疏散前反应的延迟可能是导致居住者被“困”在危险区域的原因之一。在火警情况下，人们的行为各不相同，有些人可能立即开始疏散，有些人可能无视火警警报并从事自己的活动，有些人可能参与灭火。这些行为反应模式受到一些因素的影响，如居住者特征、建筑特征和火灾特征。本研究旨在探讨火灾下人员的预疏散行为，并探讨这些因素与人类行为之间的关系。为了获得真实的火灾中人的行为信息，在当地消防专业人员的协助下，对中国大陆某大城市的多层办公楼火灾进行了事后调查。分析了在初始和响应阶段可能影响乘员行为的一些因素。认为识别和反应阶段的行为反应除火灾特征外，主要取决于人体特征和建筑特征。结果还表明，疏散前的时间通常是由乘员的特性的影响。
A delay in the pre-evacuation reaction may be one of the reasons causing occupants to be ‘trapped’ in a dangerous zone. Under fire situations, people are found to behave differently in that some may start evacuation immediately, some may ignore the fire alarms and engage in their activities and some others may participate in fighting the fire. These behavioral reaction patterns are influenced by some factors, such as occupant characteristics, building characteristics and fire characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pre-evacuation behavior of occupants under fire and explore the associations between these factors and the human behavior. To obtain the human behavioral information in real fire, a post-fire survey for a multi-storey office building fire in a major city in Mainland China was carried out with the assistance of local fire professionals. Some of the possible factors that might influence the occupants’ actions at recognitions and response stage were examined. It was reckoned that the behavioral reaction at recognition and response stage was mainly dependent on the human characteristics and building characteristics except the fire characteristics. The results also implied that pre-evacuation time was typically influenced by the occupant characteristics.
