This paper aims to clarify relationship between behavior and spatial structure of a nursing home for the elderly, focusing on the influence of care environment on the life of elderly residents. For this objective, 3 types of nursing home with private rooms (any of those facilities were designed for small-scale care) were surveyed by means of mapping of activities of the residents/care staffs, behavior observation and deep interviews. The findings are as follows: 1) Meaning of common spaces for the residents-especially in semi-private/semi-public zone-of 3 facilities were very different in resident's use pattern of space and provision of care programs. 2) Care activities of 3 facilities were also different, which reflected their care philosophy to the residents. 3) Difference of care environment (including building environment and care philosophy) had important influence on the daily life of the residents: Relatively independent residents could organize their life on their own way in any facilities, but for residents with serious dementia, their use patterns of space might be controlled tightly by care staffs in some facilities.
