최근 산업의 고도화에 따른 건물의 고층화로 하나 또는 그 이상의 승강기를 보유한 건물들이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 건물에서 화재와 같은 긴급한 재난 발생 시 피난계단을 이용하여 탈출해야 한다는 상식에도 불구하고 본능적으로 승강기를 이용하여 대피하려는 경향이 뚜렷하다. 화재상황에서 승강기 이용 시 독성의 연기 유입으로 피난 활동이 어려우며, 전원 차단으로 정지 시 연기에 질식사할 확률이 급증한다. 따라서 승강기 내부로의 고립이나 승강기를 이용한 피난활동 시 연기로부터 안전한 호흡장치의 개발을 위한 연구를 진행하고자 한다.

최근 우리나라는 사회경제적 발전과 함께 본격적인 고도기술사회로 진입하였다. 그러나 사회의 복잡성 증가로 인하여 오히려 재난에 대한 개인의 대응 능력은 낮아지고 있다. 즉 재난발생시 개인이 파악할 수 있는 정보의 한계로 인하여 정확한 상황판단 및 재난대응이 어려워진 것이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 지향성 스피커를 활용하여 사람들에게 재난발생 상황 및 피난에 유효한 정보들을 효과적으로 제공할 수 있는 기술을 제안한다. 또한 센서네트워크를 통하여 재난상황을 종합적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템과 연계하여 IoT기반의 지향성스피커 시스템을 개발하여 다양한 사회재난에 활용이 가능한 재난상황 및 피난 유효정보 제공시스템을 제안한다.

This study is a preparation for the application of FSA (Formal Safety Assessment) to the fire safety of ships. FSA is the new-fashioned methodology proposed to prevent ships from the accidents. To make a base of the fire safety assessment about ship's fire protection design and Classification Society rule, statistical informations for the fire safety engineering are investigated. From results, the necessity of new criterion for ship's fire safety design, the need to study the human behavior in the evacuation from fire, and the development of new fire progress model considering special situations in ships are acknowledged.

The purpose of this study was to assess the evacuation route in a disaster information map to evacuate people to a shelter quickly and precisely during a disaster situation. For this purpose, this study examined the current status of domestic and international disaster information maps and related laws and conducted experiments to derive effective types of intersecting routes. The problems of the disaster information map were obtained through the first preliminary experiment and a survey. Based on these problems, experiments for each type were conducted to provide effective indication information for a disaster information map. To investigate the gait characteristics according to the number of crossing paths, the reduction rate in the crossing path was derived for each type by comparing the previous speed and passing speed. This will enable suggestions to judge the route quickly and accurately when determining the intersecting route in the search for an evacuation route. In conclusion, the experiment of this paper aims to make rapid and accurate evacuations using the disaster information map in response to disasters, and provide guidelines to citizens to contribute to a reduction of casualties.

The occurrence a fire on a training ship with a large number of people on board can lead to severe casualties. Hence the Seafarers' Act and Safety Life At Sea(SOLAS) emphasizes the importance of the abandon ship drill. Therefore, in this study, the training ship of Mokpo National Maritime University, Segero, which has a large number of people on board, was selected as the target ship and the likelihood and severity of fire accidents on each deck were predicted through the preliminary hazard analysis(PHA) qualitative risk assessment. Additionally, assuming a fire in a high-risk area, a simulation of evacuation time and population density was performed to quantitatively predict the risk. The the total evacuation time was predicted to be the longest at 501s in the meal time scenario, in which the population distribution was concentrated in one area. Depending on the scenario, some decks had relatively high population densities of over 1.4pers/m², preventing stagnation in the number of evacuees. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data to develop training scenarios for training ships by quantifying evacuation time and population density according to various evacuation scenarios, and the research can be expanded in the future through comparison of mathematical models and experimental values.

This study simulates and compares the evacuation time and characteristics according to the living patterns on board a training ship which was launched in Dec. 2005, on the viewpoint of the various activities being possible on board a cruise ship. Based on interviews with personnels on board, 3 living patterns are set as representative living conditions; Pattern A(all personnels are positioned at their cabins), Pattern B(all personnels are positioned at lecture rooms, offices or else), Pattern C(all personnels are positioned at restaurant or cafeteria). The simulation results show that Pattern B is comparatively ideal because the evacuation time is short and there is less delay of personnels' movement on each deck. On the contrary, Pattern C is evaluated as the worst because the average evacuation time took more than 360 seconds and the bottle-neck happened at Upper deck. As a result, this study proposes the needs of various countermeasures against the fire and/or disaster, considering the various living patterns on cruiser(s) and/or passenger ship(s).

In this study, the construction trend of skyscraper was summarized chirologically to examine the characteristics and current, and the issue in evacuation was examined through the case of fire breakout in skyscraper. Based on this, the type of evacuation using the emergency stairway during the fire breakout in skyscraper was decided on six types and empirical experiment was conducted for each type. The issues on the participants that participated in the emergency stairway evacuation experiment from the fire breakout in skyscraper and the difficulties in the evacuation were qualitatively evaluated to summarize each element of hindrance to summarize basic information on emergency stairway evacuation.

Fire resistance performance and performance design of fire doors are becoming more important to prevent the spread of fire and support the rapid evacuation of apartment buildings. In this study, a database using 182 evacuation spaces and 308 common areas that passed the fire performance test was established, and fire door performance influencing factors were derived through an analysis of the structure(12 elements) of the fire door. As a result, the effects of fire-resisting filler density, adhesive, and foam gasket were confirmed for evacuation space, and the effects of fire-resisting filler, adhesive, and fire fins were confirmed for common areas. In the fire door fire resistance test, flames and cracks were analyzed as the most frequent failure factors.

Following the September $12^{th}$, 2016 earthquake in Gyeongju-city, the observation can be made that South Korea is not a non-earthquake country. Because of its particular characteristics, urban green spaces are good sites for protection during an earthquake but studies regarding the suitability of park green spaces as a form of earthquake shelter are few, making it difficult to highlight the function of park green spaces as emergency shelters. The purpose of this study is to identify indicators for suitability impact factors of comprehensive parks as emergency earthquake shelter zones. Using the Delphi method, three rounds of survey were implemented. According to the analysis results of Average value, CVR, Consultation and Convergence, ten candidate indicators were removed in the candidate group. Twenty-seven suitability impact factors of comprehensive parks were retained, including 8 indicators in the field of safety, 6 indicators in the field of accessibility, and 13 indicators in the field of service effectiveness.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of the number of users and their spatial distribution on the evacuation time in a road tunnel in the event of a fire. An agent-based evacuation model was implemented using Netlogo following the ODD protocol. The proposed model illustrates how the evacuation behavior of one can hinder others across different evacuation environments. Simulations show that evacuation time increases with the number of users when they are randomly located in a road tunnel.
