Abstract
The number of high-rise buildings already constructed and/or being constructed is getting increased both domestically and internationally, for example, Lotte World 2 in Seoul and Taipei 101 in Taiwan, respectively. Maintenances of those skyscrapers, especially in fire-fighting safety, would be different from those of conventional buildings and are one of keen issues. In this study, the features of risks in aspects of fire-fighting safety for the buildings are investigated and the corresponding fire safety measures are proposed to prevent the disasters and to minimize the personal and property damages from it. The proposals include the specialization in self fire-fighting managements, the realization of self fire-fighting maintenance, the establishment of the integrated fire-fighting system, and the correction of inconsistencies in related laws on fire-fighting safety.
