The Development of Scenarios for Serious Game: A Case for Fire Evacuation

摘要

The building sector struggles from the aspects of safety and security during evacuations, such as fire evacuation, especially in current times, where usual drills are insufficient. The situation is further exacerbated as previous evacuations in high-rise buildings show deficiencies in design procedures because of contempt on code's minimum requirement by designers. The popularity of Serious Games has increased widely and proved to be a very effective training tool in many sectors. Serious Games can assist in preparing qualified designers, whereby they are able to conduct experiments within the game safely and in repeatable environments. Developing scenarios play a huge part towards the development of a serious game. However, making the game scenarios has been a challenging quest and requires further exploration. In this paper, we are defining and developing the scenarios for a serious game in fire evacuation by consolidating real-life fire accident data that would be clustered using K-Means algorithm through the R-Studio programme. The outcome of this study would be scenarios and a brief form of evaluation towards the development of a serious game for fire evacuation.
