Research On Fire Protection Technology System In Traditional Settlements

Traditional settlements are generally key areas in the early days of the settlements. With the time passed by, there are many precious cultural assets in the traditional settlements. But with the development of the times, the settlements' building fire resistance rating, fire compartment and fire infrastructure can not copy with the modern fire safety standards.With the changing of land-use and growth of population, traditional settlements have more possibility to be on fire. There are many historic monuments in traditional settlements, while Chinese historic buildings are always made of wood. Once there is a fire, it is easy to spread.How to save these precious historical heritage from the fire problems is an important issue of contemporary society. The first chapter describes the source of subjects. Then from the fire situation of traditional settlements, this chapter elaborates the severity of traditional settlement fires. By researching progress at home and abroad, this chapter organize the research methods and framework of the article.The second chapter starts with the causes of traditional settlement fires and the reasons for the difficulties of fire fighting. By comparing the similarity and difference with other fires, this chapter concludes the characteristics of traditional settlement fires. By the way of analyzing the contradiction of fire fighting in traditional settlements and existing fire safety norms, this chapter explains the existing problems of traditional settlement fire fighting.The third chapter analyzes the steps and content of traditional fire fighting, starting with the basic work for fire safety inspection and methods of fire risk assessment, followed by the fire protection technology system containing four angles, including building fire protection, settlement fire protection, fire facilities and fire management. The fourth chapter classifies traditional settlements with fire facilities, and analyzes strategies with four cases. The fifth chapter is a practice case of the traditional settlement fire protection technology system. By choosing the Shi Xia village which is lack of fire rescue, expensive fire facilities and fire water supply, this chapter shows the implementation process of the whole system.The focus of this article is how to balance the particularity and generality of fires in traditional settlements when fighting them. Also, it is a series of technology that can not only protect the style and feature of the traditional settlements, but also prevent fires effectively. The system containing four angles is based on the fire safety research and fire risk assessment method that can fit the traditional settlements.
