目的-本研究的目的是确定快速，有效和负担得起的建筑设计解决方案，以改善巴尔的摩资金不足的社区医疗保健中心（CHC）的患者，访客和工作人员的健康。设计/方法论/方法-定性（个人和焦点小组访谈）和定量方法（空间句法分析和问卷调查）用于评估治疗环境。问卷涵盖了内部和外部环境相关的问题。调查结果-调查问卷确定了与寻路、室内设计和自然光相关的三个问题。调查结果表明，候诊区、检查室和实验室需要升级。受访者还建议结合其他一些室内组件，包括墙壁艺术，植物，音乐，标牌。原创性/价值——在美国，很少有研究了解建筑设计在社区尺度上创造治疗环境的影响。
Purpose - The purpose of this research is to identify quick, effective and affordable architectural design solutions to improve the health of patients, visitors and staff, in an underfunded community healthcare center (CHC) in Baltimore.Design/methodology/approach - Both qualitative (individual and Focus group interviews) and quantitative methods (space syntax analysis and questionnaire survey) are used to assess the healing environment. The questionnaires cover interior and exterior environment related questions.Findings - The questionnaire identifies three issues related to wayfinding, interior design, and access to natural light. The findings demonstrate that the waiting area, exam room and laboratory need to be upgraded. Incorporation of some other interior components including, wall art, plants, music, signage are also suggested by the respondents.Originality/value - Very few studies in the USA have been done to understand the effects of architectural design to create a healing environment on the community scale.
