Traditional regions in urban cities usually have higher fire risk because of mixed land using and high density of old buildings without considering fire prevention. Such regions exist as a kind of potential danger threatening the city. Thus, how to reduce fire risk and to improve environment of these areas have become an important issue in urban disaster mitigation plan. Tainan city is an ancient city which developed in 17th Century. There are many traditional cultural treasures and old buildings located in the central part of city. In this research, the fire risk of Provintia (Chih-Kan) Cultural Area in Tainan city is chosen into discussion. The purpose of the research is to provide suggestions of fire safety management for this region. The methodology of this research includes literature review, field survey, simulation and questionnaire. Through field survey and fire spreading simulation, it is found that regional fire risk is related to several factors which are architectural materials, interval and density of the buildings, narrow streets, lack of firefighting installations, mixed-use land, local high-risk businesses, lack of education and firefighting managements. Besides, the results of questionnaire point out that residents are required to be strengthened the knowledge of firefighting. Moreover, the conservative attitude of residents is shown when they were asked to improve living quality for fire safety with sacrifice of personal benefit. Finally, seven suggestions for fire safety planning are suggested to Chih-Kan Cultural Zone which are: 1. Upgrading protection for building, 2. Ensuring disaster prevention routes, 3. Enhancing the fire-proof system of the business , 4. Upgrading safety usage for firefighting system, 5. Ensuring evacuation safety, 6. Setting up firefighting organization of community level, and 7.
