Abstract

The purpose of this research to Improve the space according to need of users. The study explores the needs of improvement from users who have experienced in usage of the area and select specific samples (Purposive Sampling) from doctors, nurses, and patients in equal proportions. Collecting data from the in-depth interview focuses in two aspects 1) the problems in area, and 2) priority in usage of the area. In order to learn of problems in each area, the study identified factors from building evaluation theory and rating to “Linkert Scale” On the other hand, priorities of the area are learned by analyzing areas and array the importance in order to know which area should be improved first. The statistical analysis shows that the greatest problem is the safety. Because of limitation space, the area cannot be supported use in each section and affects many factors in the assessment. So, the researcher presents the building layout which has been designed area size to be able to support activities in each segment. Such as waiting area, specialized examination room, counter, circulation, etc. And reposition each room from the type of disease examinations.
