Abstract

The design of the built environment of a healthcare setting impacts all users. As a result, it is becoming common practice to design and create healthcare environments that are inclusive of the needs of patients, staff and visitors. Trans- lating how people interact with the environment into design requires a theoretical, methodological level of understanding the dynamics within the built environment. There are a number of social science concepts, methods and frameworks that demonstrate how individuals interact with environments. The aim of this chapter is to establish human geography, with a focus on indoor mobility and the con- cept of activity space, as a theoretical concept to explore the spatial and temporal movements of users of indoor healthcare environments. This new knowledge of spatial behavior can provide valuable insights into how indoor healthcare facilities work in practice and inform future design solutions based on users’ needs.
