This study is intended to verify the efficiency of the information system by using the navigation application in case of fire. In the demonstration scenario simulation, it was assumed that a fire occurred 6th floor in Korea Institute of Industrial Design Promotion located in C city, K province. Eighty juniors students from K University's department of paramedics of science participated. As a result of the experiment, the demonstration simulation using the navigation application showed that the evacuation time was faster than the case of evacuation guidance in a fire situation. The need for a fire prevention system and fire prevention awareness before and after the implementation of the demonstration scenario simulation increased the need for a fire prevention system and fire prevention awareness score after the experiment.

모든 공동주택에 적용되고 있는 기존의 피난시설은 고층부분에서 사용의 제한, 세대 간 보안 및 사용자의 제약 등으로 실제 현장에 적용하여 사용하는 되는 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 또한, 이와 관련하여 공동주택의 용도 특성상 조기 피난이 이루어지지 못하는 경우가 빈번하여 화재 때문에 세대 내 출구가 폐쇄되고 재해약자가 사용하는데 어려우며, 화염과 복사열로부터 안전을 해결하기에는 현재 공동주택에서 보편적으로 설치되어있는 완강기로 이러한 문제를 해결하기에는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결할 피난방법이 적용된 피난시설을 제안하고자 한다. "피난대피시설"은 공동주택 발코니 또는 외벽에 콤팩트(compact)하게 접혀 있다가 화재 시 수동 또는 감지기와 연동해 쉽게 작동되어 대피공간 용도와 유사시 자력으로 피난층까지 피난할 수 있는 구조이다. 또한, 화재실과 접하는 부분은 $1,200^{\circ}C$의 복사열을 차단할 수 있는 단열소재로 구성되며 1차적으로는 화재 장소에서 외부 공간으로 일탈한 후에 2차적으로 아래층으로 사다리를 이용하여 피난할 수 있게 되어 있다. 본 연구개발의 주안점은 화재 시화염과 복사열로부터 공간 일탈을 하여 재실자를 보호할 수 있는 대피공간의 개념과 피난시설에서 피난층으로 피난할 수 있는 적극적인 피난방법을 접목한 것이 피난시설 개발의 핵심이다.

The study analyzes the appropriate number of people per a household by applying an evacuation simulation to a 27-floor apartment in accordance with the NFPA 101 standard. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, if there are three people residing in each household, there would be 156 households in total, of which 85.25% were evacuated within 5 minutes. Second, 208 households with 4 residents were evacuated within 5 minutes. Third, if there are five people residing in each household, there would be a total of 260 households and 71.92% of residents were evacuated within 5 minutes. Lastly, 62.82% of the 312 households, each consisting of 6 people, were evacuated within 5 minutes. Measures to reduce evacuation time include determining the width of the stairs according to the number of people indoors, the number of floors in the building, the slope of stairs, and the users' characteristics, the design reflecting the ventilation conditions of the stairs, the installment of outdoor evacuation stairs, two-way stairs, evacuation lift, and the installation of an evacuation safety zone for people to evacuate outside of the building in the middle floors. In addition, measures, such as the mandatory installation of automatic emergency door open-close device to the rooftop, are required to facilitate rooftop evacuation.

This paper presents a novel algorithm for searching evacuation paths in indoor disaster environments. The proposed method significantly improves the time complexity to find the paths to the evacuation exit by introducing a light-weight Disaster Evacuation Graph (DEG) for a building in terms of the size of the graph. With the DEG, the method also considers load balancing and bottleneck capacity of the paths to the evacuation exit simultaneously. The behavior of the algorithm consists of two phases: horizontal tiering (HT) and vertical tiering (VT). The HT phase finds a possible optimal path from anywhere of a specific floor to the evacuation stairs of the floor. Thus, after finishing the HT phases of all floors in parallel the VT phase begins to integrate all results from the previous HT phases to determine a evacuation path from anywhere of a floor to the safety zone of the building that could be the entrance or the roof of the building. It should be noted that the path produced by the algorithm. And, in order to define the range of graph to process, tiering scheme is used. In order to test the performance of the method, computing times and evacuation times are compared to the existing path searching algorithms. The result shows the proposed method is better than the existing algorithms in terms of the computing time and evacuation time. It is useful in a large-scale building to find the evacuation routes for evacuees quickly.

