Abstract

The current building escape regulation is specification standard mostly according to the purpose and size of the building. Therefore, for the operation of the regulation, the classifications of building use must be clear and consistent, but the classifications of the architectural field and the fire-fighting field are somewhat different. Moreover, the occupants density, which is the very basic standard for escape performance design, also somewhat differs depending on the individual law. Therefore, through comparative analysis of the classifications of building use and occupants density defined in each individual law including the Building Act, this study aims to use this analysis as the basic material for re-establishing the classifications of building use and occupants density of Korea in the future.
