Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to derive measures to reduce fire damage to logistics facilities adjacent to forests caused by rapidly increasing forest fires. Method: In order to achieve this research objective, we investigated fire safety standards in areas adjacent to forests overseas and based on this, proposed countermeasures that can be applied domestically. Result: Overseas, the concept of Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) has been introduced to establish evaluation methods and tools for fire risk in areas where forests and buildings are combined, and not only the structural performance of the building (fire protection, fire resistance, and damage resistance), but also the weather conditions around the building. The risk is assessed and countermeasures are presented in accordance with six conditions, including site conditions and the type of combustibles placed around the building. Conclusion: It is necessary to establish forest adjacency standards for logistics facilities, and it is necessary to apply building materials that exceed the standards stipulated in the law in Korea. Logistics facilities located in areas adjacent to forests are required to collect information and minimize damage from fire spread. It is believed that it is necessary to develop a tool that can quantitatively determine the level of risk.

연구목적: 본 연구는 급격히 증가하는 산불로 인한 산림에 인접한 물류시설의 화재 피해를 저감하기 위한 방안을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 국외 산림-도시 인접지역의 화재안전기준을 조사하고 이를 바탕으로 국내에 적용 가능한 대책방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과: 국외에서는 산림-도시 인접지역(WUI)의 개념을 도입하여 산림과 건축물이 인접한 지역의 화재위험성에 대한 평가방법 및 Tool을 구축하고 있으며, 건축물의 구조적인 성능(방화성, 내화성, 비손상성)뿐만 아니라 건축물 주변부의 기상상황 및 대지 조건, 건축물 주변부의 가연물 배치형태 등 6가지 조건에 맞추어 위험도를 평가하고 대책을 제시하고 있다. 결론: 국내에서는 물류시설에 대해 산림-도시 인접기준의 정립이 필요하며, 법에서 규정하고 있는 기준 이상의 건축재료의 적용이 필요하고 정보의 수집과 함께 화재확산으로 인한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 산림-도시 인접지역에 위치한 물류시설의 위험도를 정량적으로 판단할 수 있는 도구의 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
