AB - Purpose: This study aims to empirically identify the importance of architectural planning factors by sector to ensure medical continuity in disaster-prepared medical facilities responding to large-scale disasters. Method: Survey indicators were established based on a literature review of previous studies, and the validity of the questionnaire was ensured through verification by four experts to secure objectivity and practical feasibility. A survey was conducted with 48 medical planners specializing in major general hospitals in South Korea. The collected data, consisting of 79 specific items across 15 sectors, were analyzed using a statistical program through a one-way ANOVA, which ultimately derived the importance and valid items for each sector. Results: Key factors directly related to functional continuity and spatial flexibility, such as 'In-Hospital Infection Response Design' (4.66), 'Finding a Way in Public Places' (4.65), and 'Securing Large-scale Space Infrastructure' (4.50), scored over 4.50 points of importance. In addition, experienced MP (10 years or more) prioritized macro-level operating system and preemptive facility investment, while junior MP was found to be more sensitive to micro-level physical guidelines. It was found that the difference between the groups was significant in the ANOVA analysis and the six questions. Implication: The results of this study provide practical decision-making criteria for the planning and design stages of future resilient hospitals by integrating 'disaster safety hardware' and 'systematic operation software'.
