| Abstract | This thesis, titled "Study on Fire Protection Planning for Historic Buildings after Renovation in Taiwan: A Case Study of Starbucks Outlets," investigates how commercial brands entering historic buildings can achieve a balance between heritage conservation and modern fire safety. The research focuses on four representative Starbucks outlets established in historic monumentsˇXWanhua Lin Residence, Hsinchu State Library, Former Lin Kai-tai Clinic in Chiayi, and Tainan Branch Office. Through literature review, field investigation, and case analysis, the study examines the current status of fire protection planning, regulatory challenges, and the effectiveness of improvements at these sites. In the empirical section, the fire protection facilities, evacuation routes, disaster response measures, and management systems of each Starbucks outlet before and after occupancy are analyzed. Quantitative evaluation is conducted using the "Scoring Criteria for Fire Risk Indicators of Historic Monuments, Buildings, and Settlements". The findings reveal that after Starbucks' entry, all outlets achieved significant improvements in fire and electrical safety, fire detection, fire extinguisher deployment, evacuation signage, and staff training. The introduction of "minimal intervention" equipment design has enabled the preservation of historic features while meeting disaster prevention requirements. However, due to heritage review constraints and structural limitations, none of the sites are equipped with automatic sprinkler or water mist systems, and the fireproofing of wooden components as well as nighttime emergency response capabilities remain insufficient. This study proposes a "Fire Safety Assessment Model for Commercial Revitalization of Historic Buildings," with "minimal intervention," "system integration," and "cultural compatibility" as its core principles. The model summarizes practices such as non-intrusive equipment, reversible construction methods, smart monitoring, multi-agency collaboration, and cultural integration. It is recommended that future efforts continue to promote professional training, regular drills, smart monitoring, and fire suppression technologies suitable for heritage buildings, while strengthening public-private cooperation and community engagement to achieve a harmonious balance between cultural asset preservation and fire safety. |
