Status and Perception Analysis of Apartment Fire Safety Management System: Practical Training of Participants Working in Multi-Family Housing

Duyeol Kim, Dae-Hoon Kwak, Wangyoul Ko

This study examined the perceptions of apartment-building fire safety managers towards fire safety management systems and explored directions for institutional improvement. A survey of 41 respondents was conducted in 2025. The results showed that the current qualification system is perceived as having low relevance to practical tasks, whereas the demand for job-oriented training and customized programs that reflect apartment characteristics is high. The reliability of resident-led unit inspections was low, and the assistant system showed limited effectiveness owing to unclear roles and concurrent duties. Positive perceptions regarding the need for comprehensive safety assessments of aging apartments were identified. Regression analysis revealed that the establishment of pre-duty training regulations had a significant positive effect, whereas the introduction of customized training had a significant negative effect. These findings suggest that the system should focus on improving practical applicability and effectiveness through enhanced job training, customized education, improved inspection systems, and clearer assistant roles.
