CHOICE OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF PRIMARY FIRE SAFETY MEASURES

Identification of factors that have the greatest impact on the occurrence of fires is one of the important tasks in the field of fire safety. As the fire danger of the regions of the Russian Federation is determined by the fire danger of their constituent municipalities, the solutions proposed in the field of fire safety are advised to be oriented first of all to the increase of efficiency of the local government bodies realizing primary measures of fire safety. Before the efficiency of activity of local governments can be enhanced it has to be assessed. Within the process of evaluation of the effectiveness one should choose between the factors which affect the effectiveness of the primary fire safety measures implementation. The choice of the factors is carried out by means of the statistical survey of the residents. In order to make a choice of unknown factors in the territory of a particular municipality one should define the minimum required number of respondents. This is followed by an interview of respondents through a questionnaire characterizing the basic directions of activity of local governments in the field of primary fire safety measures implementation. Upon completion of the survey data processing is carried out. Then the weights of each of the factors are determined. The last stage is the analysis of the obtained results, which are mapped to actual performance and facts, characterizing the state of fire safety on the territory of the municipality. As a result, in accordance to the selected factors a set of specific measures aimed at increasing the efficiency level of primary fire safety measures implementation on the territory of a particular municipality is proposed. The fire management in the municipality thus is being implemented.
