Hospice care facilities are known and started to develop as a palliative unit in six hospitals in Indonesia. Although not much in demand, but the risks of mistaken care make hospice facilities very important. Some countries in the world have developed specific standards in each country, but Indonesia has not had any research on hospice care that matches the typical behaviour of Indonesian patients. Therefore, this thesis aims to identify criteria and make an example of hospice care design solution with behavioural approach with case study in RSUD Al-Ihsan Bandung District. In the design of hospice care for cancer in Indonesia required behavioral approaches studied from the typical condition of patients, who are in terminal ill, and family. The patient's typical condition provides the criteria of the patient's need for internal and external environments that make them comfortable until near death. Typical family conditions provide the criteria of providing facilities that allow the family to be close to the patient while making himself comfortable in his environment. Based on the support of observational studies, literature studies, and interviews, the specific hospice care criteria for cancer with behavioral approaches can be elaborated into user criteria, location and typology, zoning/facilities, and space and architectural imagery. Based on these studies, the criteria of hospice care for cancer patient and family based behavior were obtained. The need for space such as home, the need for everyday objects, family proximity, and easy access with open space become the main concern in the design that takes into account the typical behavior of patients. While the provision of space facilities close to the patient as well as sharing with other families becomes a design benchmark that takes into family behavior. Furthermore, this thesis can be developed toward hospice care facilities for other terminal ills or other facilities that requiring typical patient and family behavior.
