장애학생들이 생활하는 특수학교의 경우 화재 발생빈도는 낮지만, 장애인은 초기 대응능력과 피난능력이 현저히 부족하므로 화재 발생 시 막대한 인명피해를 초래할 수 있다. 장애인의 안전한 피난을 위해서는 초기 소화설비와 피난에 필요한 경보설비, 피난설비의 설치 및 운영 그리고 피난보조자의 역할과 책임이 중요하기 때문에 특수학교를 대상으로 하여 소방시설의 설치 및 운영, 피난보조자의 화재안전의식에 대해 조사하였다. 그 결과 Fail-safe 원칙에 따라 2방향 이상의 피난이 가능해야 하지만 6개교 중 5개교가 평상시 안전을 이유로 비상구에 자물쇠를 채워 통행이 불가능하였고, 특수학교 교사들 중 피난시 교사들의 역할분담에 대해 54.2%가 모르고 있었으며, 피난보조자에 대해서도 64.5%가 모른다고 답하였다. 또한 소화기와 옥내소화전을 실제 사용해 본적 있는 교사는 각각 32.2%, 7.9%로 조사되어 화재발생시 초기소화를 담당해야 하는 교사들의 소화설비의 사용 경험이 부족한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a suggestion regarding how to make systematically improve the evacuation facilities of the cinema which is a large indoor space and utilizing by a numerous people. For the first, as a method of study, an analyzed on researching documentary recorders which are concerned with building codes regarding the evacuation facilities of cinema is made, and Secondary, carried out a survey of questionnaire for finding what the most audiences' idea regarding evacuation facilities of the cinema while they are utilizing the facilities, and analyzed the information. In the focus of the users, the result of analyzation reveals that as the item of practical facilities such as width and number of exit ways from viewer seats, width of corridors are highly suggested to improve practical system.

The purpose of this study is to find out the most effective evacuation alarm sound which is the one of the most important element of the evacuation guidance system as a fundamental mechanism to minimize the damages of a fire. In this regard, a survey was conducted against the firefighting officers and the general public with questions about the general awareness of fire and their preference to various kinds of fire alarm sounds. The result showed that 1) even though the awareness of the interviewees on fire was improving while there were in familiar places like homes or works. But, when they were situated in unfamiliar locations, the fire safety awareness could not be deemed to be strong. This in turn calls for the education of the public and improvement of the existing policies for the enhancement of the fire related safety awareness in unfamiliar environments. 2) For the question about the possible time they could survive in a fire or the time required for safe evacuation, it turned out that the interviewees were thinking of the time required for evacuation to be short, which calls for proper actions. 3) When the visibility in a fire situation is highly limited, the most preferred answer for the alarm sound was a female voice, saying "The emergency exit is this way," accompanies with flashing lights of sirens for the emergency evacuation guidance.

For the reduction of flood damage, it is necessary to analyse shelter activities of local residents and to publish information of floodings, In this paper the control factors of individual refuge activities which are major activities to save peoples lives against floodings have been estimated. Decision making factors for mental refuge activity by the questionnaire survey were classified into two categories: internal and external ones. Furthermore, the behaviour patterns of residents for flood risk related to geographical and social factors were derived by the quantification method n. Since spatial layered information using GIS were corrected and estimated to serve citizen's consensus due to flood disaster, it would aid reduction and minimization of flood risk.d risk.

Users of passenger ships and cruise ships are rapidly increasing year by year, and the needs of the floating architecture are newly come out. But the studies about the passengers' safety and the countermeasures against incidents on board the ships are rare, although the ships' incidents are occurred averagely 15 cases per year during last 10 years. For the purposes of the analysis of the safety consciousness and gathering the some of input data for evacuation simulation for Korean passengers on board ships, this study performed surveys targeting ordinary 394 passengers who are not specially trained and/or accustomed with onboard living conditions. The results are the followings. The reliability on ships' safety is surveyed as 32.3%. Only 14.6% of respondents are aware that there were safety education on board ship during sailing. And 42.2% and 40.9% of respondents answered that they saw the map of emergency routes and knew where the life boats are, respectively. And 73.3% select crews' direct or in-direct(like announcement by indoor broadcasting system) guidances as the most effective evacuation method.

It is necessary to build countermeasure for the reduction of flood damage, such as the analysis of shelter activities of local residents and the publishment of flood informations. The control factors for mental refuge activity by the questionnaire survey were classified and estimated into two categories: internal and external ones. Furthermore, the optimal time for refuse activities related to flood risk was derived by hydraulic simulation. The shelter activities considering inundation depth will serve citizen's consensus by exercise, it would aid to support the activities to minimize flood victims.

As multiplex available premises become more complex and diversified due to increasing social and individual demands, the evacuation safety gradually deteriorates exhibiting functional difficulties even in ordinary fires. Considering the limitations of passive evacuation systems such as evacuation stairs and corridors, an evacuation facility must be designed, installed, and maintained the way that it remains fully functional and efficient when fire breaks out. This study tries to identify the issues of evacuation facilities and devise how to improve them by investigating the evacuation facility efficiencies of multiplex available premises and conducting a survey on fire safety attitude.

The existing algorithms or programs of egress time estimations rule out the walking velocity of each single person. But this algorithm can not be applied to estimation of evacuation in a hospital, because most patients are handicapped or walking on various kinds of tools. This study measured the moving velocities of patients according to different types of physical handicap. Also evacuation drills in several hospitals were carried out to establish an algorithm for prediction of total egress time of wards. Besides these measurements awareness of staffs about safety was investigated with the questionnaire. The results of this study is divided into two serial papers.

Through the use and development of underground spaces, subways have become a representative means of transportation in the city center. Due to the extension of subway lines and the increase in the number of subway users, there is a risk that safety for evacuating human lives in case of fire will not be secured. Therefore, this study tried to identify citizens' perceptions of evacuation facilities through questionnaires and find alternatives. An online survey of 115 subway passengers was conducted to learn about citizens' awareness of subway evacuation facilities. As a result of the survey, awareness of evacuation facilities was high in the order of guidance lights, life-saving devices, emergency lights and portable lights, special evacuation stairs, and evacuation stairs. In addition, the majority of the respondents said they were not well aware of evacuation facilities, and people's indifference was the most common cause. As a solution to the lack of awareness, responses to active advertising and promotion, education and experience activities were the highest.
