초록

재난 상황에서 통로유도등이 안내하는 방향을 빠르고 정확하게 인식하여 올바른 탈출 경로를 선택하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 통로유도등은 좌우 화살표로 방향을 안내하기 때문에, 수평면에서의 설치 위치에 따라 공간 스트룹 효과가 발생할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 장면에서 복도통로유도등과 거실통로유도등의 설치 위치에 따라 스트룹 촉진효과와 간섭효과가 나타나는가를 확인하고자 실험실 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 모든 장면에 걸쳐 간섭효과가 관찰되었다. 촉진효과의 경우에는 복도통로유도등 장면에서는 강하게 관찰되었지만, 거실통로유도등 장면에서는 다소 약하게 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 공간 스트룹 효과로 인하여, 통로유도등의 수평 설치 위치가 피난 행동에 중대한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 피난 상황에서 사람들의 빠르고 정확한 의사결정을 위해서는 본 연구의 결과가 정책적으로 반영되어야 할 것이다.

Abstract

It is vital to select a correct evacuation route based on the direction guided by emergency evacuation route signs during a disaster. Because emergency evacuation route signs guide evacuation directions using left and right arrows, it is possible to produce the spatial Stroop effect due to the direction of the emergency evacuation route sign and its installed location. The current study conducted a laboratory experiment to examine whether the Stroop facilitation and/or interference effect is observed due to the installed location of the emergency evacuation route sign in various scenes. The results showed that the interference effect was strongly observed across scenes whereas the facilitation effect was weaker in stair-scenes than in corridor-scenes. These results indicate that the installed location of the emergency evacuation route sign in the horizontal plane can strongly affect human evacuation behavior. Therefore, the current findings should be legislated in a standard manner for fast and accurate human decision making in evacuation situations.
