(5) The ABRI has provided the assistance to private professional organizations to promote fire
prevention and safety inspection in public buildings. Six promoting events and seminar activities

on the fire safety of buildings were held, including “2017 Fire Safety Technical Seminar for Medical
and Elderly Welfare Institutions”, “The 32nd Annual Sino-Japanese Symposium on Engineering
Technology-Architectural Research Division”, etc.

It is anticipated to deal with the research projects in 2018 pertaining to fire equipment approval and
performance design review, smoke control in large space, fire safety for elderly long-term caring institution

and parking-lot tower, capsule-type hotel fire protection, fire spread performance of exterior finished
panel, detection of fire-induced damage of reinforced concrete, structural behavior during fire of column-
beam joint of full-scale steel construction and others.

3. Urban and Architecture Disaster Prevention

The aim of “Urban and Architecture Disaster Prevention Research” is to support technology
development, to amend regulatory systems, to implement spatial system planning and to grant community
empowerment for disaster mitigation, response, and recovery, by means of R&D, detection, counseling,
and promotion. The achievements in 2017 are summarized as follows:

(1) To enhance large area catastrophic disaster resilience, urban flood mitigation, disaster prevention
for hillside residential communities, disaster prevention and mitigation for aged society, the ABRI
conducted 10 research projects. These projects related to large area catastrophic disaster resilience
field, including the reference guidelines for disaster resilience planning in local-level national

spatial plans, the promoted statutes and strategies for existing buildings seismic assessment and
retrofitting; in urban flood mitigation field, including the expansion and promotion of the cloud
operation system for detention facility design, the building information model for LID storm water
mitigation system on building sites; in disaster prevention for hillside residential communities field,

conducting the intelligent disaster prevention system for hillside community-intelligent sensing
of landslides and cloud computation; in disaster prevention and mitigation for aged society field,
conducting the disaster resilience science and technology development planning for building, as
well as town and country safety.

(2) To cooperate with comprehensive governance policy, the ABRI conducted the detention facility

design and management platform by cloud operation system for detention facility design, which
public and private sectors can use in planning, design and deliberation procedure, significantly simplify
design process and increase administration deliberation efficiency. “The Planning Handbook of
