Evacuation Assessment with Simulation for the Divrigi Great Mosque and Hospital through Comparison of National and International Regulations in the Context of Fire Safety of Cultural Assets

A simulation of the Great Mosque and Hospital of Divriği revealed that its evacuation time in a fire scenario is 153 seconds, exceeding regulatory limits by 3 seconds. This study compared national and international fire safety regulations for cultural assets, highlighting gaps in Turkey's lack of specific guidelines for historical buildings. The research underscores the need for tailored fire codes to ensure the safety of such heritage sites while preserving their architectural integrity.
