###### Abstract
An earlier definition [3] stated that wayfinding refers to the planning and decision making that allows one to reach a destination that is not in the immediate sensory field and includes such tasks as choosing efficient routes, scheduling, and interpreting verbal route directions. Human behaviour during fire emergencies is hard to predict, as humans tend to behave differently depending on a large number of factors. Human behaviour in fire emergencies is defined as the study of human response, including people's awareness, beliefs, attitude, motivations, decision making, and coping strategies, during exposure to fire and other similar emergencies in buildings, structures, and/or transportation systems [6]. In addition, human behaviour can be defined as the actions people take in a particular situation, their intentions for action, and the considerations before any action is carried out [7]. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which resulted in the death of more than 2000 people in the United States [6], the understanding of human behaviour under fire situations has changed. However, recent fire disasters, such as the Grenfell Tower disaster in London, present a bleak reminder that, despite the advancements in fire safety, there is still some room to learn from these occurrences and it remains necessary to reflect upon the adequacy of fire safety preparedness [8]. The behaviour of occupants in high-rise residential buildings is different compared with in other buildings. The complexity of the egress routes means that the effects of occupants being asleep, cooking, or not dressed can have unforeseeable effects on egress time in high-rise buildings. Due to the variety of domestic actions occupants are undertaking, they are often not ready to evacuate. Occupant behaviour would vary depending on three major elements, namely the characteristics of the occupants, the building, and the fire [9]. A number of evacuation factors and activities experienced during the pre-evacuation stage have been identified in previous research [10]. The most important activity described was occupants investigating the origin of the fire. In this stage, people tend to gather information to determine the level of hazard and whether it is a false alarm. The second activity was occupants starting to evacuate after a clue is identified. Due to the lack of knowledge occupants have about the spread of fire and smoke, they tend to evacuate after the fire alarm goes off. The other activities identified were fighting the fire and looking for family, friends, or other occupants sleeping. In addition to these findings, [PERSON] [9] indicates that obtaining warning information from other occupants appears to be a better indication of a fire emergency rather than relying on the smell of burning or seeing smoke. As fire and smoke spread rapidly during a fire in a building, the evacuation process must be carried out as quickly as possible. The parameters that affect the time and effectiveness of emergency evacuation in high-rise buildings have been studied [11]. The authors considered several evacuation scenarios, taking into account situational awareness related to the availability of staircases and emergency exits. The impact of the number of storeys, the width of escape routes, and the location and number of exits were assessed. Risk was simulated with a view to improving evacuation procedures. Evacuation times were estimated with realistic smoke and fire exposure. It is worth noting that making the inhabitants aware of the emergency and informing them about the available rescue options shortened the evacuation time by up to 24%. Researchers [12] reviewed the available literature on people's behaviour during evacuation in high-rise buildings. These were the behaviours of both individuals and the crowd. Virtual Reality Technology was used in evacuation experiments to test its effect on group behaviour in tall buildings.
