The purposes of this study are to propose evacuation recommendations through evacuation model considering occupancy load model in child care center with disabilities. To achieve these purposes, the survey on the occupancy load and egress model and evacuation experiments have carried out, and evacuation occupancy load model for child care center with disabilities are suggested. The results of this study are as follows : (1) The evacuation plan for children with disabilities are necessary special considerations according the type and levels of disability, and various egress means and method for children in child care center with disabilities conditions. (2) The evacuation occupancy loads are different with non-impaired children and evacuation occupancy loads and evacuation corridors width are necessary considering impaired children's evacuation behaviors. (3) The temporal evacuation area(refuge area) is essential for children with disability who are impossible vertical evacuation such as impaired children using wheelchair and cerebral palsy.

This paper proposes architectural and evacuation recommendations through evacuation experiments of two child care centers with disabilities. To achieve these purposes, a survey on the architectural characteristics and evacuation experiments was carried out. The results were as follows: (1) the child care center with disabilities were located within one kilometer or five minutes from a fire station and 119 safety center, but the architectural characteristics and the ratio of self-moving children in a care center were very different conditions. (2) The evacuation behavior patterns of children with a disability were as follows: hugging a child by a teacher with the arms, walking with hugging and holding the child by a teacher, moving a wheelchair with a helper, and drag-out a cerebral palsied child with a mat wrapping. (3) The speed of the evacuation was fast in the following order: drag-out with a mat wrapping a child with a disability, hugging the child with the arms, walking with hugging and holding child, and moving with a wheelchair. In the case of difficulties in the vertical evacuation, a temporal evacuation area was essential for children with disability.
