Influence of Information and Architectural Space on Evacuation Decision-making in Case of Emergency

本研究的重点是在紧急情况下，导致疏散的决定的过程中，检查它是如何受到人们收到的各种火灾信息和建筑空间的特点，他们在。在这项研究中，在视听模拟实验室内创建了一个虚拟办公室。研究结果表明：1）听到火灾警报和火灾警报警告之前，实际的火灾公告鼓励早期决策，2）持续重复的火灾警报和公告是有效的，促使人们调查他们的周围环境，因此决定撤离，和3）决策往往被推迟在一个房间里没有窗户沿着走廊和较高的隔音。

The present study focuses on the process leading up to the decision to evacuate in case of emergency, examining how it is influenced by the kinds of fire information people receive and the characteristics of the architectural space they are in. For the study, a virtual office room was created inside an audio-visual simulation laboratory. Findings revealed that 1) hearing a fire alarm and a fire-alarm warning prior to the actual fire announcement encourages earlier decision-making, 2) persistent repeating of fire alarms and announcements is effective in prompting people to investigate their surroundings and therefore decide to evacuate, and 3) decision-making tends to be delayed in a room with no windows along the corridor and higher sound insulation.
