Abstract

The aims of this study are to develop a new method of extracting the image construct about health and to comprehends its image construct. One of the methods of extracting environmental evaluation structure formed through individual experience is the Evalution Grid Method. However, some problems were found when it was applied on the concept of health, and development of a new method was needed. 'Image Grid Method' was developed based on Evaluation Grid Method. This method is the combination of remembering behavior settings and laddering them without presented elements comparing procedures As a result of the investigation using the new method, 10 behavior settings about health were found. Especially, important are 'exercise', 'eating' and 'sleep'. This kind of knowledge is useful for space design meeting the demands of health. This study shows that adopting the Image Grid Method is able to extract which could not be comprehend by the Evaluation Grid Method.
