Discussion

Network analysis reveals effective evacuation methods for primary school designs, indicating improved safety procedures.

This approach shows strong potential for enhancing evacuation efficiency in building designs by utilizing weighted networks.
The key evidence demonstrates that the method achieves an average relative deviation below 10% compared to evacuation simulations.
The methodology involves translating spatial configurations into weighted networks, creating a systematic approach for analysis.
This research highlights the need for effective design evaluation during early planning stages for optimal evacuation performance.

Cao et al. (2025) studied this question.
