碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 建築所 === 95 === On July 16th , 2006, in Taiwan, there had been an accident of gas explosion at a self-service laundry at Banqiao in Taipei County, which caused great losses of lives and properties. The issues of fire safety control of city are revealed due to this accident. In fact, for cost-saving reason, some self-service laundries use gas as power instead of electricity. According to Regulation of Public Hazardous Substances & Flammable Pressurized Gases Establishment Standards & Safety Control Procedures, the storage amount of liquefied petroleum gas should not be over 80 kilograms for business use. However, the indefiniteness and negligence are still existed in the position of self-service laundries and the administration of self-service laundries by fire regulations. The above-mentioned reasons are the motives of this research. Based on the safety-conservation characteristics of public business, this research investigates the fire precaution planning and the security management of self-service laundries, in order to adopt a strategy for fire precaution in self-service laundries, to increase the fire precaution capability of self-service laundries, and to avoid fire occurrence. The chosen areas are vicinities of some universities in Taizhong city. The main reason for choosing these areas is that the quantities of self-service laundries over these areas are higher than other areas. The investigation method is first to get elementary data by field investigation, after that, the data are analyzed by using experts′ questionnaires and Analytic Hierarchy Process, to find out the weighing of each potential risk factors of public security environment. Furthermore, some reasonable suggestions and rules could be brought up to the security assessment of self-service laundries. Four perspectives of this research are as follows: 1. To build standard steps for installing gas devices and basic protection measures in self-service laundries. 2. To make the fire precaution plans and the security management models. 3. To find the best strategy for fire precaution for self-service laundries and to attract citizens’ attention on public security of self-service laundries. 4.
