SYSTEM ANALYSIS FOR FIRE PROTECTION PLANNING : 1. The method of total evaluation of fire protection planning

This study deals with a system evaluation for fire protection planning of buildings. The state of fired building could be analysed to the next four aspects, 1. fire, 2. information, 3. extinguishment, 4. refuge. All the elements which have a relationship to fire and refuge, were listed according to these 4 aspects, and were studied the function between each others. They were arranged as a diagram which express correlationship between those elements, and the program which simulate the state of fire, including smoke, discovery, information, refuge and extinguishment, was settled for the purpose of evaluation of fire protection plannings. For the first case-study a high story apartment house project which is thought to become a proto-type of housing in the cities, has been chosen. In this report, the result of refuge simulation and feed-back to the planning were explained.