It is not easy to evacuate when people face with emergency situation in deep underground space because space perception and synthetic judgement are readily lowered. In stead of evacuating safely outside within the given time, evacuation safety zone is required to be designed and installed. In this study, PATS (Pedestrian movement based Assessment Toolkit for Simulation) is applied to build a comprehensive and analytic framework for seeking the optimal (or proper) numbers and locations of evacuation safety zone. With two scenarios of emergency situation at intermodal transfer center with the 6 floor in underground, the problematic location on the evacuation path has been identified and the proper locations has been presented.

Disaster mythology is "beliefs about human behavior in disaster that have been proven to be wrong through scientifically conducted research studies." Disaster researchers have discovered a series of disaster myths. The results of research survey based on 491 individuals confirm prior research representing widespread belief in disaster mythology such as panic, looting, crime, evacuation and lethargy. This study also indicates that, while high, the percentage of local government officials demonstrating belief in disaster myths was lower than the public except for looting. The probability of believing disaster myths was greater for individuals who were female (panic and evacuation), old (evacuation and lethargy), in their twenties and thirties (looting), and officials with disaster related work experience (panic, looting and crime). The results indicate the importance of understanding public belief to make effective emergency plans.

In the disaster prevention design, it is important point to secure escape way at event of fire which makes people away from the fire more quickly and safely. Development of construction techniques leads to build many skyscrapers, and skyscrapers contains various dangers and increase levels of disaster. At basic design stage for skyscrapers, evacuation scenario is considered that occupants are escape using escape stairs and emergency elevators simultaneously at fire, but there is no evacuation program to simulate using escape stairs and emergency elevators at the same time. In this study, evacuation simulation is performed using method of VR which is based on Virtools of 3DVIA Co., and Simulex of IES Co. for safety and effectiveness where occupants are escape using escape stairs and emergency elevators simultaneously at the fire.

This paper introduces 'EgresSIM', which is microscopic evacuation simulation software. EgresSIM developed in this paper is a three-dimensional (3D) pedestrian evacuation simulator based on the improved model advanced from the floor field model(FFM), a microscopic pedestrian model. This software can simulate large size buildings that consist of a number of floors, stairs, rooms, and exit doors. Moreover, this software can arrange several hundreds or thousands of pedestrians in indoor space and check their movements through the 3D viewer in real time, as well as produce detailed results about evacuation situations such as which paths are employed by individual pedestrians, how long does it takes to evacuate, and how many evacuees are gathered at each of the exit doors. Building data needed in the simulation are constructed as XML files according to pre-defined indoor data models and information of simulation results is also created as XML log files. A moving pattern of pedestrians can be represented in many ways by adjusting the sensitivity parameters of two walk models supported by EgresSIM. Thus, evacuation simulation can be done based on many assumptions of situations such as movement to the nearest exit door or blackout after outage.

국내에서 2003년 9월 12일 태풍 매미는 부산 지역에서 많은 재산상의 피해와 아울러 강풍으로 인한 건물의 진동으로 인하여 거주자의 사용성문제가 발생하였다. 또한 신문 보도에 의하면 15층 이상의 고층에 거주하는 시민들은 강풍으로 인한 진동으로 인하여 극도의 공포감에 시달린것으로 알려져 있다. 부산 남구 용호동 L아파트 24층 거주자의 경우는 2003년 9월 12일 오후 10시경부터 아파트 지하 주차장으로 2시간여 동안 대피했다. 천장의 전등이 좌우로 흔들리고 변기 속의 물이 출렁거릴 정도로 아파트가 심하게 진동하였기 때문이다. 아파트의 진동으로 인한 어지러움도 호소하는 경우도 있었다.(중략)
