Hospitals offer
mainly treatment services to people as their basic functions. The
qualifications and quantities of doctors working in the hospitals as well as
the service quality, accessibility to the technological innovations and
providing comfortable places are therefore the essential issues taken primarily
into consideration in the hospitals. However, even though open spaces in the
hospitals occupy a significant place for both physical and emotional health of
patients and their relatives, they are not adequately given a significant place
in the prior subjects of treatment processes. Issue of the service quality provided
in the health campuses, which have intensive users / patient groups, has come
into prominence along with the issue of spatial qualities. In this sense,
within the scope of this study, open spaces of Gazi University Hospital, in
which a partial transformation process has been undergoing, including the
construction of additional buildings and the demolition of old buildings, are
selected as a case with the aim of discussing how they can be designed in a
proper and efficient manner to meet the demands and to satisfy the expectations
of the users. In this study, questionnaires are conducted to the main user
groups in the hospital (academic and working staff, patients and their
relatives, and students) in order to put forward the factors that could be
crucial in creating new open spaces by determining and considering the
essential needs and expectations of each and every group. Given the findings,
it is determined that, despite their differences in durations and time spent,
each user group uses the open spaces in the hospital for similar reasons
including resting, eating and drinking, and distancing themselves from the
usual hospital conditions by communing with the nature.

Kent Hastanelerinde Açık Alan Kullanım İhtiyaçlarının Belirlenmesi ve Açık Alan Tasarım İlkeleri

Öz

Hastaneler, temel işlevlerine odaklanarak kişilere tedavi
öncelikli hizmet vermektedir. Bu nedenle hastanelerde, çalışan doktorların
nitelik ve niceliklerinin yanı sıra, kişilere tedavi sırasında sunulacak hizmet
kalitesi, teknolojik yeniliklere ulaşma imkânı ve mekânsal konfor sunumu
önemsenmektedir. Ancak, hastane açık alanları, hasta ve yakınlarının gerek
fiziksel gerek ruhsal sağlıkları açısından önem arz etmekte, ancak açık
alanlara tedavi süreçlerinde öncelikli konular arasında yeterince yer verilmemektedir.
Yoğun bir kullanıcı / hasta grubu olan sağlık kampüslerinde sunulan hizmet
kalitesinin yanı sıra mekânsal nitelikler de önem kazanmaktadır. Bu bakış açısı
ile çalışma kapsamında, yeni ek binaların inşası ve yapı ömrünü doldurmuş eski
binaların dönüşümü ile yapılı alanların yeniden ele alınacağı Gazi Üniversitesi
Hastanesi açık alanlarının bu süreçte kullanıcıları açısından ihtiyaçları
karşılayabilecek şekilde nasıl daha doğru ve verimli biçimde tasarlanabileceği
konusu ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada hastanedeki temel kullanıcı gruplarına
(akademik personel ve çalışanlar, hasta ve hasta yakınları ile öğrenciler)
anketler yapılmış, her bir farklı kullanıcı grubunun ihtiyaçları belirlenerek,
bu ihtiyaçların dikkate alındığı, yeni açık yeşil mekânlar yaratmada etkili
olabilecek temel gereklilikler detaylandırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen
bulgulara göre, farklı kullanıcı gruplarının hastane açık alanlarını,
bulundukları zaman dilimleri ve süreleri farklı olmasına rağmen, temelde benzer
ihtiyaçlar için kullandıkları ve bunda dinlenme, yeme içme ve hastane
koşullarından bir nebze de olsa uzaklaşarak doğa ile bütünleşme ihtiyaçlarını
gidermenin yattığı belirlenmiştir.
