Abstract
Many fires in buildings have indicated that behavior of occupants in period of pre-movement is important for the survival. Pre-movement time and pre-movement behavior are currently referred as most important factors during evacuation. The objective of this study is to identify the factors that influenced pre-evacuation time of occupants during an actual fire evacuation and to quantify the factors. This study proposes three kinds of factors influencing the human behavior in the event of fire in period of the pre-movement, which are fire characteristics, building characteristics, human characteristics. Through simulating fire scenes of building interior, this study will investigate occupants’ performance in the period of pre-movement. This paper is part of the study, which is to construct interaction scenarios of building interior in fire.
