Analysing the Effects of Sales Stand Installations on Evacuation Dynamics in Indoor Sports Blocks
Abstrct
Indoor sports clubs, gymnasiums, and sports blocks and complexes have the potential for causing significant casualties in the event of a fire. As a result, there is a significant amount of research being done on fire safety. The impact of sales stands on fire safety is a vital aspect that needs to be considered to ensure comprehensive safety measures. This study seeks to assess the effect of sales stands on the time it takes to evacuate indoor sports blocks in the event of a fire. A fire and evacuation simulation programme were utilised to analyse the characteristics of fire and evacuation. The findings indicated that the sales stand had an impact on the time it took for sports athletes and physical workers to complete the evacuation, particularly when the corridor width was wide. However, there was no significant effect observed when the hallway width was narrow. Instead, they expanded the congested area in the hallway, resulting in a longer resolution time. It is evident that sales stand in indoor sports blocks and sports centres or complexes could potentially jeopardise evacuation safety. This study can serve as a basis for implementing safety measures. It examines how obstacles in corridors, such as those found in schools and hotels, impact the evacuation behaviour of individuals. These findings are particularly relevant for indoor sports facilities, which share similar spatial characteristics.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
