Abstract

Cancer is one of the most severe health problems in the world. In Indonesia, breast cancer is the leading cause of death among all female cancer sufferers. The problem is that most of the patients who come to see a doctor are already in the advanced stages. Breast cancer survivors put forward the importance of support from families as well as local communities in dealing with breast cancer sufferers. Breast Cancer Community is an organization that focuses on socialization and early detection of any symptoms of breast cancer. Therefore, a Breast Cancer Community Care Centre is necessary to build with appropriate interior design for its purpose.  It aims to reduce the number of advanced breast cancer patients and increase the number of survivors who are aware, resilient, and caring. A recovery center and place for breast cancer sufferers to interact and share experiences to restore the balance of physical and psychological conditions. This research was conducted through the design process of interior design, supported by data collected from literature and interview as well. The outcome of this research is an interior design of Breast Community Care Centre that has a healing environment to support the sustainable human environment that focused on human behavior as its user. Hopefully, this research will give inspiration through adopting a healing environment approach to interior design to support the vision and mission of the Breast Cancer Community
