The paper aims at analyzing the differences in preference and satisfaction according to the types of location in geriatric hospitals. For the purpose, the employees working at 214 geriatric hospitals were surveyed from February 1 to April 5, 2013. Among 220 questionnaires, the 214 returned ones were statistically treated. The results are as follows; First, the location analysis results show that geriatric hospitals in the Jeolla Provinces had the greatest preference for ease to obtain medical supplies and equipments and easy access to medical technologies and office work support service. Their counterparts in Gyeongsang Provinces turned out to be satisfied with connections with specialized research institutions and government agencies and easy access to medical technologies and office work support service. Second, the analysis results according to the characteristics of hospitals indicate that special hospitals to treat alcoholism were satisfied with financial supports from the local and central government including all kinds of subsidies and financial loans. Third, the analysis results according to the number of beds reveal that hospitals with 151 beds or more preferred intimacy and closeness to specialized research institutions, schools, and agencies and were the most satisfied with the area of the lot and degree of tax reduction. Fourth, the analysis results of location conditions among geriatric hospital employees show that they considered the area of the lot (M=3.93) the most and connections with specialized research institutions and government agencies (M=3.03) the least in terms of preference. Their satisfaction level was the highest with local image (M=3.45)and the lowest with financial supports including all kinds of subsidies and financial loans (M=2.54). Finally, the study performed IPA on the Y axis of mean preference (3.56) and the X axis of mean satisfaction (3.08) for the 19 main location condition items of geriatric hospitals in the nation. 「Quadrant I」 of both high preference and satisfaction among geriatric hospital employees contained items on convenience with administrative service including permit and approval of hospital foundation, area of the lot, local image, and collaborative relationships with hospitals in neighboring areas. Their preference and satisfaction levels were particularly high with the area of the lot. On the other hand, 「Quadrant III」 of both low preference and satisfaction included items on ease to obtain medical supplies and equipments as access to the selling market, intimacy and closeness to specialized research institutions, schools, and easy access to medical technologies and office work support service. Those findings suggest that they should consider convenience with administrative service including permit and approval of hospital foundation, proper area of the lot, local image, and collaborative relationships with hospitals in surrounding areas as the most important factors of geriatric hospital foundation.
