The study aims to investigate the economic benefits of salutogenic architecture in public healthcare facilities. The research design involves a quantitative approach that will utilize a survey to gather pertinent data. The survey comprises a meticulously designed set of questions aimed at investigating the economic benefits of salutogenic architecture in public healthcare facilities across Algeria. For comprehensive coverage, the study will encompass a sample size of 60 healthcare facilities, representing approximately 10% of the total establishments distributed across various provinces (wilayas). It aims to assess the economic advantages resulting from incorporating salutogenic design principles, such as natural light, access to nature, and a sense of environmental control, into the construction and renovation of public healthcare facilities. This research underscores the significance of salutogenic architectural principles in healthcare facility design, highlighting the importance of fostering positive atmospheres, providing access to natural elements, ensuring flexibility, and nurturing community connections to enhance patient and staff well-being by providing valuable insights into public healthcare sorting based on salutogenic architectural criteria and the demographic characteristics of the sample population. The findings highlighted the need for improvement in certain criteria such as flexibility and adaptability, a positive and healing atmosphere, and access to nature. The study also emphasized the significance of salutogenic architectural principles in healthcare facility design and suggested incorporating strategies that enhance patient and staff well-being.
