Abstract

This study proposes a preventive, cooperative safety governance model based on building lifecycle management (BLCM), using obstructions in the evacuation routes of multi-family housing as the primary case. Analysis of inspection data from the Gyeonggi Province showed that obstructions are concentrated in corridors (58.4%) and stairwells (24.7%), with a recurrence rate of 28.1%, underscoring the limitations of purely reactive inspection systems. To address these issues, the model includes four components. First, a standardized data schema covers identifiers, temporal information, violation attributes, action histories, and evidence. Second, an automated mechanism detects repeated violations and calculates dynamic risk indices. Third, an interagency collaborative framework is enabled by permission-based access control, audit logs, and application programming interface integration. Fourth, pilot-based verification is conducted using performance indicators such as recurrence rates, processing lead times, and reductions in high-risk zones. Using empirical data, this study identifies the shortcomings of enforcement-centered approaches and demonstrates the effectiveness of preventive, continuity-based management. These findings support scalable integration across building safety domains—fire, structural, and electrical—to enhance transparency and accountability in lifecycle management.
