This study aimed to suggest an analysis model quantifying spaces vulnerable to evacuation situations such as a fire accident in general hospitals. Overall study procedure included the legal understanding of emergency exit, the search for frequent fire accident spots and space analysis of hospital. In evacuation simulation, two exit conditions were considered: one was to block walkable spaces around frequent fire spots, and the other was not to block them. User conditions were varied with the use of a crutch, wheelchair. In the application of evacuation simulation model, blocking walkable spaces around frequent fire spots had agents use bypasses and revealed vulnerable evacuation spaces from the result of unblocking condition. In the case of the simulation considering the user’s walking behavior, delayed evacuation result appeared. Finally, this study suggested an analysis model finding spaces vulnerable to evacuation with consideration of bypass and a patient’s walking behavior.
