The space where children are hospitalized is one of the spaces that affects their mental state. A sick child is more sensitive and irritable than adults, so the interior design of the treatment space where the child is hospitalized can be such that it creates a peaceful environment in the space. The main goal of this research is to identify the appropriate color palette to increase environmental comfort in children's treatment spaces from the perspective of users (sick children, accompanying mothers and nurses). In order to achieve this goal, this research has used the ethnography method by adopting a qualitative approach. The sampling method of this research was targeted and the statistical population was children admitted to the pediatric department of the neuropsychiatric hospital of Rouzbeh Hospital and their accompanying mothers as well as the nurses of the relevant department. In the section related to mothers and nurses, data has been obtained through in-depth semi-structured interviews. But in the case of children, due to the difficulties of access and interview, coloring sheets containing raw 3D images of the spaces of the children's department were provided to them for coloring. The findings of this research indicate that colors that are weakened by white are liked by mothers and cold colors are more relaxing for nurses. Children are also interested in using happy and gentle colors in hospital spaces. Finally, it has been tried to extract and present the desired color palette from the obtained data.

 Lack of attention to environmental graphics and poor architectural layout of pediatric treatment spaces are among the important causes of incidence and exacerbation of anxiety and behavioral problems in hospitalized children, which can lead to difficulties in treatment process and adaptation and acceptance of treatment modalities and serious problems in communicating with medical staffs; so paying attention to the correct principles of environmental graphics elements and architectural layout parameters can reduce anxiety in hospitalized children and facilitate and accelerate the treatment process of hospitalized children in pediatric hospitals.

The most important goal of researchers is to change the perspective of architects and designers and graphists on environmental graphic parameters and architectural layout elements and provide scientific and practical solutions to improve the quality of medical spaces for children. In this way health care system can improve and present better care to costumers, especially children and this will lead to better and sooner treatment outcomes that finally reduces cost for patients and health ministry.

In this research, we have tried to see the needs of children in treatment spaces through the children’s point of view. For this purpose, 70 Children were selected by simple randomization method and then divided in 2 groups: first group had history of hospitalization and second group do not have any history of that. We asked children to draw their desired space and also using standard game to design their favorite hospital. Field of study were pediatric hospitals of Tehran and after implantation of excluding criteria, only Mofid hospital and Baqiyatallah hospital were selected. The research was done between

By analyzing the data obtained from drawings and standard game by a skilled child psychologist and Atlas.ti 9.1.3.0 software, it was found that children pay a lot of attention to the surrounding space and try to make this space a safe and secure environment that is familiar for them (such as home or school).

From this research, it can be concluded that in order to accelerate the process of treatment of hospitalized children, pediatric treatment spaces should be transformed into familiar and safe spaces through the use of environmental graphics and architectural layout.

Despite understanding the impact of the built environment on children, little attention has been paid to the design of children’s hospital environments, taking into account children’s opinions. Their voices are usually not heard properly because they are interpreted by adults. Often, studies about children with their needs have relied on talking to parents. However, to create a sense of belonging in children, they need to see their share in the design. The purpose of this article is to examine the process of identifying children’s preferences and how to apply them during the hospital design process based on the different levels of the Hart participation ladder. The eight steps of participation from the bottom to the top are: 1) Manipulation 2) Decoration 3) Ttokenism  4) Assigned but informed 5) consulted and informed 6) Adult-initiated, share decision with young people 7) Young people-initiated and directed And 8) Young people-initiated, share decisin with adult. This paper discusses children’s participation in the design process of the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and attempts to examine experiences related to children’s participation in the design process and project par-ticipation activities. This research is a qualitative combination and includes an interpretive approach and the methods of data collection are based on documentary studies, field surveys and interviews. And provide a strategic prescription to be addressed. The findings of the present study, which are based on the interpretation of interviews with the design team and people who were present in the design process, in the first step includes reviewing and evaluating the participation process during the design. In the second step, it offers suggestions by formulating the advantages and disadvantages. The results show that participation in a design process provides valuable opportunities to express children’s views and ensures that user requirements are available at all stages of the process and are not eliminated by gradual changes to design solutions.
