Abstract: (17 Views)
Purpose: For reduce the risks of fires to citizens, it is essential to analyze space-time constraints for firefighters. In Region 19, the spatio-temporal patterns of fires vary depending on time, location, and their causes.Purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of urban space restrictions on performance of dispatch forces and fire trucks in crisis conditions in the 19th district of Tehran. Considering the blockage of crossings, the incorrect structure of urban designs, and the lack of supervision by authorities over urban traffic, it is essential to address the challenges of dispatching firefighters due to limited urban space
Methodology and data: Present research method is descriptive-correlation. statistical population included 210 operational personnel of the stations covered by the 19th district of Tehran. Sampling was random and the sample size was determined by Morgan table of 132 people. research tool was a questionnaire with 30 items, whose content validity was confirmed by fire experts. reliability of the questionnaire was obtained using SPSS40 software and Cronbach's alpha was 0.76. Smirnov's chromograph and regression tests were used to determine the normality of data and determine the relationship between variables. In the studied area, no research has been done about the limitations and problems of the urban space for dispatching fire brigades, so it is innovative from this point of view. assumption of the research is that the limitations of the urban space have a significant effect on the performance of dispatch forces and firefighting vehicles in crisis conditions in the region. question of the research is whether the limitations of the urban space have an effect on the performance of dispatch forces and fire engines in crisis conditions in the 19th district of Tehran.
Findings: Findings indicate that the correlation coefficient of dilapidated tissues, urban infrastructure, population growth and transportation with respect to performance of the dispatch force and fire trucks are 0.51, 0.48, 0.45, and 0.32, respectively. It is in the direction of the photo. variable of dilapidated tissues, 26.2%, urban infrastructure, 23.7%, population growth, 20.9%, and public transportation, 10.5%, predicts the performance of the dispatch force and fire trucks in the opposite direction.
Conclusion: Results of this research showed that the limitations of the urban space, including the limitations of worn-out fabric, urban infrastructure, population growth, and public transportation, have a significant effect on the performance of dispatch forces and fire engines in crisis situations in Tehran. Also, the limitations of the urban space have reduced the performance of dispatch forces and firefighting vehicles in crisis conditions.
