    Toward the Characterization of Building Occupancies for Fire Safety Engineering: Prevalence, Type, and Mobility of Disabled People (1999)
    Springer
    Fire technology 35 (1999), S. 35-50

    ISSN: 1572-8099

    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Abstract This paper is the first in a series of four that collectively provide a substantial body of knowledge on the egress capabilities of disabled people who frequent public-assembly buildings. Here, the results are given of an analysis of survey data estimating the numbers and types of disabled people who are mobile beyond their own homes, the degree of assistance they require, the percentage of the total mobile population they constitute, and the extent to which they are involved in sports and leisure pursuits. This information can be used to derive working estimates of the prevalence and nature of disability among building populations when characterizing building occupancies, a prerequisite to fire engineering.

    Methodological problems associated with the Use of the Delphi technique (1987)
    Springer
    Fire technology 23 (1987), S. 175-185 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8099
    Keywords: Fire evaluation ; expert ; consensus ; stability ; reliability ; validity ; scaling measurement

    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Abstract In this article some of the methodological problems associated with using the Delphi technique for the development of a Firesafety Evaluation (Points) Scheme are examined. These problems relate to: questionnaire design, the merits and demerits of Delphi groups versus panel groups, the definition of key terms (such as expert, consensus and stability), the reliability, validity and level of measurement achieved by Likert-type scaling techniques, and the differences in the decisionmaking processes of expert and nonexpert groups.
