| Abstract |
The subjects of this study are the general hospitals which have been built at an intervals of last 30~40years in Korea and Japan. In this study, to analyze the changes of the hospital's function, the ward is classified into room zone, patient zone, staff zone, machanical zone and EV core. On the other hand, the O.P.D and T&D are classified into examination & treatment function, medical examination function, ward function, supply function and administration function. As a result, it is found that the increase of area per bed in the room zone is the most significant. The area of O.P.D built after 2000 in Korea is twice as large compared to the general hospitals in Japan built at the same period. At the point of the functions, area of examination & treatment in Korea general hospital is almost 4 times larger than the general hospital in Japan. In D&T, the area per bed of the examination & treatment function is increasing possibly as a result of the development of medical technology. |
