Abstract

Firefighting is considered a very dangerous but indispensable profession, as firefighters face many physical risks while dealing with accidents and fires of various types, as well as many hidden risks after returning from fighting a fire, which are represented by a lot of damage causing many chronic and serious diseases that It must be dealt with physically through special sterilization rooms, and it must be dealt with psychologically through the design prepared for that.
Hence, the problem of the research was: the lack of an internal environment that is psychologically and physically prepared, stress-reducing, and disease-resistant to the difficulties that firefighters face after emergency operations, and the ineffectiveness of the design and colors used - white and red - to enhance positive emotions and psychological factors among firefighters.
The importance of the research lies in the extent to which it is possible to apply one of the interior design philosophies, which is the “Japanese philosophy" - which relies on simplification in the Japanese style and functionalism in the Scandinavian style - and apply it to the service and administrative spaces of fire stations to reach a design with a high level of quality for the interior environment to enhance the positive factors. Psychological preparation for firefighters. Taking into account the aesthetic aspects in designing the stations by providing a sufficient amount of open spaces, gardens, and some social services such as entertainment places, day rooms, and fitness halls.
