Abstract This study was intended to carry out the Post-Occupancy Evaluation of ward design of one general hospital in Busan. On the basis of this POE, the design guidelines for the user-oriented hospital were suggested. The subjects were 47 in-patients, 47 families, and 49 nurses in this hospital. The POE was carried out in three aspects of ward design: function, interior finishes and color, and psychological aspects. The users were relatively satisfied with the functional aspects except for the room size in each room. They were also satisfied with the interior finishes and color. However, they were dissatisfied with the psychological aspects of ward design. As for the difference of each user, the satisfaction degree of patients and their families with the functional and psychological aspects of ward design was higher than that of nurses, and the satisfaction degree with the interior finishes and color showed having no difference.
