| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 土木工程學系在職專班 === 105 === In recent years due to hike in housing prices, most university students rent their own houses or apartments as a mode of accommodation. This caused a rise in demand for rental suites in the market. In turn, this led to many buildings to be converted into rental suites. After these buildings are renovated, the new building structures and materials for interior furnishings often have a limited capability to prevent fire. Furthermore, there is also a lack of fire protection equipment as it is unable to fully cover the increased building area. In the event of a fire hazard, large areas of the building will catch on fire. The unauthorized room separations within the building also increases the difficulty for residents to reach emergency escape routes. These reasons easily lead to high casualties and major property damages. This thesis summarizes articles, regulations, and case studies to conduct a safety inspection survey on the rental suites in Jinshan Street in Hsinchu City. The results are compiled into four major aspects to assess when evaluating fire safety risk within rental suites. Rental suite security, evacuation, rental suite organization and management, rental suite characteristics and rescue. These factors are then analyzed and compared with Japan’s “anti-disaster architecture characteristics” and Taiwan Fire Bureau’s designated Feng Shui Master recommendations, confirming the importance and compatibility of this research.
In this study, we use the D.R.U rating method and the risk assessment concept to carry out fire hazard analysis. The goal is to create a simple and feasible analysis & evaluation method for government agencies to use and promote in the future. This will allow as an easier establishment of a standardized database on fire hazard risks, providing instant regional risk assessment. This will effectively reduce the number of fire occurrences in rental suites which is able to help decrease economic loss and avoid unnecessary family tragedies.
