The present research aims to investigate how hospital ward environments can contribute to psychiatric patients' treatments. Behavior of patients in a psychiatric hospital were surveyed over time before and after a move from the old ward to the new ward. The findings are as follows ; 1. About half of the patients' behavior observed were categorized "idle" before moving but decreased after moving. 2. Communication did not occur much at places where the function was defined only by objects placed there, for example a stereo set. 3. Though most of the activities did not last longer than 10 minutes before moving, activities that continued for a longer time span took place more often after moving. 4. It was often observed that patients used spaces in contrary to its function. For example, some patients went to common spaces to be alone. 5. Some staffs had an impression that the common spaces became quieter in the new ward even though the patients were more active after moving. It is possible that enlarging the space had a positive effect on calming patients' behavior.
