This study began with the proposal of a suitable educational environment by analyzing and comparing the spacial relations that exist in the general schools and the alternative schools. Various school spaces are classified as either students' area or teachers' area. This study analyzes the different types of spacial relations that appear in general schools, as well as their potential applications on the spacial relations of the alternative schools. The types of spacial relations are classified as a separated type, a mixed type, a combined type, a cyclic type depending on the location of students' area and teachers' area. In the case of the separated type, the spacial relations of the general schools are represented by a horizontally-connected relation, but those of the alternative schools by a vertically-connected relation. Regarding the types of buildings, the Korean alphabet "ㅡ" is a standalone type that appears more often in the alternative schools than in the general schools. The Korean alphabet "ㄷ" type appears more often instead in the general schools. The spacial relations in the mixed type in the general school refer to the relationships between each spaces inside the schools facility, while those in the alternative schools refer to the relationships between each buildings. The cyclic relation, which refers to the relationship between artificially defined units of a connected building, appear both the alternative and the general schools.
