The hazard assessment in which the potential hazard factors In the buildings are investigated and the scale of the hazard is analyzed should be performed first in order to prevent personal and material damages due to building fire. In this study, the building fire hazard are assessed using 822-item checklist, for the qualitative evaluation of which the main factors are classified into 10 items, yielding 100 scale points with some weighting. It is shown that present model is applicable for the assessment of all general buildings through the examination of the suitability of assessment model by actual assessment of existing building. Also, the checklist is prepared in itemized questionnaire form for easy assessment of building fire hazard. Therefore, the present model will be helpful for those working in fire prevention, who are suffering from the lack of manifest evaluation model for the fire prevention assessment so far in Korea.

The assessment of wildland fire hazard is the first priority to be considered in the prevention, extinction and control of wildland fire. For the standard to measure wildland fire hazard, the wildland fire Warning System is currently being used in Korea which computes the wildland fire occurrence hazard index through a stick weight to moisture conversion formula. It shows the risk of fuel substance being exposed to fire by meteorological factors. For a comprehensive assessment of wildland fire hazards by area, the major factors'hazards need to be measured and the assessment of wildland fire needs to be conducted through historical statistic examination. Therefore, the wildland (ire outbreak frequency and its seriousness of damage are analyzed through historical statistic examination to conduct the assessment of a wildland fire hazard, and then the calorific value of a forest is analyzed through differential scanning calorimeter measurement which assesses the comparative calorific hazard according to the geographical distribution of vegetation.

In this study, risk categorized five safety management elements(equipment and structure, evacuation, lifesaving and fire extinguishing, performance based fire safety plan, operations management) were classified in order to establish safety system of underground space. Using classified safety management elements, assessment of fire hazard was performed. After calculating the grade of evaluation categories, assessment of fire hazard was suggested. The three grades of evaluation categories are classified as to importance and four criteria of evaluation are classified as to check result based on subdivisions.

This paper has been studied about promotion system for fire assessment. Mainly system carried out for BCJ (Building Center of Japan) and JFSC (Japan Fire Safety Center) fire risk assessment system. Much of the work of fire science and fire protection engineering is now explicitly designed to fill gaps or improve accuracy or flexibility In some comprehensive fire hazard or fire risk models.

In Korea, fire hazard and risk analysis and response management planning related to existing decrepit buildings, including interior construction and architectural layout revision, due to various occupancy purposes have not been researched or established. Therefore, regulations and technical standards that can manage and reduce fire hazards and risks based on fire hazard analysis and evaluation are required. This study was performed based on a site survey and fire evacuation assessment including performancebased analysis in 3 actual existing buildings to find the life safety issues and provide improvement recommendations.

Compound hazards (CHs) are two or more extreme climate events combined which occur simultaneously in the same region at the same time. Compared to individual hazards, the combination of hazards that cause CHs can result in greater economic losses and deaths. While several extreme climate events have been recorded across Asia for the past decades, many studies have only focused on a single hazard. In this study, we assess the spatiotemporal pattern of dry compound hazards which includes drought, heatwave, fire and wind across Asia for the last 42 years (1980-2021) using the historical data from ERA5 Reanalysis dataset. We utilize a daily spatial data of each climate event to assess the occurrence of such compound hazards on a daily basis. Heatwave, fire and wind hazard occurrences are analyzed using daily percentile-based thresholds while a pre-defined threshold for SPI is applied for drought occurrence. Then, the occurrence of each type of compound hazard is taken from overlapping the map of daily occurrences of a single hazard. Lastly, a multivariate assessment are conducted to quantify the occurrence frequency, hotspots and trends of each type of compound hazard across Asia. By conducting a multivariate analysis of the occurrence of these compound hazards, we identify the relationships and interactions in dry compound hazards including droughts, heatwaves, fires, and winds, ultimately leading to better-informed decisions and strategies in the natural risk management.
