ABSTRACT Shopping malls are fundamentally large complex buildings occupied by considerable numbers of the general public and shop staff. These buildings must be planned to be safe and in the event of an emergency or fire outbreak, allow for fast and safe evacuation from the building by all its occupants. In designs, fire safety is one of the most .important and Complex considerations. Fire safety requirements will be more onerous for enclosed and covered shopping malls than for open street based schemes. Shopping malls are approached by people from different walk of life. These buildings are marked by their diversity in activities.
