基於空間意象之觀點，空間本身是個形象化的意象，空間之意義並不侷限爲真實物質空間，空間涉及意識形態、政治經濟條件、及法律規範與習噴；各種結構透過空間的象徵秩序。每個社會都會建構其特殊的空間概念，個人主體在空間意象之作用的制約下，會不自覺地接受這些空間所衍生社會關係中定義出來的秩序，空間意象形式與社會權力結構的關係，的確呈現在空間的規範形式上面。我國於民國六十五年之工廠法施行細則即有明文規定工廠僱用女工者應設置哺乳室之規定，然而並未落實。近年因未來勞動力再生產不足，加上女性意識抬頭，其情況日漸改善，惟有設置哺乳室的業單位比例仍然極低。其規範有調整勞資間之空間秩序之意義，但我國中小企業多，而地狹人稠，土地房舍空間價格昂貴，如何立法使工作場所設置哺乳室一事能夠落實，哺乳室之多功能空間設計，需予研議。
Substantially, space itself is a figurative image. The significance of certain space is not limited within the idea of its concrete, material side. It also involves ideology, political economy conditions, social customs and norms, and all kinds of social structures constructed through the symbolic order of that space. Every society will construct a special concept pertaining to space. The subjectivity of an individual of that society thus functions under the restraints of the space concept, and concomitantly, the person will unwittingly accept the space order derived from the social relations. The relationships between the forms of space image and the power structure are demonstrated in the norms and codes of the space concept. In Taiwan, the breast-feed room regulations were set up by labor authority in 1976; however, the regulation has not been fully implemented. Recently, owing to the insufficient reproduction of future labor force and the awakening of feminist consciousness, Taiwan society is making progress in improving the situation. Nevertheless, the setup of bread-feed rooms is not commonly seen in business establishments. The regulations in fact connote the adjustment of space order between the labor and the management. However, in Taiwan, most enterprises are small medium size ones. The country is crowded and the land is expensive. It is time for legislation to establish the statute to fully implement breast-feed rooms in business establishments. In addition, we also need to study the multifunctional space design for the affordability of breast-feed room.
