This study intends to examine architectural design for the juvenile correctional facilities in order to achieve effective treatment of the juveniles. Juvenile training schools, in principle, accommodate juveniles who have been referred there by family courts as a protective measure and provide juveniles correctional education. Experiments using a mock-up of a typical private room of juvenile training schools are conducted to know preferable design details around the window. In the experiments, pictures of outside scenes are projected on a screen behind the window. The variables of the experiments are the directions and placement of iron bars on the window, and outside scenes. The participants are asked to imagine being a juvenile inmate and to describe their impressions and preferences relating to the simulated room for each of the conditions by answering questionnaires and giving interviews. Through the factor analysis and analyses on the tendencies on preferences and participants' comments, several points to be especially considered are proposed, for layout planning and guidelines on the design around windows for private rooms of juvenile training schools.
