Abstract
The evaluation of an architectural building in the healthcare sector is dependent upon its capacity to fulfill the expectations of various user groups, including patients, patient families, and medical staff.
The research was conducted by studying the definition of general hospital facilities according to international organizations and Egyptian design standards, as all of the case studies are located in Egypt, and the organizational zoning among the departments of the general hospital. Specifically, studying the inpatient department zoning with the goal of knowing the space layout planning basics for the department and the different typologies of nursing units that can be included inside the department.
Also, the research introduced the concepts of space layout planning and the aspects that should be considered during the process. How this process affects the user experience within the physical environment of spaces they use, studying how to improve the space quality to enhance the spatial experience for all of the users inside the inpatient departments in general hospitals.
The research introduced the integration of algorithms in the post-occupancy evaluation process for different typologies of nursing units in inpatient departments, analyzing the effect of spatial configuration on user behaviors according to the different users based on factors such as wayfinding, accessibility, privacy,.. etc. studying how the use of algorithms could be efficient in creating a post-occupancy evaluation for the departments in the general hospital facility.
