Abstract

Waiting room is a part of a building in which people sit or stand until their turn come. The way people behave in that area need to be predicted, thus architects can make good designs. This study aims to reveal the spatial behaviour patterns of visitors in public waiting rooms that located at Surabaya Hajj Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. By using behaviour mapping and stimulus response analysis, the patterns of people’s behaviour can be identified. The comparation analysis of three waiting areas revealed that reception desks, waiting chairs, and queueing machine acted as main stimulus, which significantly influences visitor circulation patterns. Moreover, registration table was the most powerful stimulus among the three, and queueing machine was the weakest one. This result can be a reference in the design process for architects and designers.
