| Research Abstract |
Although quite a lot of research outcome has been obtained through various approach to the issues of clarifying functional relations between people and space, it is not yet enough to describe properly mutual relations between human pcycological environment and human behavior as an outcome. The Hypothesis of the study is that individual environment might be established on the basis of physical environment and it's reflection of to individual consciousness. Hospital geography studies have been carried out in order to study this hypothesis as a case.
This study aimed at establishing architectural geography as a theory explaining built environment through various similar surveys on other type of buildings.
Surveys were carried out in medical facilities, educational facilities, welfare facilities and urban environment. The results of the analysis on these surveys revealed the possibility of applying to healthy urban environment enabling everybody to sustain his/her life.
This study implies the following comprehensive concept-orientated research topics ; (1) Scale of built-environment, (2) functional indeterminacy, (3) positive integration interior and exterior space, (4) establishment of human communication, (5) promotion of self-control, (6) establishment of security and safety.
It is hoped that the study provide an important aspect to the discussion of finding new roles of Architectural Planning Studies in the 21st century.
