In recent years, the need for accessibility for people with impairments has been growing. This trend requires event halls, such as arenas and multi-purpose venues, to install an increased number of wheelchair-user seats at various places. However, evacuation of wheelchair users is a difficult problem, especially while the crowd of healthy people also evacuate simultaneously. This paper presents the essence of a fire evacuation design and guidance program for wheelchair users in event halls by analyzing the decision process of an actual design example of a multi-purpose venue.
