The purpose of this study is to analyze, especially from a safety aspect, the interior characteristics of lobbies in the rehabilitation hospitals. Four rehabilitation hospitals in Gyunggi province were examined. The design features of lobbies were analyzed. The analyses were through on-the-spot surveys in the perspective of the safety features. The results of the study are as follows: The colors applied are relatively varied and in warmer tones but the finishing materials are relatively monotonous. Better finishing materials can give more intimate feelings to the users. Non-threshold entrances and slope ways are planned safely but lack in nonslip floor finish. The directional signs meet safety requirements in general but the visibility of sign needs to be improved.
