Abstract
This study aimed to propose the fire spreading simulation system, which can evaluate the effect of a small-scale green space to intercept the fire spread. In this simulation, the fire spreads through the shortest time course between the buildings. And if there were some trees between the buildings, it judged whether the trees intercept the fire spread. As a result of the simulation at Nagata-Ward, Kobe-City, the difference of the burned buildings area between the actual case and simulated case was just 2242m2. The total burned buildings area of the actual case was 63055m2. The simulation could reproduce actual fire spread generally. And the maximum difference of the burned buildings between the case it takes into consideration a small-scale green space and the case it does not was 4717m2. By taking into consideration the small-scale green space, the accuracy of a simulation improved.
