Abstract :
As buildings have been, recently, constructed higher and more complex, the activities of the residents have also become more various. As a result, possibility and the size of the damage from the disaster like a fire are getting larger. So, many studies for preventing the damage are being conducted. From this study, a new process for finding the refuge path is presented, which is different from existing methods which seek the shortest path. It will propose an optimum path for safe refuse and be applied to a multiplex building. It will also be compared with existing methods to offer a vision for more effective ways.
