Traditional public markets are popular gathering places that can pose a risk during emergencies due to their crowded nature. Many of these markets in Taiwanare located in enclosed indoor spaces. They have few entrances and exits, dense stalls, narrow passageways, and confusing signage which make it difficult to evacuate safely during emergencies. These poor designs are particularly challenging for traditional public markets where consumers are often the elderly who have limited mobility.This study aims to use a spatial dynamic evacuation model to investigate how to achievesafety evacuation in traditional public markets. By surveying these markets, relevant information such as spatial models, mobileflow data, and human behavior patterns areobtained. Thesimulation tool Pathfinder is used to create a spatial model that simulates the market evacuation process and explores the impact of different factors on evacuation time and pedestrian density. Finally, this study proposesmeasures to enhance the evacuation efficiency of traditional public markets.Themethod proposed in this study integrates quantitative and qualitative data, hardware (buildings) and software (human behavior) data, practical experience, and simulation results, covering multiple advantages. Therefore, it can provide reference for other traditional public markets in performing risk assessment. |
