Abstract

This research aims to: 1. Study fire safety behavior in high-rise buildings, focusing on the Lumpini Project in Bangkok. 2. Compare personal factors affecting fire safety behavior. 3. Propose fire prevention measures based on residents' behavior. This is a quantitative research study utilizing questionnaires as the primary research tool. The sample group consisted of 385 residents of high-rise buildings in the Lumpini Project, determined using Taro Yamane's formula with a margin of error of 0.05. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data collected from the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as inferential statistics, such as t-tests and F-tests. The findings revealed: 1. Overall fire safety behavior was at a level requiring improvement (=1.72, S.D.=0.64). 2. Personal factors such as gender, age, and family type significantly influenced fire safety behavior at the 0.05 level. 3. Recommendations for fire prevention based on residents' behavior include enhancing knowledge and adherence to safety measures, as well as encouraging residents to actively participate in safety activities  to prevent and reduce fire risks in the future.
