| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop an environmental design evaluation model that can evaluate the possibility of preventing lost
children within complex commercial facilities. First, the concept of the “Line for Prevention of Breakaway”, which adopted the defense line
of CPTED, was newly defined. This concept was used as the standard for setting evaluation subjects and areas in this study. To score items
within each evaluation area, a “Simple Additive Weighting Method” was applied; the applied weighted value was calculated by multiplying
the weight of child loss risks obtained from the “Risk Matrix” and the weight of environmental elements of child loss prevention from each
evaluation area. The evaluation scores from each area and item were estimated by multiplying the calculated weighted value with an average
importance score from each environmental element of an evaluation item; the score was then reallocated based on the importance of each
respective item. This evaluation model was verified in field investigations of four complex commercial facilities. A correlation analysis was
used to compare each area’s score and total scores with the rate of occurrence among lost children in these facilities. This evaluation model
proved its significance to predict and prevent losing children in complex commercial facilities. |
