Abstract
The purpose of this article is to introduce a conceptual model of human behaviour in fire. This model is constructed based upon a theoretical framework of individual decision-making and response to emergencies, and from this foundation, is populated with behavioural statements or mini-theories predominantly from human behaviour in fire. These behavioural statements are extracted from articles and authoritative reports describing incidents, observations from within the field of evacuation analysis and human behaviour in fire . These statements are used to guide the model developer and model user in their attempts to better represent the evacuee decision-making process.Proceedings Title
