Abstract

Predicting occupants' behaviors from the start of the fire to egress and reducing the time required for such process are critical matters that can decide success and failure of safe egress. In this research, research literatures and theories and fire cases were compared and analyzed so as to prepare logical grounds that could predict the process of beginning egress. As a result of this research, there was a significant difference in the time elapsed until people start evacuating due to spatial positions and quarantine from the place from which the fire originated and their auditive and olfactory signs did not recognize the fire instantly and they showed a strong tendency to recognize the fire by visual sign, warning announcement for egress and notice by others. And the results also showed that only a very small minority of occupants evacuated as soon as they perceived the fire and that variation in the time elapsed until evacuation begun for occupants were wider as the size of building was bigger and that accommodations such as hotel had wider variation in the time elapsed regardless of the size of buildings.

화재가 발생하고 피난이 개시되기까지의 과정에서 재실자의 행동을 예측하고, 그 과정에 소요되는 시간을 줄이는 것은 피난안전의 성패를 좌우할 수 있는 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 피난개시과정을 예측할 수 있는 논리적 근거를 마련하고자 연구문헌과 이론, 화재사례 등의 비교 분석 등을 하였다, 그 결과로서 화재발생장소와의 공간적 위치와 격리에 의해 피난개시까지 경과시간에는 상당한 차이가 발생하며, 후각 및 청각적 징후는 그것을 화재라고까지 바로 인지하지 않으며 시각적 징후 또는 피난방송, 다른 사람에 의한 통보 등에 의해 화재로 인지하는 경향이 강한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 화재를 인지한 후 바로 피난하는 재실자는 극소수에 불과하며, 피난개시까지 경과시간은 건물의 규모가 클수록 재실자별 경과시간의 편차가 크고, 호텔과 같은 숙박용도는 건물의 규모에 상관없이 경과시간의 편차가 크게 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다.
