Abstract

Every local government in South Korea is only busy coming up with master plans for their own medicaltour clusters as looking into how other countries have done with the topic. When it comes to the main trend in themedical tourist industry today, hotels, one of the lodging facilities, should focus on designing their spaces to feel ecofriendlyenough to help tourists concentrate only on their healing and treatments but not merely to work as somesimple places for the tourists to stay for a while.Therefore, the study also believes that if the hotels as one of thelodging facilities are willing to have some eco-friendly construction plans to properly deal with these concepts of themedical tourism, healing and resting, they, themselves, will get a good chance to make a contribution to the planningof even healthier clusters. In the light of what has been mentioned so far, this study looks into several eco-friendlydesigns of the hotels which have been practised to follow those basic concepts described above, and discusses changesin psychological factors of spatiality being expressed in those designs which are, in other words, both the eco-friendlyelements found inside hotel rooms and the methods applied to the structures. In addition, based on the findings fromits data analysis, the study conducts the survey targeting the medical tourists in South Korea to understand the reliabilityand the revisit intention and learns about how those factors would influence the satisfaction with the eco-friendlydesigns. As a result, the study aims to extract any architectural plans and designs which will be smart and efficientenough to be applied to the hotel planning.
