| Abstract |
This study investigates factors influencing apartment evacuation performance by analyzing perceptions from residents, fire experts, and architectural experts. Residents and fire experts stress the importance of accessible evacuation and rescue equipment during emergencies, while architectural experts highlight planning aspects like route maintenance and evacuation safety zones. All groups agree that evacuation ease decreases with building height, suggesting a need for improved equipment and enhanced safety measures in taller apartments. The findings highlight the necessity of combining practical evacuation and rescue equipment with strategic planning to boost evacuation performance, particularly in high-rise apartments. Ensuring safe evacuations requires proposing legal reforms and validating strategies through experiments and simulations. Additionally, fostering collaboration among these groups can lead to comprehensive and effective solutions addressing both practical needs and planning considerations. |
