Abstract

In the case of an emergency, effective evacuation is crucial to minimize losses. This paper focuses on analyzing and designing efficient evacuation routes for Rusunawa Putri UII in Yogyakarta, a dormitory building. It emphasizes ensuring safety during fires or earthquakes, particularly in densely populated structures. The research aims to enhance evacuation route efficiency through a thorough examination of layout, accessibility, and capacity. It utilizes the Pathfinder methodology, a robust analytical framework for simulating and analyzing pedestrian movement in evacuation scenarios. The study evaluates existing routes using field observations, simulations, and statistical analysis to identify areas that need improvement. The findings will guide decision-makers in optimizing evacuation plans and strengthening safety measures in similar densely populated residential buildings.

Abstract

Retail environments with high occupant density often experience crowding, which can compromise safety during emergencies, particularly when spatial layouts create constrained circulation and obstructed exits. This study evaluates the evacuation layout of Superindo Monjali, a supermarket in Yogyakarta, using Pathfinder simulation. The analysis focused on circulation geometry, aisle arrangements, cashier positioning, and exit visibility to assess how spatial configurations influence crowd movement and evacuation efficiency. Simulation results showed that, while total evacuation time (39.3 seconds) met recommended safety standards for single-storey buildings, localized bottlenecks, uneven flow distribution, and underutilization of secondary exits highlighted significant architectural limitations. These findings indicate that operational management alone is insufficient to ensure safe egress; spatial design must support efficient and balanced occupant movement. Based on the results, recommendations include improving exit visibility and accessibility, optimizing aisle and circulation layouts, and enhancing signage and wayfinding. The study demonstrates that architectural layout is a critical determinant of evacuation performance and provides a replicable framework for enhancing emergency preparedness in high-density retail settings.
