| Abstract |
The current evacuation signs of civil defense facilities can be broadly divided into guide sign and guidance sign.
It is very important role to guide the correct movement as well as provide evacuation information about civil defense facilities. Evacuation sign of civil defense facility currently inconsistently attached at each underground subway entrance which has different types of visual components including letters and pictograms along with different locations as a structural component. It caused huge visual confusion for users. In addition, due to the negligence of maintenance, many evacuation signs are corroded and discolored as well as even missed at some places. Therefore users may not be able to recognize evacuation signs of civil defense facilities.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate various types and locations for evacuation signs of civil defense facilities which is attached at underground subway entrances based on the layout principle so that users can easily identify and access subway stations in emergency. It is also provided new standards as a unified guideline of evacuation sign for civil defense facilities with considering safety issues which is the most important aspect in our society. |
