The residential type nursing home, as a main kind of the elderly facilities in Japan, is popular for the elderly because of its relative lower fee and less limitation. And the residential type nursing home has its own relative stable and mature system after decades of development, so it is significative to provide inference value for others countries, especially the countries that are beginning to the age. For certain, different kinds of the elderly facilities have different configuration conditions depend on the different requirements of the elderly. Therefore, it is important to be considered clearly that what interior configurations the residential type nursing home should have, and how to arrange the interior spaces, can satisfy the living requirement of the elderly who live in. Because previous study has explored the spatial composition of the nursing home, this paper is mainly aimed to exploring and analysing the spatial position relationship of the main spaces in the nursing home to realize more that how to arrange the spaces in nursing home more reasonably, so as to provide suggestions and directions for the designs of nursing homes in the future.
