According to the data of the National Development Commission, Taiwan has turned into an aging society in 2018, and it is estimated that it will enter a super-aging society in 2025[1]; an aging society is a global trend, and the demand for long-term care is relatively high. More and more attention is paid to the elderly, especially the degeneration of various physiological functions in the elderly, and the casualties caused by disasters are the most serious. The architectural design of the institution attempts to establish a safe refuge model from the perspective of fire escape, hoping that the residents in the institution providing long-term care services can have a safe fire escape model.
This study sorts out the action patterns and abilities of the elderly from the references and analyzes the factors that affect the escape and evacuation of long-term care service institutions. Based on the analysis results in actual cases, improvement plans for building evacuation facilities and interior decoration fire resistance are carried out.
Use this result analysis to establish a standard plane mold moment, which takes into account fire zoning, two-way refuge and effective refuge facilities, and connects necessary service facilities and fire rescue and personnel escape lines. This mold moment can also be used according to different base shapes. In addition to trying to establish a safe and effective refuge space for people in the buildings of long-term care service institutions, we also hope to provide a safe and effective refuge advice model for architectural designers and related practitioners engaged in long-term care service institutions.
