Method of developing criteria for fire safety management of large-scale mass events
Introduction. The article presents a method for developing decision-making criteria for fire safety management of large-scale mass events. The formalized decision-making procedure consists in choosing the category of large-scale mass events to ensure the necessary level of fire safety. The task of the research is to formalize the method of developing decision-making criteria that take into account the importance of choice parameters with a single scale of their formation. Methods. To solve the problem of making decisions on fire safety management of large-scale mass events, methods of multi-criteria analysis can be applied. Therefore, this article formalizes the method of developing decision-making criteria, which in the future can become the basis of multi-criteria analysis. This method consists of two main stages of performing calculations: the first is to select the initial data; the second stage is aimed directly at determining the parameters of the criterion. Results and discussion. A method for developing criteria is presented, which consists of performing two consecutive stages. The method allows us to take into account both the preference of criteria and their quantitative importance in the process of making managerial decisions, which allows us to judge its universality. Conclusions. The procedure under study is designed to help in making the most preferable decision when managing fire safety of large-scale mass events. In this case, there is also the task of categorizing such events and ranking them according to various parameters of potential danger, and then correlating each specific large-scale mass event with certain measures to achieve the required level of fire safety.
