Abstract When we are designing the toilet in building, the minimum number of sanitary fixtures should be different according to the purpose, grade and number of users. However, at the moment, because our country has no standardized regulation, we should follow the contents on the minimum number of the fixture by law and regulations. Generally speaking, we feel the lack of the number of currently used sanitary fixtures in the toilet of culture & gathering facilities that many persons use within a short time of period. This study attempts to analyze the average usage frequency, usage time, load hours when using the toilet, and suggests the basic data for calculating the number of the proper sanitary fixtures through a questionnaire and observation on the actual fixture usage conditions of the male and female in the rest room of the culture & gathering facilities.
