ASSESSMENT OF FIRE HAZARD SYSTEM AND EVACUATION ROUTE QUALITY: COSAN CAFE AND DRAGON HOTPOT BUILDING

Abstract

Commercial places in Yogyakarta are currently experiencing an increase in popularity, especially restaurants and cafes. One example is Cosan Cafe and Dragon Hotpot with a location and feel that attracts many visitors to come. The purpose of this research is to provide a performance development of fire disaster mitigation and handling systems in Cosan Cafe and Dragon Hotpot building, (1) where the existing facilities will be evaluated to find out the quality of the fire hazard system and evacuation routes according to the standard. (2) To understand the problem, the research will be accompanied by a literature review as a reference for discussion. The research will use two stages of methods, first, direct observation and measurement of the study object by applying the Fire Hazard Assessment tool for standard analysis. Evacuation data will be analyzed using Pathfinder simulation tools to assess the quality of existing evacuation routes. (3) Based on the research results, there is a fire hazard system that is still inadequate in quantity and quality. On the other hand, the quality of evacuation routes still has a long duration when judged by the standard time, which is 150s. (4) Overall, the results and discussions include some improvements in the selection of more efficient evacuation routes and the completeness of fire hazard systems to improve building performance.
