Claim:
A floor plan correction method, comprising the steps of: (a) extracting a plurality of specified elements, which are specified in advance, from a floor plan; (b) obtaining a plurality of individual evaluation values on the basis of the plurality of specified elements extracted in the step (a), the individual evaluation values being indicative of values of the floor plan, respectively, with respect to a plurality of individual evaluation items to be considered in evaluating the floor plan; (c) calculating an integrated evaluation value on the floor plan on the basis of the plurality of individual evaluation values obtained in the step (b); (d) storing the plurality of individual evaluation values of each of a plurality of floor plans and the integrated evaluation value of each of the plurality of floor plans, which are obtained by executing the steps (a) to (c) for the plurality of floor plans; (e) selecting an individual evaluation item to be corrected, out of the plurality of individual evaluation items on the basis of a storage result in the step (d); and (f) correcting a floor plan selected among the plurality of floor plans so that the individual evaluation value of the selected floor plan approximates an optimum value among the respective individual evaluation values of the plurality of floor plans with respect to the individual evaluation item selected in the step (e), wherein the steps (a) to (f) are executed by a floor planning device, a degree of significance, which corresponds to a priority level of each of the plurality of individual evaluation items, is set for each of the plurality of individual evaluation items, and an individual evaluation item whose degree of significance is higher is selected with higher priority as the individual evaluation item to be corrected in the step (e).
