This study aims to provide an analysis method and basic data regarding infectious spaces during juvenile clinic processes in public regional base hospitals. The clarification of the local spaces exposed to the concentration of infection activity supports architectural infection-control planning and maintenance. The investigation of precedent studies on juvenile pneumonia, spatial analysis of ground floor plan and patient’s circulation network analysis were conducted. Angular Mean Depth computed on the basis of Space Syntax Theory was adjusted as per the contact distance. The analysis result clarified local spaces exposed to potentially infectious conditions and suggested the simplification of juvenile patient’s circulation with minimizing repeated spatial use. The study also evaluated corridor, registration area and examination-waiting room and administration office as potentially infectious spaces in the order of infection potential. Thus, the provision of infection control resources in the individual space of them is required with overall infection control plan.
