In the previous paper^<1)>, current physical situation of psychiatric facilities in Japan were overviewed. This paper aims at examining the possibility of applying personal space theory into psychiatric patients environment, especially in terms of appropriate built-environmental space for patients in psychiatric wards. Four days survey was conducted in a ward of one privately owned psychiatric hospital in Japan in December 2001. Attributions and behaviors of each 68 inpatient were reported and described in terms of diagnostic category, symptoms, ADL, individual characteristics, daily activities, ability of communication and participation in social and cultural activities. Quite a many of those who are capable of performing daily activities such as eating and changing attire, going to the bathroom and walking around both inside and outside of the building, are regarded as those who are not able to go shopping and play various kinds of sports. Observation reveals that patients commonly sat next to each other without direct communication. Furthermore, many patients tended to talk to themselves and sing by him/herself instead of interacting with others. Also many patients were founded to insist on the particular places to sit and particular persons with whom they sit together. For instance, only a limited group of patients are observed to occupy on a bench located at the corner where table tennis is allowed or several chairs at dinner tables in a hall. They would not like to give their chair to others. Measurements of physical distance to others when they preferred to sit at a bench were also carried out. Four groups of patients in terms of physical distance are identified. Group A patients are those who prefer to sit keeping a considerable distance between each other but do not like to practice sports. Group B mainly comprises of young patients also maintaining a distance with others. Group C patients are comprised of middleaged patients. These patients sit closer together than Group A and B. Group D patients are comprised of only young men, and they sit closer to each other than previous 3 groups of patients and they are active in communicating with each other. There seems to be several influencing factors, e.g. age, sickness, length of hospital stay, ability of communication in social and cultural activities and ADL. This case report only shown a possibility to further development of similar surveys involving more extensive category of psychiatric patients in order to examine the appropriate space study of built-environment of psychiatric patients.
