Purpose: Planning space of the house is important as a universal place to relieve stress of contemporary people. Void space is easy to perform mental and cultural programs in aspect of affording the healing behavior. The “Interface” accommodates healing behaviors through mutual interchange between void space and solid space as the edge of the solid space around void space. This study presents a efficient theory of healing space through combining space theory with the Kitwood's theory of psychiatry used for the art therapy. Methods: Spatial elements based on Kitwood's theory converges towards 2 behavioral elements; Meditation(-), Sense of Community(+). Balancing with reciprocal complement between behaviors of passive and stable “Meditation(-)” and active and released “Sense of Community(+)” was analysed. Results: “Faciliation” can be used in combination with “Flow(+)” as active factor. “Validation” is combined with “Prospect(+,-)”, and divides into 2 factor ; “Recognition-Refreshment(-)”, “Reaction-Social Exchange(+)”. “Holding” is combined with “Refuge(-)“ as passive factor. Implications: This study established concept of spatial healing elements in connection with theory of Psychiatry about Alzheimer that is extreme situation of stress. This study is expected to enhance the validity and efficiency in analysis of healing space.
