Abstract
Although the effect of pre-evacuation behavior on evacuation time is known, studies to quantify pre-evacuation behavior are insufficient. To address this gap in the literature, this study analyzed the impact of personality traits on pre-evacuation behavior through a questionnaire survey. First, the DiSC personality trait type was analyzed for 312 people, and pre-evacuation behavior according to the DiSC personality trait type was analyzed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) questionnaire. The i-type prioritized evacuating along with others, S-type preferred evacuating immediately, whereas C-type showed a high priority for actions after searching for information. Moreover, males exhibited high information-seeking behaviors, whereas females showed information-transmitting behaviors. Finally, this study devised a method using personality- and gender-based pre-evacuation behavior in the division of duties among employees while establishing an evacuation plan.
