| Abstract |
In recent years, human society has faced growing risks from diverse disasters. Some have altered social behavior, while climate change-driven
heavy rains and floods, along with large-scale fires caused by natural or human factors, have resulted in severe casualties. Beyond prevention,
the need for systematic disaster response methods to minimize damage has become increasingly urgent. This study explores how the
architectural and urban sectors can contribute to building effective disaster response systems. A conceptual model of a smart door is
introduced, its basic mechanism implemented, and its operational performance tested in real-world situations through living lab experiments.
Across two prototype stages, the smart door system proved effective in generating data useful for disaster response, though further
improvements are needed in areas such as cost-design optimization, standardization for broader application, and platform integration. Potential
applications in buildings and data-sharing methods with disaster response organizations are also discussed. This research highlights the
significance of human-centered data, suggesting new directions for architecture and urban design in the era of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution. |
