Abstract

Fire disaster occurs commonly in densely populated settlements mostly due to a large number of inhabitants. Among the various types of disasters, those related to fire outbreak, need to be avoided. Therefore, it is important to determine the building density, and street conditions, with the availability of fire extinguishers to prevent fire disaster mitigation. This research examined the risk of fire disaster based on building density in a dense settlement. The research was carried out in 9 village communities in Kali Anyar Sub-district, using the case study method. Aspects of total area, number of building units, and fire accidents location were used to evaluate the cases. The result showed that the rate of fire outbreak was not always related to the building density. However, physical arrangement related to fire risk in all building is necessary to minimize the possibility of its occurrence.
