Environmental Design) and Fire Protection Principles in the Design of
the New Form of Gas Stations and Their Surroundings
Authors: ,
Abstract: Gas stations are an integral part of public space. However, they are not only a place of buying and selling but, unfortunately, also a place with significant risks, which include robberies and, at the same time, the possibility of fires and explosions. The article is focused on safety at gas stations and a theoretical presentation of the CPTED methodology. Together with the principles of fire protection, they should contribute to the level of a safe environment. The work proposes introducing and observing measures to increase gas station safety.
