Abstract

This article views upcoming university health and social care center’s space planning at the social and health care sectors’ multiagency workings perspective. The study explores what kind of understandings on integrated multiagency working descriptions of university health and social care center’s spaces are creating. Description of spaces are viewed at social work’s perspective to figure out what is social work’s role in there. As a data is university health and social care center’s space requirement report and the method of analysis is cultural analysis of texts. Results shows that space planning of upcoming university health and social care center is guided by understanding which sees social welfare and health care reform’s target being just integration of special health care and health care. That leads to situation where upcoming university health and social care center is a traditional hierarchic health care unit where health care and medicine has leading position and social work has just an assistant role in multiagency work.
