Abstract

The article presents research paper which focuses on locational preferences for privacy in hospital wards. It explores preference for privacy among people with different demographic and cultural backgrounds in hospital wards. It aims to investigate the effect of age, gender, previous experience of space and cultural background on people's chosen spatial location for privacy in multi-bed wards. These results of findings are discussed which suggests universal preference for spatial location of privacy across culture, age and gender and a specific significant difference for spatial location of privacy as a result of previous spatial experience.
