This paper intends to discover how the synomorph of behaviour setting in architecture could enhance the green design, with respect to space usage satisfaction and idleness of space. This research carried out through desk study and descriptive methods, as continuation of author earlier researches. Behaviour setting of a space exists as soon as a synomorph (same in structure and shape) between standing pattern of behaviour of user and physical milieu of space meet in circumjacent, a kind of fittingness. Barker developed behaviour-setting theory to explain small - scale social system, as well as the study of behaviour in its natural environment. Barker defines behaviour setting as independent units of space, with temporal and spatial boundaries, that have great coercive power over the behaviour that occur within them. The synomorph occurs in a behaviour setting offering fittingness between behaviour and the setting that could enhance the setting. The aim of this study encourages the architects to always consider to achieve synomorph in their space designs; the synomorph besides could increase space user's satisfaction as well the value of spaces so that architects could avoid the idle space as one of codes in the green design.
