Improving Building Permit System via Case Analysis of Temporary Buildings in Industrial Facilities

Abstract

In this study, a permit approval-stage review is proposed for the building permit system based on a case analysis of temporary buildings in domestic industrial facilities, with the aim of preventing the construction and use of connected temporary buildings following permit approval. To this end, design characteristics of connected temporary buildings are analyzed, and problems caused by the construction of such architectures are compiled based on actual incidents involving the breakout of fire. Based on our observations, we propose a minimum separation distance of 5 m as fire suppression space on all four sides of approved buildings, a secure connection to the entrance of the building to enable the evacuation of occupants, complete prohibition of the construction of new temporary buildings within the approved premises, and prohibition of the use of temporary buildings constructed with combustible materials in existing buildings constructed using major non-combustible materials.
