Abstract
The authors had previously proposed a method of evaluating fire safety in office buildings, based on a combination of statistical data and survey data obtained from questionnaires. The fire safety performance of the building and the characteristic value for "Fire damage area and Fire damage area rate" as the damaged quantities, was analyzed to develop an overall simplified index for the relationship. In this paper, the approach is applied to office buildings, factories and hospital to try and confirm the possibility of expanding the proposed method from the viewpoint of fire damage area rate as the damaged quantities to these building occupancies. Fire damage area rate was calculated by using fire preventing zone area or total floor area and fire damage area by "Fire report". With analyzing the properties of fire damage area rate, it was tried to examine the relation between the hard factor and the soft factor that was important factor and the influence of the regulations system to the fire damage area rate.
