Study of Healthy Architecture Approach in Architectural Design at Health Care Facilities

Abstract

The results of this study explore the application of the Healthy Architecture theory and approach in Health Facilities. The research results are expected to be a reference that can be used and easily understood by the public, architects and academics as a contribution to architectural ideas that can also be used for consideration in the architectural development of health facilities. The background issue for this research is the increasing number of health facilities needed and the challenges of the global situation faced both from an architectural and non-architectural perspective. Health facilities are also at the forefront of health service efforts, especially during a pandemic. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods in describing the implementation of the theory and approach to a healthy architecture and the implementation of designs in current and future health facilities. Healthy architecture is an approach that is applied to achieve a design that is healthy, effective and optimal for the environment and users. In implementing architecture in health facilities, implementing a healthy architecture is also expected to support the healing process of patients and support the activities of medical personnel.
