In general, in order to fulfill the stipulations of the Building Act, a building needs to obtain a building permit and a usage permit prior to any new construction, extension, reconstruction, or repairs. However, historical buildings and monuments are often required to keep their original style and features; it is therefore not possible to conform to all the current regulations regarding building and fire codes. This paper discusses the general conditions which do not comply with the rules, explains working procedures on current related laws, and proposes key points and principles for scrutiny of the contingency plan. Some crucial subjects are also discussed in this paper. For example, the meanings of re-recognition of the present building and fire codes on historical buildings and monuments, the importance of establishing a disaster risk assessment, contingency measures in accordance with the re-usage intensity, suggestions to the jurisdiction and responsibility amongst the relevant cultural, construction and fire safety authorities. Some key items that users or supervisors should pay more attention to in the maintenance and management phase are also proposed. Since the fire contingency plan for historical buildings and monuments does not have a common writing format, nor a definite inspection mechanism, this paper proposes a two-stage inspection process and its associated checklist. These might be able to provide the contributors of contingency plans and the authorities of historical buildings and monuments with a valuable reference. |
