Pendekatan Healing Architecture dalam Perancangan Pusat Rehabilitasi Gangguan Jiwa di Medan

Abstract

The increasing number of people with mental disorders in North Sumatra, especially the city of Medan, has increased the facilities for rehabilitation centers for mental disorders in Medan. In Medan, several mental hospitals accommodate people with mental illnesses who are recovering, but the facilities owned by these mental hospitals are not up to standard. The goal is to design buildings and environments that meet the needs of users with mental disorders. People with mental illnesses need a place to support the healing of their souls because a good environment can shape behavior patterns that can affect the patient's psychology. The design of the Rehabilitation Center for Mental Disorders in this building in Medan was explicitly designed to support mental health and help heal patients by using architectural elements, namely by using the Healing Architecture approach in developing the facilities needed by patients with mental disorders. In designing the Center for Rehabilitation for Mental Disorders, the method used in selecting the location was qualitative with descriptive research by observing matters related to the planning of the institution, followed by surveys and data collection related to planning for the rehabilitation center, as well as analyzing and concluding the results of the collected data. I hope the changes to the facilities for the Mental Disorder Rehabilitation Center in Medan will help people with mental disorders realize their recovery and raise a positive image of mental health services among the people of North Sumatra, especially the City of Medan.
