These additions make them vulnerable to earthquakes and fires that may cause injury and heavy casualties. Although the government requested that these buildings be taken down, these efforts were delayed due to a variety of reasons. Because these buildings stayed up, every time a fire broke out, it quickly spread and was difficult to fight, often causing property damage and serious casualties. Even though people may still be living in these buildings, they still must be managed for disaster control. This study reviewed and analyzed the status of illegal building construction, referenced fire statistics and existing cases of illegal building fires, and analyzed the current status of illegal building construction in New Taipei City. By analyzing expert interviews, fire-fighting equipment, building fire protection plans, escape equipment, and escape routes, we devised a set of management methods and procedures to deal with the demolition of existing illegal buildings in order to achieve effective disaster reduction, life safety, and property protection. These methods can also greatly increase the chances of survival for trapped people, and allow search and rescuers to easily enter the scene to rescue and extinguish the disaster, thereby creating a win-win situation for the people and government agencies.
