Derivation Safety Factors of Urban Regeneration Areas from a Cognitive Perspective

This study analyzed the disaster prevention plan of an activation plan for urban regeneration project sites with high safety vulnerabilities. The study aimed to identify the factors that could increase safety awareness during the chief spatial planning and commercialization stages. The factor analysis conducted by experts was categorized into four types of safety factors: friendly comprising rain gardens, green areas, rooftop greening, small trickles, rainwater storage, and rainwater catchments; technical comprising intelligent fire hydrants, smart shades, smart poles, insulated floor paving, and wall greening; structural comprising aging sign maintenance, floor heating, floor maintenance, underground wiring, and stair maintenance; and facility comprising safety fences and screening. Based on these results, cognitive safety factors should be applied during the urban regeneration planning stage to respond proactively to disasters, while improving outdated living environments.
