This study evaluated the effectiveness of fire safety education in high school dormitories high density residential environments by assessing both cognitive and behavioral changes. Pre and post surveys were combined with measurement of the Required Safe Egress Time (RSET), which recorded 264 seconds from alarm activation (T₀ + 0 sec) to final evacuation completion (T₀ + 264 sec). This enabled a quantitative analysis of behavioral improvement. Results revealed that academic performance and family background significantly influenced learning outcomes, whereas the “evacuation during fire” domain showed no statistically significant change, suggesting insufficient instructional content or delivery. Policy recommendations include customized fire safety programs reflecting learner characteristics, experiential evacuation drills, school and home safety integration, mandatory dormitory fire drills, and certification with best practice dissemination. The findings offer a practical framework for enhancing fire safety education tailored to dormitory based schools, contributing to improved preparedness, response capability, and student survival in real fire emergencies.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of fire safety education in high school dormitories—high-density residential environments—by assessing both cognitive and behavioral changes. Pre- and post-surveys were combined with measurement of the Required Safe Egress Time (RSET), which recorded 264 seconds from alarm activation (T₀ + 0 sec) to final evacuation completion (T₀ + 264 sec). This enabled a quantitative analysis of behavioral improvement. Results revealed that academic performance and family background significantly influenced learning outcomes, whereas the “evacuation during fire” domain showed no statistically significant change, suggesting insufficient instructional content or delivery. Policy recommendations include customized fire safety programs reflecting learner characteristics, experiential evacuation drills, school–home safety integration, mandatory dormitory fire drills, and certification with best-practice dissemination. The findings offer a practical framework for enhancing fire safety education tailored to dormitory-based schools, contributing to improved preparedness, response capability, and student survival in real fire emergencies.

This study aims to verify the impact of a metaverse-based safety education program on the fire safety awareness of elementary school students. Utilizing the National Fire Agency's 119 metaverse program, an educational program was implemented for two months, and the experimental group was examined using paired-sample t-tests, while comparisons with the control group were made using independent-sample t-tests. The results revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the area of fire prevention. Although no statistically significant differences were observed over time within each group, the overall average scores for the entire class improved across all areas. Based on these findings, the effectiveness of metaverse-based safety education is suggested; however, a significant difference compared to traditional education was not detected. The study concludes by exploring implications for considerations in the implementation of metaverse safety education in the future.

본 연구에서는 학교 건축물에 발생할 수 있는 화재 상황을 시뮬레이션 하는 기법에 대해 알아보기로 한다. 이에, 기존의 국내외 연구를 통해 화재 상황을 시뮬레이션 하는데 있어 고려해야 할 기본적인 요소를 파악하고 다양한 화재의 원인과 발화량에 따라 나타는 화재양상을 살펴봄으로써 적절한 화재 시뮬레이션 기법을 도출하도록 한다. 화재를 시뮬레이션 하는 방법으로는 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)를 기반으로 하는 공용 소프트웨어인 FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)를 이용하였으며, 시뮬레이션의 결과로 시간과 장소에 따라 나타나는 온도정보 및 화염의 전파 양상을 시각화하여 비교분석하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 화재 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 화재시 피난 대책, 대응인력의 투입 방법을 수립하는데 반영할 수 있으며, 화재 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 얻은 온도 정보를 이용하여 건축 구조부재의 안전성을 평가하는 데에도 활용할 수 있다.
