隨著高齡與失能人口增加，日間照顧服務成為社區照顧的主流之一。本研究以雲林縣A、B 和彰化縣C 日間照顧中心內的長者和工作者為研究對象，討論空間對日間照顧中心的行動者有何影響與意義。研究發現，對執行日間照顧服務的單位而言，依法規要求進行空間硬體設備配置的重要性大於符合受託老人與在現場進行照顧工作人員的需求，形式意義大於做為照顧空間實質應發揮之作用。日間照顧中心受限硬體空間無法更動，增加現場工作人員照顧失能或失智老人之負荷，但工作人員對於空間使用與調整的認知較為消極，認為只有老闆或空間主責人具有調整空間的權力。失能老人在移動路線中若遇障礙較需工作人員協助照料，往往降低老人移動意願，而工作人員為便利其工作，空間擺設以方便其工作為優先，使用空間的權力大於被照顧的老人。從行動者多元與平等的角度，日間照顧服務單位應思考找出同一空間不同行動者（失能或失智老人與現場工作人員）在空間需求上的最適平衡點。

With the population of the elderly and disabled growing, day care services became one of the mainstream community care. This study takes A, B in Yunlin and C in Changhua County of day care centre as cases for the elderly and workers, discussed on the impact and meaning of actors in day care center . Studies have found that the importance of space hardware configuration in accordance with regulatory requirements was greater than the needs of the elderly and the staff. Because house construction of day care centres cannot be changed, the staff increased nursing loads to take care of disability or dementia, but the staff was more negative that the owner or master who has power of adjusting space. If disability or dementia of the elderly lost in the route, they often wanted staff to help let them less to move. The staff thought space equipment to facilitate its work as a priority, the use of space power is higher than that of the elderly. From the perspective of actors (disability or dementia elderly and staff), we should find the optimum balance in the space requirements of day care centre.
