Abstract

The successful evacuation of a building in a time of crisis accounts as one of the main elements of building resilience. The sustainable architecture of buildings against fire is regarded as the substructure of building resilience according to the Index Scale of "Sustainable Metropolises" since 2015. The present research method was based on the Structural Equation Analysis Procedure to collect data in questionnaire form as well as Likert Spectrum and conducted among the Commanders and Managers employed at Tehran Fire Department. The sample size was considered to be equal to 250 people based on the Cochran Formula. Research findings illustrate that understanding the components requires knowledge of "human behavior", "fire technologies", and "physical design" methods. The effective weights of the research showed that the movement for emergency evacuation of the building occurs through secondary behavioral components with a weight percentage of 0.92 through the micro-dimensions of "age and sex characteristics" followed by "technological fire alarm and extinguishing systems" with a weight of 0.91 in second place and "population concentration" with a percentage weight of 0.089 in third place. The results indicate that resilience of the physical structure of a building during a fire can be effective in successful evacuation.
