Architecture of Air Transport Medicine Facilities

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the organization of air medicine and the architectural design of helipads in hospitals located in an urban environment. Also, the article has an attempt to draw public attention to the inevitable development of air medical aviation as a new and promising type of emergency medical transport in dense urban areas, which, in the processes of urbanization, will be aggravated by blocking the possibility of automobile movement in the city. The purpose of the article is to analyze the main problems and difficulties that accompany the design and operation of medical helipads in an urban environment, as well as to propose and systematize the main features and parameters that must be considered when designing helipads in hospitals. Methodology: the study consists of a systematic, and comprehensive analysis of the problems of architectural design of hospital helipads. The study used the analysis of literary, normative, informational sources, graphic-analytical methods, photographs and field research. The research methodology consists of a set of methods of practical, theoretical, empirical, retrospective and factor analysis. Conclusions: when designing a heliport in a hospital, it is essential to provide the shortest and safest route for a patient to the intensive care unit or operating room. Helipads for medical use are best located directly on the hospital grounds (on the roof of a hospital building or outbuilding, on the ground). It is also necessary to take into account the presence of a network of public heliports, which will create the possibility of landing and takeoff of medical helicopters in different parts of the urban space.

Planning of Rigid Pavement on Surface Level Heliport at Rahadi Oesman Airport Ketapang – West Kalimantan

“…Cement concrete slabs have properties that are quite stiff and stiff and can spread the load over a wide area and produce low stresses in the layers below. If a high level of comfort is required, the surface of the cement concrete pavement can be coated with a layer of asphalt mixture as thick as 5 cm [5], but by looking at the maintenance factor, only the cement concrete pavement surface remains.…”

“…Pavement planning that will be used is required to be able to accept and carry the helicopter's load on it. Due to the low maintenance costs and weight adjustment of cement or concrete materials, it shows a perfect system where all heavy loads from the helicopter are distributed evenly so that it is more durable, therefore the authors choose to use rigid pavement on the surface Level Heliport [5,6].…”

Sustainable Design in Architecture (The Case Study of the Educational Process at Universities in Poland and Ukraine)

“…Ecological efficiency in terms of creating a comfortable living environment:  Support for physical parameters of space (temperature regime; air quality; optimization of lighting; acoustic comfort; use of anti-allergic materials; decisions that ensure the safety of the population).  Support for the functionality of space (functional zoning, ergonomics, design versatility and inclusiveness, adaptability of the interior to changes in the functional purpose of individual zones) [33,34].…”

Systematization of Sustainable Urbanized Landscapes for Happiness and Quality of Life

“…Of course, in the summer, the park is a powerful generator of happiness and an increase in the comfort of life for residents and guests of the city. During the rest of the year, the park is not used much − it is not well-maintained and is far from residential areas [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. One of the most famous artificial city parks, the Sofiyivka National Arboretum, is located in the small town of Uman.…”
