Neighboring living facilities and commercial housing have increased along with the rapid expansion of the city. However, unlike general apartment complexes and planned cities, most buildings are built on a narrow site in neighborhood living facilities and commercial housing areas, so securing sidewalk blocks, which are pedestrian passages, is insufficient. The water supply fire hydrant installed in such a narrow sidewalk block has become an obstacle to pedestrian traffic. As a result of the survey, 62% of the walking passages in places where water supply fire hydrant (including protective frames) are installed in the sidewalk block were less than 1.5m. The "Rules on Road Structure and Facility Standards" stipulate that the minimum width of the sidewalk block is 2m or more, and the obstacles and effective width of passage are 1.5m or more. In addition, it was confirmed that the protective frame was interfering with the connection of the fire hydrant hose according to the media reports and the actual results of this study. Therefore, it is necessary to secure a space where the water supply fire hydrant can be used smoothly in case of fire and a safe walking passage, and to manufacture a protective frame, establish construction standards, and prepare legal and institutional standards for efficient maintenance.
