Abstract

This study focused on the emergency evacuation guidelines considering the behaviors of people with disabilities in Korea. For these purposes, this study reviewed the movement behaviors of people with disability and the treatment characteristics of emergency and hazards in United States. The results are as follows. First, it is necessary to suggest establishment requirements and building design guidelines considering the behaviors of inhabitants and the occupant load in social welfare facility for people with disabilities. Second, it is important to establish disaster preparedness and evacuation planning in emergency and hazards reflecting the movement behaviors of people with disabilities in national organizations and institutions on disability. Third, periodical emergency and fire drills are necessary for people with disabilities and should be managed considering the impaired prototypes, evacuation aids and service animals.

본 연구는 긴급상황 및 재난시 미국과 한국의 장애인을 위한 피난 대응체계 및 매뉴얼 실태 비교분석을 통하여, 재난약자인 장애인의 행태를 고려한 피난매뉴얼 구축방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이상의 연구결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 첫째, 건축물 주 이용자/재실부하를 고려하여 건축물 용도에 의한 피난 계획기준을 강화하고, 시설인가 기준(경사로, 수평 출구 수 및 피난거리, 피난발코니 등)을 제시하여 장애인의 피난 안전성을 강화할 필요성이 있다. 둘째, 국가기관 및 장애인 관련단체는 장애유형에 따른 접근성 및 피난특성을 고려한 표준 피난 매뉴얼 제시가 필요하며, 각 시설에서는 재실 장애인의 유형에 따른 피난계획을 수립할 필요성이 있다. 셋째, 재실자의 장애유형에 따라 장애인의 이동특성 및 피난행태가 다르므로 장애 유형별 피난훈련이 필요하며, 피난 보조도구 및 서비스 동물 등 다양한 상황을 고려한 정기적인 피난훈련을 통해 장애인과 관리자의 피난 숙련도 향상이 요구된다.
