20.500.12556/DiRROS-17264 Closing data gaps and paving the way for pan-European fire safety efforts Part I The analysis of the current state of fire statistics and data collection in Europe and other countries is needed to increase awareness of how fire incidents affect buildings and to support pan-European fire prevention and fire mitigation mea- sures. The terminology and data collected regarding fire incidents in buildings in the EU Member States were mapped to obtain meaningful datasets to determine common terminology, collection methodology, and data interpretation system. An extensive literature review showed that fire data collection systems have been instrumental in informing firefighting strategies, evidence-based planning, prevention, and educational programmes. Differences and similarities between fire data collection systems were also investigated. The amount and quality of the information in fire statistical recording systems appear to be influenced by the complexity and structure with which the data are collected. The analysis also examined the existing fire statistics in the EU Member States and a few other countries. Finally, a detailed investigation of the number of fires, fire deaths, and injuries from 2009 to 2018 in several countries was examined based on data from a report by CTIF. The trends showed differences attributable to the existing fire statistical practices in terms of terminology and data collection, and interpretation. Part II proposes a common terminology for selected fire statistical variables. The results provide relevant information regarding fire safety at the European level and should be used to guide the development of more uniform fire statistics across Europe. fire statistics fire incidents fire statistical variable terminology data collection data interpretation statistika požarov požarni dogodki statistične spremenljivke o požarih terminologija zbiranje podatkov interpretacija podatkov true false true Kluwer Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2023 The Author(s) Neznano 2023-11-13 10:41:46 2023-11-13 10:41:47 2023-11-14 03:36:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Opis vira z dne 20. 9. 2023; Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; str. 1925–1968 iss. 4 Vol. 59 Jul. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-09-26 624 1572-8099 10.1007/s10694-023-01415-6 165167619 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10694-023-01415-6 1 79e1df34-8200-11ee-9ccb-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=23443 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije 0 0 0
