Abstract
The Purpose for this study was to analyze the evacuation behavior of a training facilities for young people in case of fire emergency. It is necessary to study for fire safety design of the training facilities. The study carried out two different simulations on the training facilities. The results were divided into two groups by using Simulex, FDS. By comparing those two different outputs, we were able to verify the problems of existing training facilities. The results have shown that there was a need for a greater structural design in these training facilities.
