Research Abstract |
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.
