinking non foods revealed statistically significant differences, while there were no significant results in verbally agitated behavior. One short-term effect was observed in one agitated category; a reduction of generally irritated/frustrated behavior. These results suggest that the multi-sensory environment can have positive effects on some manifestations of agitated behavior. This study proposes that a multi-sensory environment may be recommended as an alternative intervention for physically agitated behavior among this category of residents. However, more research is needed to understand the specific effects and the best use of the multi-sensory environment for this population.
