This is a case study in spatial meaning conducted at a newly designed group-living home (the latest model case in Japan) for people with dementia. Previous research has already pointed out that the utilization of common space greatly affects the life-style of people with dementia. Here the focus is on the adaptation to and use of space, especially to the private rooms. Changes over time of the spatial use patterns are clarified. As survey methods, observations of behavior and interviews with staff were used. On survey days, behavior maps were made every 10 minutes from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.. As for the attributes of the residents, ADL (Activity of Daily Living) and mental status were recorded by the staff. The survey was repeated 3 times at periods of 2 months, 4 months and 7 months after the home was opened. Each of the three studies were carried out over a period of 3 days from Saturday to Monday. The aim of this study is to clarify the changes over time of adaptive behavior in spatial use patterns of the people with dementia in Group-living environment. Some results show as follows: 1) The residents were able to adapt to the new environment over time. 2) Due to the special spatial characteristics of the private rooms and many rich common spaces in this group-living home, everyone was able to develop their own way of life and own pattern of using the spaces. Many types of life-styles were observed and it is thought that the provision of spatial diversity enables life-style diversity. Both the private rooms and common spaces are determined to be important to people with dementia. 3) Seeing that residents, after learning from the guidance of the staff, are eventually comfortable to freely use most spaces in the home, we can conclude that using space plays important role in one kind of rehabilitation for people with dementia.
