Human Behavior in Institutional Fires and Its Design Implications
The objective of this project is to derive design implications from the in-depth analysis of behavior in institutional settings under fire. The context and data for this pursuit are drawn from ten case studies of significant nursing home fires which occurred in the United States between 1970 and 1974. The methodology used is based on a graphical (pictorial) and narrative mapping of fire and people behavior and it is an extension of the mapping system report in Report NBS-GCR 76-73 'Mapping of Recurrent Behavior Patterns in Institutional Building Under Fire: Ten Case Studies of Nursing Facilities.'
