Plenty of people living in the suburbs necessarily tend to refer to big cities to use medical services. A micro-hospital, in these cities, has extreme economic, Social, living, and environmental benefits. This thesis includes two main sections. The first section aims to define a micro-hospital for small cities. At first small-scale hospitals were considered through literature review and defining indicators were extracted. At second, determining indicators accurately based on the micro-hospital’s location in Iran, the factors were surveyed by 6 Medical space designers and 3 hospital quality improvement and management experts using a questionnaire. These indicators were categorized into 2 groups; ‘Micro-hospital construction Criteria’ and ‘Functional definition of micro-hospital.’ The definition of each indicator was obtained according to the majority of opinions. This study showed that first of all, ‘Micro-hospital construction Criteria’ determines whether an area is eligible to have a micro-hospital or not. Then, an appropriate site will be selected according to the defined indicators. At last, hospital designing and programming will be done based on the given prototype. In addition, appropriate approaches in designing micro-hospital were explained, and flexibility was chosen for the second section. There are various factors in Flexibility which means the building’s accountability to unpredicted events. The main objective of the second section is to select the most prominent approach to designing a Micro-hospital. The factors of flexibility in hospital design and the various scenarios of its development were surveyed by 10 medical space design specialists to be prioritized according to Micro- hospital. The least disruption in sections in case of change or development of another section, external development possibility, multifunction without physical changes, and internal development possibility are important factors in terms of flexibility in Micro-hospital respectively. Also, the best scalability for this hospital was considered horizontal development.
