| Abstract: | A contemporary approach to the spatial design of healthcare care facilities faces numerous
challenges at the crossroads of multidisciplinary topics of architecture and urbanism, healthcare,
security, and organisational sciences. Due to the unique combination of uses, users and architectural
expression, they are defined as urban nodes. With their inclusion, architects facilitate a better
placing of healthcare facilities, indirectly improving human health. The purpose of the article is
to seek guidelines for the siting of healthcare facilities to provide suitable and equal healthcare to
different social structures, and for the optimal and fair spatial distribution of healthcare services.
The descriptive method was used to review literature on the siting of healthcare facilities based on
the purpose of their operation, demographic changes, environmental characteristics, and the impact
on public health. This method was selected as it facilitates data acquisition from various sources
and a comprehensive understanding of the topic discussed. The results of the research show how
important the impact of the healthcare care facilities siting on human health and the wider social
significance of the topic discussed is. The findings may provide guidelines and proposals for future
spatial decisions. |
