Abstract
Designing a Health Village as a part of Modern Healthcare Systems Aims to deliver Comprehensive Care to both Individuals and Communities. This concept fosters health and well-being by integrating healthcare, wellness, and social services into cohesive and sustainable model. The present study was conducted with the objective of designing a health village grounded in sustainable architecture, emphasizing elements that enhance mental health and create a calm environment.
The research employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing descriptive and content analysis approaches. Within this framework, five primary physical indicators– scale and proportion, form and shape, materials and details, building location, and spatial organization– were examined.
The findings revealed that among these indicators, view and landscape were the most significant factors within the building location category; human scale was the most influential under the scale and proportion indicator; coherence and harmony predominated the form and shape category, and color diversity had the greatest impact within materials and details. Furthermore, both components of spatial organization exhibited comparable influence on the design of the health village environment.
In the final ranking of physical indicators, scale and proportion held first place, followed by form and shape, and then materials and details; meanwhile building location, spatial organization, and flexibility demonstrated the least influence on the design process. These results can serve as guidelines for the design of health-oriented spaces.
