| Abstract |
This study compared the area distribution and construction type of the general hospitals in Korea and Japan which were developed under the similar environmental condition. The subjects of this study are the general hospitals built after year 2000, with over 500 beds. This study analyzed the areas of the ward, Outpatient Department(O.P.D), Treatment and Diagnosis(T&D), Logistics, Administration as well as Sharing Department which is receiving more and more attention in Japan. As a result, ward is found to be the most noticeable department compared to the in both countries. In Korea, the area per bed of ward in the general hospitals is smaller than Japan. According to the previous studies, the space formation of O.P.D and T&D of Korea general hospitals built after year 2000 is mostly vertical type. However, the result of this study shows that the vertical type only appears in Korea general hospitals while horizontal type space formation is commonly observed in Japan general hospitals. |
