The mayday way : Navigering på kryssningsfartyg vid evakuering av brand

Olsson, Nicolina January 2022 (has links)
Abstract  Nowadays we travel much more than we did before, this is mainly due to how easy it has become to get to different places. Traveling took a break during the corona pandemic but  has now recovered a lot. Among these means of transport, we have cruise ships that are becoming increasingly common due to greater demand. The result of this is leading to more and larger ships with more passengers. Today, there are evacuation theories and analyzes on how an evacuation should be carried out to save as many lives as possible. However, these theories lack spatial communication to passengers which can have devastating consequences.The work is for the completion of a bachelor's degree in information design with a focus on spatial design. The purpose of the study was to study how the room can support an existing evacuation plan and how an evacuation system can be developed to lead people away from danger. The purpose is also about human spatial needs and how space can be developed to facilitate an evacuation.This was carried out in collaboration with Tallink Silja Line, which is the Baltic Sea's largest shipping company with its head office in Stockholm. Tallink works actively to improve safety on board its vessels. In order to get a clear picture of the problems and the passengers' needs, site analyzes, interviews, questionnaires & behavioral mappings have been carried out. These methods are then combined with theories of visual communication and crowd management to develop a design proposal that orients passengers when evacuating fire on cruise ships.Using theories from information design and human behavior, a wayshowing system has been built in order to increase the orientability of cruise ships. The system is built after site analysis on a specific ship but aims to work in a larger context.
