Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relative importance of FRI evaluation items in deteriorated building districts using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for the development of an FRI evaluation platform for deteriorated building districts. To this end, the AHP model was designed for 12 major evaluation items to evaluate the fire risk index of the deteriorated building district, and a total of 81 fire experts, including 47 fire officers, 17 university professors & researchers, and 17 fire-related industry experts were selected. The relative importance they assigned to the various items was determined through conducting a survey of the subjects. As a result, it was possible to analyze the relative importance of risk factors and fire extinguishing facilities, which are evaluation areas, and the relative importance of each evaluation item constituting construction information, risk factors, and fire extinguishing facilities.

Keywords
